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 Jacques Pion, Debi Cornwall, Harold Davis, a Fujifilm GFX 100, camera buyers and Darkroom for iOS.
- In On the Way to Oblivion, French photographer Jacques Pion captures everyday life in eastern Ukraine. "I want to show that all the people living there, so close to us, are really on the road to oblivion," he says.
- In Debi Cornwall Investigates the Performance of U.S. State Control, Izabela Radwanska Zhang takes a look at the photographer's new book, Necessary Fictions which illustrates the theatre of war craft in the imagined city of Atropia.
- Harold Davis slices up some Flowers Made From Beet and Radish Slices. There's no stopping him.
- In The Fujifilm GFX 100 vs. Salt Water Teardown, Roger Cicala and Aaron Closz take apart the medium format camera after it was totaled by salt water. "Well, we learned that salt and water are bad for cameras. Really bad. Even if it's just a little bit," Cicala writes.
- Thom Hogan divides camera buyers into Loyalists, Revolters, and Newcomers while arguing "most camera companies simply don't have a clear message to their potential customers."
- Derrick Story finds Darkroom for iOS Is a Fun, Powerful Image Editor. You can use it standalone or as a plug-in for Apple Photos.
