Around The Horn

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 Valentine's Day, hummus, Glen McClure, the Nikon Zf and a new photography standard.
- The Associated Press presents images of Valentine's Day Celebrations Around the World. "Images captured by Associated Press photographers around the globe Wednesday showed love is a many-faceted emotion, employed not just to root for long-lasting romances but to fight for justice and counteract anger and hatred," the company said. No Swift-Kelce moment but there is an alarming image of skeletons kissing.
- Kate Mothes features Dan Perez's images of hummus presentations designed by Naama Steinbock and Idan Friedman for Speculative Hummus, a case study in design. "Topped with olive oil, garnished with herbs and sprinkled with spices, each presentation is as much a feast for the eyes as it is a comforting, nourishing dish," she writes.
- Suzanne Sease features Apprentice to Light, the personal project of Glen McClure featured in a book of that name and an exhibit running through Mar. 30 in Norfolk, Va. "As I travel across Virginia or to Ireland, France and Italy, I strive to make the finest portraits of the people and places that I encounter," he says.
- In The Nikon Zf Has Both an AA Filter and Pixel Shift, Jim Kasson corrects his opinion to the contrary and provides a chart-based analysis based on the DPR Studio Scene image.
- Paul Melcher heralds The Birth of a New Photography Standard after "Meta, OpenAI and Google separately announced that they would start implementing and support a metadata framework called Content Credentials, established by the working group C2PA and spearheaded by the Content Authenticity Initiative." Deception will still exist, he writes, it will just be harder to fool people with photographs.
