- Kate Mothes reviews Tree: Exploring the Arboreal World, which "includes more than 300 illustrations ranging from ancient wall paintings and botanical illustrations to captivating photography and multimedia work by today's leading artists."
- In I Just Heard a Camera Rumor I Really Want to Believe, Kirk Tuck fondly remembers his Canon Canonet QL17III and wonders if Leica will really deliver a Q3 with a 43mm lens in addition to the 28mm it now offers. He distracted himself by taking his Q2 downtown with a 40mm lens to shoot black and white.

- John Gruber takes a look at The 'Reimagine' Feature on Google's New Pixel 9 via Chris Welch (with examples) and Jess Weatherbed of The Verge. "Everyone alive today has grown up in a world where you can't believe everything you read," Gruber writes. "Now we need to adapt to a world where that applies just as equally to photos and videos. Trusting the sources of what we believe is becoming more important than ever."
