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 the first day of school in 1957, Shin Noguchi, David Lienemann, fluid head tripods, a Thunderbolt hub and tips for the Worldwide Photo Walk.
- The First Day, shot in black-and-white, is inspired by the photographs of Elizabeth Eckford as she passed through crowds of angry white students, teachers and members of the community on her way into a formerly segregated school in 1957. "Directed by Barnaby Roper, the short film captures Jones's elegant movements and freezes them in time," Grace Ebert writes.
- Ebert also presents some Candid and Enigmatic Moments Observed on the Streets by Shin Noguchi. "Taken around Japan, the photographs appear as objective shots, glimpsing candid moments that are enigmatic and sometimes humorous," she writes.
- In Former White House Photographer Looks Back at His Years Covering Joe Biden, Sam Gillette interviews David Lienemann on the occasion of the publication of Lienemann's 256-page photo book Biden: The Obama Years and the Battle for the Soul of America. Lienemann has a few stories to tell about the Democratic candidate for president. "He did something that I don't think I would be able to do and I haven't really ever seen anyone else do," Lienemann says.
- Kirk Tuck goes shopping for Fluid Head Tripods for his video work.
- The $149 compact OWC Thunderbolt Hub adds ports to a Thunderbolt 4 PC to connect and charge any device with a USB-C or USB-A connector. Dual 4K displays or a single 5K/6K/8K display, high-performance storage (including NVMe solutions), A/V mixers, phone or tablet, even desktop accessories like a keyboard or mouse are all fair game.
- Scott Kelby shares some Important Last-Minute Tips for Tomorrow's Worldwide Photo Walk. He'll be broadcasting live all day with Erik Kuna.
