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 California reservoirs, Australia's Outback, Sean Scheidt, a Mamiya RB67 repair, Midjourney and Andrew Molitor.
- In Dramatic Photos Show How Storms Filled California Reservoirs, the Associated Press shows before and after comparisons of various sites. "It's a stunning turnaround of water availability in the nation's most populous state," the authors write.
- Larry Ryan talks to Adam Ferguson about his Stark and Brutal Photos of Australia's Outback. The works are part of the Silent Wind, Roaring Sky photo series, which will be exhibited at Somerset House in London and in a book to be published next year.
- Suzanne Sease features Time Spent, the personal project of Sean Scheidt that portrays "enduring love and familial connections through life's uncertainties." He follows his grandparents as they grieve the loss of their son, his uncle.
- In Reviving a Legend: Mamiya RB67 Repair, Anthony Kouttron replaces a broken focus knob using CAD software and 3D printer while straightening the focus shaft on a lathe.
- In AI Midjourney Imitates My Photographic Style, Michael Erlewine writes, "In a matter of seconds, Midjourney accepted an image, one of my stacked flower images and output to me four numbered steps in breaking down my style, each step containing a paragraph or two describing how my style works."
- Andrew Molitor muses on Photography Sans Affect, "the affectless photography I was bitching about in the previous remarks." He writes, "These things are made, quite literally, by doing the opposite of what people were taught in the 1970s and 1980s to do in order to produce emotional impact."
