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 Nick Bradt, Salvatore Ferragamo, Richard Avedon, eclipse aftermath and Rosie Marie Cromwell.
- Grace Ebert features the Unsettling Underwater Photos of Nick Bradt's series Sink/Rise. "His photographs depict people performing unremarkable tasks like sitting at a table or tottering on a seesaw, although their surroundings are incredibly unsettling," she writes. "Shot entirely in-camera off the coast of Fiji, each seemingly mundane scene occurs on the ocean floor."
- Rare Historical Photos presents Salvatore Ferragamo: The Life of a Shoemaking Legend in a series of old black-and-white photos. "Ferragamo's shoes weren't just footwear; they were works of art that graced the feet of the silver screen's finest."
- Kirk Tuck pays tribute to Richard Avedon, who inspired him to pursue portraiture as a profession.
- In Sightline to the Sun, Mike Johnston took a Night mode shot with his iPhone during the eclipse as his view of the event was "blanketed by overcast from stem to stern, dawn till dusk, start to finish." Jack MacDonough had better luck and the wisdom to bracket his exposures for a nice sequence.
- Nelson Chan will interview Rosie Marie Cromwell tonight at 7:30 at California College of the Arts in San Francisco. Cromwell is a photo and video artist whose work explores "the effects of globalization on the local and the tenuous space between the political and the spiritual." The event in the Larry Sultan Visiting Artist Series is free. Images from Cromwell's El Libro Supremo de la Suerte will be on view at Pier 24 Photography in the exhibition Turning the Page, which opens later this month.
