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 cherry blossoms, more cherry blossoms, Vision & Justice, shooting wide open, an hour with Steve Gosling, a boudoir shoots question and QuickLook.
- Photographer David Levene photographs Cherry Blossoms in the Japanese garden at the National Trust's Kingston Lacy country house in Wimborne, Dorset, and the Mount Fuji cherry trees at Mottisfont Abbey in Hampshire.
- Meanwhile, in Japan, Crowds Picnic to See Tokyo's Cherry Blossoms where cold weather has delayed their bloom. Eugene Hoshiko photographs the viewing parties.
- In Welcoming Underexposed Black Photographers Into the Canon ( gift link), Arthur Lubow reports Aperture will publish monographs on black photographers from the Vision & Justice project founded by historian Sarah Elizabeth Lewis. The project generates original research, curricula, and programs that reveal the foundational role visual culture plays in generating equity and justice in America. "The Vision & Justice book series is just one prong of Lewis's project, which also features what she calls 'convenings,' supported by the Ford Foundation, where experts from various disciplines discuss how to achieve full citizenship for all Americans with an emphasis on the power of imagery," he writes.
- "Just out of curiosity, how often would you say you photograph with any of your lenses Wide Open?," Mike Johnston asks. And gets 64 answers.
- Kevin Raber has posted his Photo Chat with Steve Gosling on shooting black and white. "In this presentation, Steve shared many of his images, as well as the backstory and inspiration that influenced him while taking the shot," Raber writes.
- A Reddit poster discovered a Photographer Sends Clients' Boudoir Shoots to Male Friends when her ex received photos from her. The photographers does this so they can "help her decide which shots the client's husband/bf would like most." But her clients don't know.
- Howard Oakley presents A Quick Look at QuickLook and Its Problems. "It currently provides two types of preview of file contents outside their editing app: thumbnails, smaller previews shown in Finder windows and previews, presented in their own floating window," he writes. "macOS provides a command line tool, qlmanage, primarily intended for developers debugging their own qlgenerator plug-ins and that can be helpful to identify the source of a problem and solve it."
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
