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 Charlie Chaplin, Thibaud Poirier, Catherine Opie, black-and-white, 35mm lenses on medium format and the M1's limitations.
- In Silence Is Golden: The Archives of Charlie Chaplin, the Guardian presents a few images from The Charlie Chaplin Archives, a new 560-page book from Taschen of 900 images detailing the director's career.
- Grave Ebert features The Stately Modern Designs of Churches Across Europe captured by French photographer Thibaud Poirier in his Sacred Spaces series. "Poirier uses the same focal point of the front pulpit and pews in all of the photographs, allowing easy comparisons between the colors, motifs and structural details of each location," she writes.
- In Catherine Opie Maps a Majestic Topography of Modern American Life, Miss Rosen catches up with Opie, who has been criss-crossing America for four decades.Rosen includes several images from Opie's new 338-page book Catherine Opie. See also an interview with her from 2017, featured in our Saturday Matinee series.
- Harold Davis offers some thoughtful answers to a reader's questions in More About Seeing in Black & White.
- Yes, You Can Use 35mm Lenses on a Medium Format Camera with the help of a Fotodiox adapter and some clever Fujifilm engineers, Derrick Story reports.
- Howard Oakley drops the other shoe in What's Ugliest About M1 Macs and Needs Improvement (with a lively conversation in the comments). It's another way of speculating about future designs.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
