In this recurring column, we highlight a few items we've run across that don't merit a full story of their own but are interesting enough to bring to your attention. This time we look at Mount Fanjing, Alexis Pichot, Yoko Ishii, the history of photography, nosebleed ISOs, a visual trend of 2019 and transformative visual tech.
- Alan Taylor makes A Photo Visit to Mount Fanjing in 12 photos. "The Temple of the Buddha and Maitreya Temple are separated by a narrow gorge that visitors can cross via a short bridge," he writes. But don't look down. It's 330 feet to the bottom.
- French photographer Alexis Pichot's new series Séléné "is an exploration of iridescent landscapes, shot under the 'protective gaze of the moon'." The color rendering is unearthly but captivating.
- In Yoko Ishii Photographs Deer Roaming the Streets of Nara, Japan, Rosie Flanagan presents the Kanagawa-based photographer's images of the deer held sacred in the ancient city. And we think scooters are trouble.
- In The Best One-Volume History of Photography, Mike Johnston share a few reflections on the topic. If you're interested in a recent history, we can recommend A Chronology of Photography, which we reviewed in Book Bag: Two Histories of Photography.
- Jim Kasson shows Z 6 and Z 7 Shadow Noise at Nosebleed ISOs. Not a significant difference, he notes.
- Brand Stand: Show Us Your Mission is Adobe's second Visual Trend of 2019. Brenda Milis reports, "Over the course of the last year at Adobe Stock we've seen queries for 'recycling' grow by 53 percent, 'sustainability'" was up 50 percent and 'social responsibility' increased by 43 percent." Those are your new keywords.
- Dmitry Dragilev lists Three Ways New Visual Tech Will Transform Your Life. "By 2022 there will be over 45 billion cameras in the world integrated into everything from our phones to our cars and our mirrors," he points out.
