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 the Met Gala, Phil Chang, Sausalito's houseboats, photojournalist workflow and the new iPad Pros.
- Amir Hamja and Nina Westervelt captured 20 Unforgettable Looks at the Met Gala (gift link).
- In Made to Fade, Erin Migdol explores Phil Chang's series Unfixed Works, in which the instability of the photographs is the art.

- Noah Burger photographed Sausalito's Million-Dollar Houseboats when George Kelly toured a few open houseboats on a recent Sunday.
- A Reddit poster with 10 years of experience behind the lens is Looking to Learn About Workflows From Photojournalists. Photo Mechanic and its code replacements plus Lightroom get thumbs up.
