Around The Horn
3 May 2019
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 LaToya Ruby Frazier, National Geographic Travel Photo Contest entries, Vincent Glielmi, Global Big Day, comparing two cameras and the new Creative Commons search engine.
- The End of the Line is a stunning photo essay in black-and-white by LaToya Ruby Frazier with text by Dan Kaufman that answers the question, "What Happens to a Factory Town When the Factory Shuts Down?" (And the good news is that the N.Y. Time is Taking Down Its Paywall for Three Days so you can enjoy it without a subscription.)
- Alan Taylor presents 10 photos from the 2019 National Geographic Travel Photo Contest, which just closed.
- In The Awkward But Beautiful Edges of American Life, Rosie Flanagan highlights the work of Chicago-based photographer Vincent Glielmi.
- In Calling All Bird Photographers, Kristan Ashworth reports Cornell Lab's Global Big Day is tomorrow, when 30,000 bird watchers will hope to sight 7,000 species in a single day, as they did last year.
- Derrick Story compares the Panasonic S1 vs. Olympus E-M1X at 200 Percent. "It's really quite remarkable the quality we have in our cameras these days," he writes. But he did find two subtle advantages to the S1.
- The Creative Commons search engine is out of beta "with over 300 million images indexed from multiple collections, a major redesign and faster, more relevant search."
More to come! Meanwhile, please support our efforts...
