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.

- In Should You Imitate? Thom Hogan suggests a healthy way to do it with a nod to his own mentor, Galen Rowell.
- Kirk Tuck gives some advice about Dialing in a Camera. And a lens. "Cameras all have their own color and tonal personalities and getting familiar with them makes a difference in how easy or hard the files from them are to correct," he writes.
