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 the Itaewon disaster, OM-5 vs. OM-1, pareidolia, Kevin Raber's studio move, November opportunities and an AI ethicist.

  • The Things Left Behind depicts the personal belongings retrieved by police from the scene of the Itaewon disaster displayed at a gym in Seoul for survivors and the relatives of the victims to collect. Among them, all in surprisingly good shape due to the nature of the event, are Halloween masks, 256 pairs of shoes, 258 pieces of clothing, 124 bags and 156 electronic items.
  • In OM-5 vs. OM-1, Derrick Story compares the two new OM System cameras. "My view is that the OM-1 is the obvious choice for professional use, sports photography and serious photojournalism," he writes. "The OM-5 is a good choice for travel photography, hiking, family gatherings and folks who love technology but don't necessarily need every professional feature."
  • Dahlia Ambrose suggests How Pareidolia Can Be Used for Creative Photography. Pareidolia? Detecting in naturally-occurring abstract patterns familiar objects like faces.
  • In For Once a Silver Lining, Kevin Raber reports getting an eviction notice from the Stutz Building his studio has called home just as he was on his way to Svalbard. "That's what I call a downer letter," he writes. But the silver lining is that he moved the operation to the Indianapolis Arts Center where the sky is not cloudy all day.
  • In November 2022 Opportunities, Colossal lists more than a couple of photography-related items.
  • In 10 Questions for an AI Ethicist, Paul Melcher interviews artificial intelligence ethicist Ravit Dotan. "Typically, the goal of ethical guidelines is to guide the people who are responsible for the machines to make good choices," she says.

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