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 AP photos of the week, Donna Ferrato, patience and Andrew Molitor.

  • The Associated Press has published its Photos of the Week, highlighting some of the most compelling images from around the world made by its photographers. The one of the hot dog eating contest is worth the click all by itself. You'd never guess.
  • In Donna Ferrato's Camera Is a Weapon for Women (gift link), Arthur Lubow reviews an exhibit of her photos drawn from a book published last year, Holy, at Daniel Cooney Fine Art timed to coincide with the anticipated overturning of Roe vs. Wade. "Her subject is women taking control of their bodies and in her fiercely empathetic mission, sometimes she turns the camera on herself," he writes.
  • Jason Row explains Why Patience Will Make Your Images Stand Out. He starts with an impatient but perfectly lovely iPhone image. It's the inspiration "to go move beyond the run-of-the-mill snapshots and to produce work that requires the use of my skill, knowledge and most of all patience."
  • In View Camera Howler, James Curtis, Andrew Molitor takes on Curtis for his argument in Mind's Eye, Mind's Truth that Walker Evans used a view camera movement to align doorways in and image of the Gudger Burroughs house published in Let Us Now Praise Famous Men. "This is just a guy standing in the right spot with a camera," he writes.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
