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 Horacio Coppola, pandemic photos, David Teran, Mark Murrmann, predictions, winter photographs and iPhone photos.
- Out of the Shadows presents Horacio Coppola's black-and-white images of Buenos Aires in the 1930s. They're on exhibit as Nocturnos at the Galeria Jorge Mara-La Ruche in the Argentine capitol until Feb. 28.
- The New York presents Pandemic Photos (gift article) from readers comparing life in 2020 and 2022. "When we asked hundreds of people what living with the pandemic meant for them today, they described joy at the return of things they had missed and a newfound gratitude for small moments," the curators writes. "But very often their responses -- in photos and words -- also reflected something more melancholy, a persistent sense of loneliness and dislocation."
- David Teran uses a Hasselblad 500CM to capture his Beautiful Photos of Ballerinas, he tells Chris Gampat in this interview. He carefully shots just one roll of 12-exposure Ilford HP5 per session. Which makes the contact sheets mesmerizing on their own.
- Heidi Volpe interviews Mother Jones photographer Mark Murrmann about his love of Street Photography and Zines. "For me, there's no better way to enjoy or consume photography than in a book or zine form," he says. "The way the images work with or against each other on a page (or sit by themselves on a page), the way they interact with the photo that came before and comes after as you turn the pages."
- Thom Hogan makes some Outlandish Predictions. Both in general and by company. Fun both ways.
- Dahlia Ambrose presents 23 Inspirational Winter Photographs. "Winter photos will work great if you create contrast like the golden sunlight or contrast colors on subjects or their outfits, etc.," she writes.
- In MKBHD on Apple's Processing Techniques for iPhone Photos, Federico Viticci links to an interesting take on the Gen Z digicam fad. "The iPhone's camera hardware is outstanding, but how iOS interprets and remixes the data it gets fed from the camera often leads to results that I find boring and uninspired unless I manually touch them up with edits and effects," he writes.
