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 sports, Corky Lee, the Rathkopfs, Francine LeClercq, the Fujifilm X-T5 and an office move.
- The Associated Press has published its Sports Week in Pictures curated by Milan-based staff photographer Antonio Calanni.
- Vivian Ho previews Photographic Justice: The Corky Lee Story, a new documentary about the Asian American photographer who died in 2021 from Covid-19. "Through his own words and through commentary from a number of well-known figures in the Asian American community, the documentary delves into the lasting impact of Lee's work -- and the importance of bearing witness on a community level," she writes. Here's the trailer:
- Suzanne Sease features Maminka/'Switching Roles', the personal project of the Rathkopfs, a mother daughter team, which "chronicles the poignant journey of how my mother, and I reversed roles. In 2016, she became my caregiver during my cancer diagnosis, a role that later reversed in 2022 when she faced a stroke and cancer."
- Francine LeClercq transforms Surveillance Camera Stills into hand-embroidered artworks. Each piece, which requires 40,000 stitches to render the 1/24 second exposure, contrasts "the invasive nature of surveillance with the personal touch of artistic expression."
- In My Time With the Fujifilm X-T5, Zach Sutton suggests the X-T5 makes a possible alternative to the unavailable X1000VI. Paired with the Fujifilm XF 35mm f1.4 lens, he shot an Indian Motorcycles press event over 10 days. Which taught him a few lessons, not the least of which was: "I learned that having a camera, any camera, to help excite the feeling of documenting your life is abundantly important and often forgotten."
- In Progress of the Combobulation, Mike Johnston survives an office move from the porch to a back room (full of windows) where he also installed a new standing desk.
BTW, we worked out a one-click solution to the skin tones of our smile from the past yesterday. And there's more to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
