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 James Nachtwey in Bucha, World Press Photo Winners, Jamel Shabazz, Nia MacKnight, panoramas, an Olympus Trip 35, a failing SSD, abstract photography and Julia Morgan.
- In Collecting Bodies in Bucha, Luke Mogelson and photographer James Nachtwey document the civilians killed by Russian troops in the Ukrainian city. Nachtwey's images are all black-and-white.
- Matt Fidler presents a selection of images from this year's World Press Photo Winners that includes regional and overall winners.
- Grace Ebert reviews Eyes on the Street, an expansive exhibition of one of New York City's most discerning and essential documentarians, photographer Jamel Shabazz. "With a self-described goal of preserving 'the world history and culture,' Shabazz continually finds the joy and vibrancy emanating from communities like Brownsville, Red Hook and Harlem," she writes.
- Suzanne Sease interviews Nia MacKnight about her personal project photographing her great grandfather's Family Heirlooms in black-and-white. "MacKnight never met her great grandfather John B. McGillis, but she did have a window into his storied life as an Anishinaabe man in early 20th-century America: a steam trunk where he stowed away undated photographs and stray objects such as an address book, a pair of horn-rimmed glasses and a single eagle feather," she writes.
- In I Entered and I Lost the Epson Panorama Photo Contest, Kevin Raber writes about his love of panoramas, showing off a few of his best.
- Among the offerings at the Museum of Endangered Sounds is an Olympus Trip 35 shutter and film advance.
- In When an SSD Becomes Wobbly, Howard Oakley deals with a balky SSD and explains how to diagnose a failing drive.
- Dahlia Ambrose lists 10 Tutorials to Help You Capture Stunning Abstract Photography.
- Joanne Furio's review of Julia Morgan, a heavily annotated and picture-rich biography by architectural historian Victoria Kastner, tells the inspiring story of this little-known but important 20th century artist. "Her strength helped her conquer endless difficulties," Kastner points out.
