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 paralympic photographers, Paralympics closing ceremony, Stephanie Santana, Morocco, French Polynesia, Unomia Stolonifera, old images and Photo Book Photo List.
- Jonny Weeks profiles the Amazing Paralympic Photographers With Disabilities. "Several photographers with disabilities have been creating striking images in Paris, defying mobility issues, visual impairments and societal expectations in the process," he writes.
- Reuters presents images from the Paris Paralympics Closing Ceremony.
- In Ways of Knowing, Liz Sals interviews Stephanie Santana about her ongoing project The Wayfinding Series, which honors Black women as "wayfinders, planners, strategists, timeline jumpers and archivists."
- Rubble and Grief pairs images of the same location in Morocco a year after a record earthquake shook communities throughout Morocco's High Atlas, killing nearly 3,000. The government said the $12 billion rebuilding effort will take five years.
- In Tim McKenna Documents the Heaving Waves of French Polynesia, Jackie Andres presents a few of McKenna's black-and-white surf images of the last 20 years.
- Ana María Arévalo Gosen has documented the devastating effects of Unomia Stolonifera, a fast-spreading coral, and the battle to preserved the marine ecosystem in the Caribbean.
- Jim Kasson finds Another Reason to Keep Your Old Images. "During the late 1960s I took pictures of Can-Am and USRRC races for a magazine called Competition Press and Autoweek," he writes. "I had lots of images of famous drivers like Dan Gurney, Bruce McLaren, Dennis Hulme, Jim Hall, Parnelli Jones, Mark Donohue, etc. During one of my moves in the 1970s almost all the negatives got tossed. I do have about four 36-exposure rolls left from one race in 1968." He wishes he had all of them now.
- Pier 24 Photography has published its Photo Book Photo List. The 168-page book includes 93 reproductions with essays by Vince Aletti and Christopher McCall in an edition of 2,000. The 54 book lists included were suggested by photographers over 15 years.
