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 the RPS awards, Eirini Androulaki, Denis Cherim, Haiyun Jiang, GIMP, 4K TVs and rumors.
- Matt Fidler presents the winners of the Royal Photographic Society Awards. Ingrid Pollard was awarded the RPS centenary medal in recognition of her outstanding contribution to the art of photography.

In her ongoing project, "I explore questions around illness and stigma, the right to control our own life and death, and the way individual and collective memory shapes our perception of the world," she says.
- Kate Mothes showcases Denis Cherim's images that capture The Coincidental Charisma of Daily Scenes in amusing compositions. "I feel curiosity about everyday objects with secret desires to be the main character," he says.
- Heidi Volpe interviews New York Times photographer Haiyun Jiang. "My mentors and colleagues, Doug Mills, Erin Schaff, and Kenny Holston, spent on average 12-14 hours a day following a candidate across multiple states," she says. "I think the human resources and effort into this campaign were remarkable."
- "Last Wednesday, the GIMP (GNU Image Manipulation Program, formerly General Image Manipulation Program) team finally announced that the long-awaited release of GIMP 3.0 is finally imminent— a release candidate version of GIMP 3.0 has arrived," writes Christopher Harper.
- Derrick Story shares some Tips for Showing Your Pictures on a 4K TV.
