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, Latin American Foto Festival, Cortona On The Move, World Architecture Festival, Harold Davis, a contract, Alan Ross, Cory Richards and authenticity.
- The Associated Press showcases its Sports Week in Pictures including the Tour de France, Euro 2024 and Wimbledom.
- The Bronx Documentary Center will hold its annual Latin American Foto Festival showcasing the talents of emerging and established photographers from the region. The festival runs from July 11 to 28.
- LensCulture picks 22 images from Cortona On The Move, the 14th edition of the Italian International Photo Festival. "The theme for this edition is Body of Evidence and we are happy to share a preview from several of the featured photographers," the publication notes.
- The World Architecture Festival has announced its shortlist. Winners will be chosen in November during a live competition at the festival in Singapore.
- Harold Davis photographed Weed in the Light with his Leica Monochrom M11 "equipped with the Macro-Adapter-M (essentially, a variable extension tube) and the inimitable Sadayasu Miyazaki's MS-Optics ISM 1.0/50."
- Bryan Sheffield negotiates a $95K contract for Brand Narrative and Product Photography with a consumer health client.
- Kevin Raber has posted Light, Beauty and Chance, his one-hour Photo Chat with Alan Ross.
- Sacha Pfeiffer interviews former National Geographic photographer Cory Richards about his new book The Color of Everything, a memoir "about the highs of mountain climbing and his struggles with mental health."
- In Flavors of Authenticity, M.H. Rubin applies economist Joseph Pine's approach to photography. "In his book Authenticity: What Consumers Really Want (2007) authenticity is gauged by two primary questions: 'Is it true to itself?' and 'Is it what it says it is?'" he writes. "I particularly liked this approach because I'd settled on the Edward Weston statement that all photography involved a willful distortion of fact and that sounded very much like Pine's starting point with businesses."
