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 month, Iranian missile attack, Epson International Pano Awards, Michael Ormerod, new digital holsters, Grant Petersen and single-use cameras fail.
- The Associated Press showcases its Top Photos of the Month for September. We though we'd seen them all already but nope.
- In Missiles Rain Down on Israel, Reuters documents the Iranian attack.
- Winners of the 15th Epson International Pano Awards were chosen from among 2,370 entries from 95 countries. 2025 entries are now open at a reduced entry fee.
- In Lost Highways, Mee-Lai Stone features British photographer Michael Ormerod's images of unnamed places from a road trip in a VW cammper van before his death in 1991.
- Think Tank Photo has announced its Digital Holster Series V3 which can be worn as a shoulder bag or mounted on a belt. The series is designed to closely fit a camera with a zoom lens attached with a larger zippered pocket to carry accessories. Prices range from 58.75 to $129.75.
- Mike Johnston links to the Grant Petersen Profile in The New Yorker for the way he puts cycling in perspective, something Johnston says we might do with photography. "You don't need the photographic equivalent of the spandex costume and the carbon-fiber bike frame," he writes. "You can just have a nice camera that you keep in good tune and don't mind taking along with you when you go places."
- In Photo Lab Claiming That All Three Rolls of Film Came Out Blank, a Reddit poster is "baffled and frustrated that I have no photos from the civil ceremony" from their wedding. Former lab technicians chime in with ways to tell if its a manufacturing issue, user error or lab screw-up.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
