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 Reuben Wu, Lars Tunbjörk, Daniel Pullen, Gen Z's digicams, Visual Intelligence, Seeing Things again, buying a printer and "image fidelity".
- Kate Mothes examines Reuben Wu's Glowing Curtains Drape Over Lake Michigan. "This series captures ephemeral, curtain-like structures that hover delicately in space, shaped by their environment rather than imposing upon it," Wu says.
- Lars Tunbjörk spent the 1990s photographing offices in Stockholm, Toyko and New York photographing The Unbearable Ennui of Office Life.
- Heidi Volpe interviews Daniel Pullen about Getting It Right in Camera. "Shooting with film was challenging for me; it had a steep learning curve," he says. "You would wait weeks to get the film back, only to learn from your mistakes."
- Claire Murashima takes three minutes to explain Why Gen Z Loves the Digital Compact Cameras That Millennials Used to Covet "just like miniskirts and low rise jeans." Computational photography is, apparently, over baked.
- In Picture Not So Perfect?, the Six Colors staff reviews the new iOS release, including Visual Intelligence, running on an iPhone 16 or 16 Pro.
- Mike Johnston posts a 'Seeing Things' Update after taking his copy off the shelf and paging through it.
- Kevin Raber suggests An Epson Printer for the Holidays (he plans a similar article for Canon printers). "This is a great time to purchase a printer, with many printers being sold at special holiday pricing," he writes before adding, "Besides the printer, it is essential to consider the type of paper to use."
- In Of Fidelity, Photography, Audio and Wine, Jim Kasson suggest we just stick to "image quality" rather than wrestle with "image fidelity."
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
