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 Edward Burtynsky, James Ellery, Charles Brewer-Caras, phone-and-camera shots and making choices (or not).
- In Edward Burtynsky Revisits Nature's Innocence in New Collection, Mark Mann reports the Canadian photographer "has turned his focus again to the real thing, pure and simple." The images resemble the work of Jackson Pollack more than Ansel Adams, however.
- In Forgotten 20th-Century Photography Studio Found in New York Attic, Isis Davis-Marks reports the sealed-off space in Geneva, N.Y., held original portraits of suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton. The portraits were probably made by James Ellery, a prominent photographer active during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
- Kehl Bayern reports Venezuelan Explorer Charles Brewer-Caras' Photo Collection Destroyed in Massive Fire. "His daughter Karen has launched a GoFundMe campaign to help her father resume his career as well as pursue his goal of publishing more photography books," he writes.
- Derrick Story is experimented with iPhone-Camera Couples. "The idea is, how can you leverage the best of a digital camera and a late model iPhone when traveling light in the field," he writes. And gives a glowing example of one approach.
- Lloyd Chambers considers whether to commit to the Fujifilm GFX100S or Sony A1 or Sony A7R IV for Landscape, Studio, Etc? "The well-heeled photographer really ought to own both the Sony A1 system and the Fujifilm GFX100S," he writes. Sure. One of each always resolves this sort of problem nicely.
