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 Migwa Nthiga, Jon Tonks, something to look at, a massive rainbow, five photogenic places and getting an agent.
- Grace Eberts features Migwa Nthiga's photographs of The Communities Most Impacted by the Climate Crisis near Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. "Encompassing an array of emotions from joyful to intensely focused, the series shares a nuanced narrative about what it means to live in the region so profoundly impacted by the climate crisis," she writes.
- Jon Tonks' Best Phone Picture was taken facing the door open to the street in a Houston dive bar just as a rider and horse appeared on the street. Grace Holiday writes, "Given the low light, Tonks would have needed a tripod if he had used his Hasselblad 501. 'But with my iPhone, I just had to swivel on my chair and catch the moment. A few minutes later, the horse and his owner had disappeared into the night.'"
- Andrew Molitor found Something to Look At in a photo of "a couple guys striding along" that is "doing the rounds." Your politics, he suggests, determines whether you find one of them a stud and the other an idiot. The angle of the wide angle shot matters a good deal here, too.
- In Massive Rainbow Forms Over San Francisco Amid Light Rain, Amy Graff presents a couple of smartphone photos of the event.
- Lisa Michele Burns lists Five Places to Photograph in February. It's the first in a new series by the founder of The Wandering Eye of places to shoot each month.
- A commercial photographer on Reddit is Considering Getting an Agent. Some good advice in the comments and a recommendation for The Wonderful Machine (whose negotiations we often feature here).
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
