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 Utopia, Pattie Boyd, Lensbaby Photowalk winners, Adobe MAX highlights, a fake quotation and JPEG-XL.
- In Between These Folded Walls, Utopia, Liz Sales interviews Sarah Cooper and Nina Gorfer about their project for young women whose lives have been uprooted by forced migration. "Rich with colors and symbols, this examination of hardship, hope and transformation in the age of a new diaspora suggests that we may each find a new utopia within ourselves," she writes.
- In George, Eric and Me, Mee-Lai Stone presents Pattie Boyd's favorite images of husband George Harrison, second husband Eric Clapton and herself through the years from her new photo book of music and fashion images.
- Winners of the September Lensbaby International Photowalk have been announced. Charming Vigier is the grand prize winner among the nearly 3,000 images submitted in 10 categories.
- In Adobe MAX Highlights, Scott Belsy covers the new features, next generation AI and sneak peeks unveiled at the conference this year.
- Mike Johnston takes on the fake quotation 'Great Artists Steal'. "Great artists don't steal," he writes. Mediocre, average, everyday artists steal. Great art, following the noble dictum of Eliot's compagno Ezra Pound, is made new." (The link goes to a truncated version of the piece, which can be read in full on the site's main page, at least until Typepad resolves its server issues.)
- In Google Outlines Why They Are Removing JPEG-XL Support From Chrome, Michael Larabel reports a comment from a Google engineer on the Chromium JPEG-XL issue tracker. "There is not enough interest from the entire ecosystem to continue experimenting with JPEG XL," the engineer claims, even though "the bitstream was only frozen in late 2020 and the file format was only standardized last year and the coding system since earlier this year," Larabel writes.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
