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 Istvan Kerekes, Nina Weinberg Doran, a Fujifilm X-Pro3, silhouettes and a 30-year family portrait.
- Grace Ebert presents Hungarian photographer Istvan Kerekes's monochromatic images of Transylvanian Shepherds and Their Herds. "They're powerful and Raw, showing the tender embrace of a weathered man as he cradles a lamb in his coat or the way a child wraps one of the animals around her neck," she writes.
- Portrait of Curious Girl by Nina Weinberg Doran has won the 4th edition of Feature Shoot's Global Billboard Contest. The girl in the photo was a house who discovered a vintage magnifying glass "and began to study it and figure out how it worked."
- Kevin Raber sheds no discernible tear Saying Goodbye to My Fuji X-Pro3. "I really tried to like the X-Pro3, but I got to a point where I had to stop trying to convince myself it was cool and not awkward," he writes.
- Terri Stone (inspired by Russell Brown) shows how to Make a Simple Yet Sophisticated Silhouette in Adobe Photoshop in just four steps that feel like two.
- In One Family, 30 Years, 30 Photographs, Tom Lamont features Zed Nelson's three-decade portrait of Sue and Frank's journey from new parents to grandparents. "They have all wondered, occasionally, how this project might end," he writes.
