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 Northern gannets, architectural photo finalists, Roland Kilimanjaro, Banksy, the Voigtlander 40mm, proof prints and Aperture Priority mode.

- In New Banksy Works Emerge Among the Destruction in Ukraine, Grace Ebert presents unattributed photographs of the artist's guerrilla battle against the Russian invasion. "Perhaps the most pointed piece is that of a young boy slamming Russian President Vladimir Putin to the ground during a judo match," she writes.

- In The Proof Prints Arrived, Mike Johnston gets a peek at Ctein's first prints of his Sigma black-and-white images. "The prints are beautiful. I like them better than I thought I would," he writes.
- Karlo de Leon explains Why Aperture Priority Is the Most Preferred Shooting Mode.
