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 AP photos of the week, a portfolio of portraits, the Hasselblad H system, ND filters, clouds, HP printers and Greg Kwiatek.
- Associated Press photo editor Anita Baca presents Pictures of the Week from asylum-seeking migrants gathered along the U.S.-Mexico border to British royal brothers George and Louis taking part in festivities celebrating their grandfather’s coronation, not to mention a new way to transport Tito's vodka.
- Kirk Tuck has been putting up new portraits at A Portfolio of Portraits, his portrait display blog site.
- In The End of Life for the Hasselblad H System, Dave Gallagher mourns "the official notice that the full product line of the Hasselblad H system has been officially discontinued."
- Chris Gampat considers the usefulness of The ND Filter in the digital age. Feroz Khan provides a series of images showing just how helpful one can be.
- Jasenka Grujin curates 20 Breathtaking Images of Clouds. "According to the World Meteorological Organization's International Cloud Atlas, there are 10 basic types of clouds," she writes.

- U.K. journalist Charlotte Gifford reports HP Disables Customers' Printers if They Use Ink Cartridges From Cheaper Rivals.
- Greg Kwiatek has been Making Art by Day, Guarding It at the Met by Night for over 25 years. He learned by looking and now is included in a small group show. "Kwiatek is emblematic of a large but little-known swath of the art world -- those who have never been famous and likely never will be but doggedly, passionately keep at it anyway," writes Robin Pogrebin.
