- The Phoblographer interviews San Francisco-based photographer Stephanie Dolen about Documenting Floral Patterns. "“Seeing patterns in nature encourages me to create patterns of my own," she says.
- Peter Eastway continues his series on Mastering the Art of Photographic Composition with a fourth installment. This time he discussion horizons. "There's no need to look for a dictionary definition of 'horizon' because no matter what or where it is, the horizon is really just a compositional 'line,'" he writes. Sort of like belting your imaginary waistline.
- Kirk Tuck lists The Pros and Cons of Owning Studio Space in response to a reader inquiry. "Live without a studio space? No thanks," he writes.
- Lloyd Chambers has had enough of the loaner Fujifilm GF 35-70mm he wants to buy.
