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 Philip Jarmain, Lucy Conticello, zootography, a 16mm Sigma and Harold Davis.
- Philip Jarmain is photographing Detroit's Opulent Ruins. There is every kind of building (even an aquarium), its glory decaying into oblivion after only 100 years.
- Lucy Conticello, director of photography at M, the weekend supplement of Le Monde, shares her approach to commissioning photography and why she prefers working with photographers who shoot on film.
- Dave Williams share his Top Zootography Tip. "Make it look wild!" he advises.
- Kirk Tuck scores a $265 used Sigma Contemporary 16mm f1.4, DC DN and takes it on a Panasonic GX8 to Zilker Park to get acquainted. The images are enthralling.
- Harold Davis has announced The Making of Creative Garden Photography, a free webinar at 11 a.m. PT on July 5. Registration required.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look four years back. And please support our efforts...
