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 Close-Up Photographer of the Year, Kowloon Walled City, The Americans, Black Rein, a street poet and Sigma's RF lenses.

- A new exhibition takes you Inside Kowloon Walled City using vintage photos and AI creations.
- Robert Frank's The Americans is being reprinted to mark the centennial of Frank's birth and an exhibition of his work at the Museum of Modern Art in New York. It was first published in 1958 with a introduction by Jack Kerouac.
- Black Rein is a photo series highlighting the Equestrian community in South Africa by photographer and filmmaker Karabo Mooki.
- Io Yeh Gilman captures in words and pictures Ben Bernthal writing street poetry that changes lives. "Three to five days a week, Bernthal loads a typewriter, envelopes, paper, a stool and an ironing board into a wagon and goes to Valencia Street, Dolores Park or another part of San Francisco to sell street poetry," she writes. "Strangers walking by have the option to either give Bernthal three words and receive a custom poem or to buy a mystery poem that Bernthal has already written and sealed in an envelope."
- Sigma has announced launch schedule for its DC DN Prime Lenses for the Canon RF mount.
