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 Terry O'Neill, Toby Binder, Dennis Thorpe, Ian Spanier, Harold Davis and the fate of many museums.
- The Guardian has a selection of Terry O'Neill's Most Celebrated Images but you can also download the exhibition catalogue to see them all.
- In Photos That Should Not Be Possible, Sean Sheehan highlights the recent images German photographer Toby Binder took of the "wee muckers" of Belfast that resemble life during the Troubles.
- A Brave Boy's Vaccination is Dennis Thorpe's best photograph, he tells Imogen Tilden. "I sent it to Picture Post magazine but they didn't publish it," he says.
- Suzanne Sease features the personal project of Ian Spanier who uses a Canon 5D Mark IV, Canon lenses, a Camranger 2, an iPad, Sekonic meter, Hoodman memory cards and Spider Holster Pro camera support to take safe portraits of bike riders.
- In Poetry, Harold Davis matches some old poems with his landscapes in preparation for his joint webinar with William Neill in September.
- One-Third of U.S. Museums May Not Survive the Year, Survey Finds, another casualty of the coronavirus pandemic.
