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 Baldwin Lee, Anne Collier, Tony Fouhse, Sigma's I series lenses, photography at home and Flickr.

  • Sweetness and Solace describes Baldwin Lee's black-and-white photographs of the deep south shot in the 1980s. The images are selected from the current exhibit of his work showing through July 22 in London.
  • In Anne Collier at Lismore Castle Arts: More Than Meets the Eye, Ravi Ghosh reviews a new exhibit by the New York conceptualist. "Collier's decision to use her own body in the pictures lifts them from conceptualism to something more affective," he writes. Eye is at Lismore Castle Arts, County Waterford, until Oct. 29.
  • In Anatomy of a Project, Ottawa photographer Tony Fouhse begins an eight-part mini-series that covers his new project from the first photo to the book launch. "When I'm working on a project I don't shoot from a list, don't have some predetermined template," he writes. "I want to use the camera to discover."
  • Kirk Tuck evaluates Sigma's New Lenses while appreciate the rest of the I series lenses. "Every one of the i-Series lenses that I have purchased and used is wonderful," he writes. And that's most of them.
  • Dahlia Ambrose suggests a few Photography Ideas You Can Try at Home. Thirty-six of them, in fact. "There are times when we are stuck at home for many reasons, like the weather, times when we do not feel inspired or motivated, health or when we are running out of creativity and ideas for photography," she writes. This solves that.
  • In Flickr to Copyleft Trolls: Drop Dead, Cory Doctorow writes, "Flickr has declared zero tolerance for copyleft trolls, predators who exploit a bug in out-of-date versions of the CC licenses in order to threaten good-faith users of CC images who make minor errors in the way they credit the images." He was himself a target of this kind of attack.

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