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 photos of the week, Michiko Chiyoda, the Fujifilm GFX100 and bowling alleys.
- Alan Taylor presents 35 Photos of the Week that include "tornadoes in Missouri, paratroopers in France, a handwriting competition in China, abortion-rights protests in New York City, the Great Wall Marathon in China, whitewater sports in England, a newborn walrus in Germany, red-carpet arrivals at the Cannes Film Festival, flooding in Oklahoma and much more."
- Benjamin Pineros is Exploring the Powerful Visual Poetry of Japanese Photographer Michiko Chiyoda in an interview with the photographer.
- Kirk Tuck (and a few of his readers) offers A Few Thoughts About Fujifilm's GFX100. A quick phone survey reveals "five upper tier professionals in Austin have all indicated that they have pre-ordered the GFX100. I'm inclined to make that number six," he writes in a comment.
- Bowling the American Dream is Jeff Sonnabend's Kickstarter project to print "an art-quality book of photography exploring American bowling alleys and their bowlers." A bowling alley, he suggests, "is a bellwether of the American Dream." The video presents a slide show of his images.
