Around The Horn

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 tornado damage, the NYT's photo archive, Chas Gerretsen, dSLR roster revisions, bargain full frame cameras, the first movies and a panorama technique.
- In Tornado Damage: 13 Days of Devastation in Photos, Alan Taylor presents 26 photos of the damage across America's Midwest and Northeast.
- "A peculiar thing about The New York Times's photo archive is how many acres of it are devoted to nothing," writes John Leland in If You Licked These Photos They Would Taste Like New York (So Don't Lick Them). He shows a few of the 500 amusing images by the N.Y. Times's staff photographers recently published in Only in New York.
- On the 40th anniversary of the release of Apocalyps Now, The Horror! Apocalypse Now Unseen presents on-set stills by Chas Gerretsen. "The Dutch photographer was a striking presence on set, with many cameras slung around his neck. He came to be the inspiration for Dennis Hopper's character, a photojournalist."
- In What's Likely to Go Away? Thom Hogan considers "what's likely to go away in dSLR land, what's likely to stay available and why." Don't worry, whatever disappears, he concludes, still leaves some "great choices."
- Jason Little lists a few Full Frame Camera Options for Photographers on a Budget. And that includes used models that can be had for as little as $500.
- In How to See the First Movies, the Museum of Modern Art curator Dave Kehr showcases clips from 36 reels of 68mm nitrate films made by the Biograph film company.
- Derrick Story tells A Thousand Stories in One Photo, an iPhone panorama of a graduation audience that he turned into a 30-second video in Photos for macOS.
