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 climate change, where food comes from, Macau, Kelly Burgess, squirrels, printing holiday cards and the photo-blogosphere.
- Among its year-end collections, the Associated Press presents its images of Climate Change. "This year is expected to break 2023's global average temperature record and the effects of the warming -- more powerful hurricanes, floods, wildfires and suffocating heat -- have upended lives and livelihoods," Peter Prengaman introduces them.
- Kate Mothes features a few of George Steinmetz's photos of where food comes from, taken from his new book Feed the Planet. Published last month the 256-page hardcover documents the global effort that puts food on our tables and transforms the surface of the Earth.
- Photographer Eduardo Leal documents Macau, a city that has gone through enormous development in its 25 years since its handover to China from Portugal.
- In the Shadow of the Mountain is a poetic series by Vermont-based photographer Kelly Burgess "drawing inspiration from her own life to explore universal themes of love, loss, memory and the human condition." The series explores the theme of New England gothic, a literary and aesthetic tradition that reflects the dark and hidden aspects of New England’s history and culture.
- Sonja Wild documents Bay Area Squirrels "actively hunting, killing and ripping apart the bodies of tiny California voles."
- Derrick Story details How to Print a Holiday Greeting Card on an inkjet printer with a 7x10-inch template.
- Mike Johnston remarks on Blake and Tom and the Photo Blogosphere. "The news is that Blake Andrews and Tom Griggs, both former protean photo bloggers, had a conversation about the demise, or at least the constriction, of the former photo-blogosphere," he writes before reflecting on the difference between writing and podcasting. One might also reflect on the difference between actively reading and passively watching. Only one has to be learned.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
