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 Day 11 of the Olympics, Debby, Parisienne Projections, young lovers, curves, Apple's SuperDrive and serendipity.

- Guy Lane compiles images of the damage done by Tropical Storm Debby along the east coast.
- Steven Bloor compiles images from Parisienne Projections, a Getty Images project in Paris that displays the action and competitors' reactions during their Olympic competitions.
- A black-and-white image of Young Lovers Making Out in Pisa is Sherrie Nickol's best photograph, Amy Fleming reports. "All these young couples were sprawled out on the grass making out. It was a fabulous sight," Nickol says. "They were enjoying each other and didn't even notice me running over to take their picture."
- Continuing her series on Lightroom Classic, Julieanne Kost explains how to use the parametric and point curves of The Tone Curve Panel:

- A Reddit poster shares an image captured in Those Five Precious Seconds I Love About Street Photography. "A scooter, in front of a small boat, in front of a medium boat, in front of a larger boat, in front of a sail." And a few seconds later, a dog lays down in front of the scooter.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
