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 last sievewright, data, event photography, in-person workshops, scan crops, postmortem photography and AIPP closing.
- In Taking the Strain: The Last Sievewright, Christopher Thomond photographs Steve Overthrow making sieves and riddles by hand in the warm light of his shop.
- Thom Hogan focuses on Data: The Short Story. "So here's the thing: I talk all the time about optimal capture of data, optimal processing of data," he writes. "It's 'changing data' that gets a lot of people in trouble and fast."
- Kirk Tuck dips back into event photography for the first time since 2019 with A Fund-Raising Gala. Funny thing. He'd gotten rid of all the gear he used to use.
- In Looking Back on a Week in Oregon, Derrick Story reflects on his "first physical workshop since the onset of the pandemic." There will be more, he promises, because "there's still nothing better than hanging out with a bunch of geared-up photographers ready to capture whatever Mother Nature has ready for us."
- Jim Kasson presents his GFX 100S Scanned Images at 100 Pct. so you can admire the detail his steampunk scanner can capture.
- In The History of Postmortem Photography, Ashawnta Jackson writes, "In the nineteenth century, photographers were often called upon to do postmortem photography, capturing the stillness of the final moment." She briefly surveys the literature on the subject.
- AIPP Closes After 75 Years of Serving Photographers. The Australian institute blames "unprecedented financial pressure from the Covid-19 pandemic."
