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 solo diners, young crocodiles, tonality, backgrounds, photo books, historical facts, Colin Arisman and a compact SSD.

- Mike Johnston simulates evolving tastes in tonality in B&W Over the Years. "People are trying for a radically different look now," he writes. "It's a matter of what's in fashion and also a matter of what's being modeled as the generally acceptable standard."
