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 Week in Pictures, Alberto Venzago, Harold Davis, SXSW, a legally blind photographer, a safari rig and Samsung's Space Zoom mode.

  • Associated Press photo editor Eloy Martin in Madrid and AP photo editor Pamela Hassell in New York presents The Week in Pictures from a funeral in Boryspil to the Holi festival in India to the Paris Fashion Week to protests in Georgia.
  • Stylist of Reality features the images of the Swiss photographer Alberto Venzago currently on display at the Ernst Leitz Museum in Wetzlar.
  • In Rose Pasta Rag, Harold Davis composed rosettes of pasta "with an inner spiral added in Photoshop representing a reduction in the size of the overall image."
  • Kirk Tuck presents a few images from his Sunday's Walk Through SXSW. But the story he tells is when his mother took an Argus C-3 to visit a gypsy encampment in Turkey.
  • Chris Gampat confesses, I'm a Legally Blind Photographer This Unit Lets Me See. The EVFs in mirrorless cameras greatly helped him compose images but this piece is about the Sony Retinal Projection Camera Kit. He suffers from keratoconus.
  • Thom Hogan details My Rationalized Safari Rig. "Can my safari, two-lens, telephoto choice get better?" he asks. "Yes, I believe it can."
  • Malcolm Own reports It Looks Like Samsung Is Cheating on 'Space Zoom' Moon Photos. The damning test was to photograph a blurred image of the moon displayed on a monitor across the room with a suspect Samsung phone using Space Zoom. The captured image showed details that were not in the original. Presumably this was the result of "a specific AI model trained on a set of moon images, in order to recognize the moon and slap on the moon texture on it."

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