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 Epson Pano Awards, Edward Thompson, Joe Greer, Hanna Starkey, the Pillars of Creation, Dayanita Singh, power lines, peak color and Andrew Molitor.
- Alan Taylor presents the winners of the 13th Epson International Pano Awards. "Organizers reported that they received 4,129 entries from 1,197 professional and amateur photographers in 98 countries this year, competing for the top spots in four categories, for several special awards and for some of the cash prizes offered," he writes.
- Edward Thompson spent two years capturing Texan Life in Pictures. A Kickstarter for Thompson’s book Texas Hill Country ends Nov. 10.
- In The Magic of Film, Joe Greer talks about his fascination with analog photography for documenting his daily life in Nashville. "I want to be confident that in any situation life throws at me I'm able to make a photograph that is somewhat interesting or compelling to look at," he says
- Skye Sherwin profiles the work of Hanna Starkey who has been Asking Women: 'How's It Going?' for 25 years. "The apparent fleeting moments are crafted, with locations and props carefully chosen. The women include friends and people she approaches on the street," she writes. But she just gives them a card so they can think about it before she comes up with a scene.
- In Webb Telescope Captures New View of 'Pillars of Creation' (gift link), Dennis Overbye compares Hubble's view of the formation to NASA's James Webb Space Telescope’s near-infrared view.
- Hasselblad Award winner Dayanita Singh visited Hasselblad headquarters for a tour of the production process of the cameras and talked about how she got to where she is today:
- This step-by-step tutorial by Jeff Maysh shows how to Remove Power Lines From Street Photography using Photoshop's Spot Healing Brush.
- Mike Johnston muses about Peak Color with few iPhone examples. "The changing and falling of the leaves in Autumn is a shifting, changing show that doesn't have any absolute climax," he writes.
- In The Least Cognitive Effort Principle, Andrew Molitor reflects on a Twitter discussion he had "in which it developed that I didn't actually have much of a point." But leads to thoughts on the universal deployment of cliché as a communication device. "Thinking is hard and generally people try to avoid it," he writes.
