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 Joseph Michael Lopez, Benedict Redgrove, Erinn Springer, the History Panel, Colin Prior, intelligence, infrared photography, inspiration and virtual exhibitions.
- Dear New Yorker shows Joseph Michael Lopez's black-and-white images of his home town. "Sticking a flash in someone's face I find to be absurd," he says. "Sometimes, my approach plays on the idea of being a cinematographer on the streets, which challenges me to imagine where my camera should be."
- In Devid Gualandris takes you Inside the World of NASA via Benedict Redgrove's series NASA: Past and Present Dreams of the Future. "Shot in extremely high resolution with some of the most advanced camera gear, the finely-detailed images take us on an exclusive tour of NASA's spacecrafts and labs, showcasing large machines, vehicles, astronauts' suits and smaller objects used during past space missions," he writes.
- Heidi Volpe talks to Erinn Springer about How to Survive Winter, his recent piece for the New York Times. "The simplest solutions are always the most magical," he says. "And all the magic you need is probably in your backyard."
- Julieanne Kost continues her series 3, 2, 1, Photoshop! with Seven Ways to Get the Most Out of the History Panel:
- Kevin Raber posted his one-hour Conversation With Colin Prior. "In this video conversation we hear about Colin's life experiences and how he made photography a career. You'll learn of his camera choices and how he developed his landscape look," he writes.
- In Artificial, or Just Intelligence?, Thom Hogan discusses the difference between the snapshooter content with one image and the photographer who sees more than one composition in a scene.
- Derrick Story has been Getting Started With Infrared Photography. He began with a Hoya R-72 infrared filter before having an Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark III converted by Kolari Vision.
- David Williams offers a few tips on How to Keep Inspired. We liked the first one.
- In Virtual Exhibitions: Digital Spaces, Open Possibilities, Magali Duzant tours the Web, exploring the possibilities of exhibiting online.
