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 Audubon Photo Awards, Drone Photo Awards, Kinky Friedman, Jason Row, the Hasselblad XCD 55V and a career.
- Audubon magazine has published the top 100 images of its Audubon Photo Awards with detailed descriptions accompanying each one. "Around 2,300 entrants from across the United States and Canada submitted more than 8,500 photographs and videos of birds feeding, fighting, mating and making their way in the world," the editors write. Fourteen of them were Winners and Honorable Mentions.
- Siena Awards has published the Drone Photo Awards Nominees in nine categories.
- Kirk Tuck remembers Texas Legend Kinky Friedman, who passed away Wednesday. "I photographed him years ago for a magazine and we had a wild evening that started with a dinner at a Tex-Mex restaurant (he ordered extra Serrano peppers for his enchiladas along with a fried egg on top)," he writes.
- In Don't Push Your Photography Too Hard, Jason Row changes his plans to vlog about using his Fujifilm X-H2 on a trip to Edinburgh. Instead, he took out his smartphone and enjoyed himself.
- Jim Kasson has published a technical review of the Hasselblad XCD 55V on the LensRentals blog, summing up the individual entries he has been publishing on his own blog.
- In My Years as a Working Pro, Mike Johnston reflects on "the joy of getting to do something new or different every day, of getting to go odd places and see weird things, of getting to poke around and talk to people I would never have gotten to talk to otherwise."
