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 Nature TTL contest winners, lost boys, Juan Carlos Castañda, an on-set photographer, happiness and an adventure.
- Grace Ebert presents the winners of the Nature TTL Photographer of the Year contest chosen from over 8,000 submissions.
- The Young Men of a New West (gift link) features the photographs of the "lost boys" of Short Creek by Jim Mangan. "The subjects of these photographs inhabit a unique space in the desert expanses and open skies of the American West, suspended between hell and paradise," Mangan writes. "I hope that these photographs offer a bridge between our world and theirs."
- In 'They Became Messi' Juan Carlos Castañda tells the story of his best phone picture. "The kids in the picture were only 12 and they live in Haiti's poorest and most dangerous neighborhood," he writes. "However, when they discovered this yellow buoy, they became Messi, scoring a goal in the World Cup and, just for a second, leaving the heaviness of their lives behind."
- Rob Haggart continues his series on industry incomes with An On-Set Photographer who works mostly on films but sometimes on TV.
- In The Secret of Happiness? Mike Johnston wonders if enjoying what you have to do is the ticket.
- Kirk Tuck is Warming Up for Next Week's Shooting Adventure. But he, too, has some tips on happiness.
