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 Valerii Veduta, Danielle Khan Da Silva, an attempted armed robbery, planning, Lumix Tether, Depth of Field and words.
- Valerii Veduta uses Ukrainian soil as a pigment to print his wartime family album. "In these difficult times, the documentation of daily life and that part of the war that touched me personally became a kind of therapy and a way to live the war. I print my family album with gum bichromatic printing, where I use earth, our Ukrainian earth, as a pigment," he says. He applies some to paper and makes a print here:
- Heidi Volpe talks to Danielle Khan Da Silva about her shoot We Are the Inlet illustrating climate change in the Fall 2022 Patagonia Journal. "Photography has allowed me to learn so much by being a witness and understanding peoples' lives and stories," she says.
- KPIX reporter Da Lin reported an attempted armed robbery of wedding photographer Euntae Kim in broad daylight at the Palace of Fine Arts. Single Asian women photographers are especially vulnerable, wedding photographer Monica Lam pointed out in the clip but in the comments architectural photographer Lucas Fladzinski, who now wears a bulletproof vest on site, wrote, "Since 2020, it's extremely dangerous for us to work in this city as well as Oakland and parts of San Jose and beyond."
- In Planning and Preparation, Dave Williams points out, "We can only blame ourselves if we don't take responsibility and ensure we're as prepared as possible."
- Prepping for a Thursday shoot, Kirk Tuck sings the praises of the Lumix Tether software. "It loads Panasonic Raw files very quickly. It will allow me to write files to either the Laptop or the in-camera cards or to both," he notes.
- Dahlia Ambrose explains Depth of Field (including Circle of Confusion and Hyperfocal Distance) and how to use it. "Have you been taking control or advantage of this amazing technique to make creative and striking photographs?" she asks.
- In Words! Words! Words! Andrew Molitor observes that some commentary on photography is really just "questions about words."
