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 photos of the week, Visa Pour L'Image, the Venice Film Festival, the N.Y.C. subway, star trails and the George Eastman Museum.
- Alan Taylor curates 35 Photos of the Week, including a riverbed football match in England, the Notting Hill Carnival in London, a stork migration in Turkey, scenes from the 2024 Summer Paralympic Games in Paris, a wildfire in Brazil, a pickleball match above New York City and much more.
- Matt Fidler shares images from Visa Pour L'Image, the annual festival of photojournalism taking place in Perpignan, France, which runs until Sept. 15.
- Reuters presents 21 photos of Red Carpet Style From the Venice Film Festival.
- 120 Years of New York's Subterranean Literary Muse (gift link) features "archival photographs and literary quotes transport you through time." Can't have classier caption writers.
- Christopher O'Donnell explains How to Photograph Star Trails. "Truly, stars do not rotate or revolve around the earth, but it is the earth that rotates along its axis helping us record movements that are recorded as star trails," he writes before discussing gear, camera settings and techniques.
- In For a Great Museum Road Trip, Get in an Empire State of Mind (gift link), Jason Farago includes the George Eastman Museum in Rochester, N.Y. "This place was a true new media pioneer -- at its founding in 1949, no other American museum except MoMA had departments for film and photography -- and I found myself engrossed not only by formal daguerreotypes from Europe and casual snapshots from the United States, but even more by the gadgets used to make them," he writes. Amrita Stuetzle took a few photos of the place for the story, too.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
