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.

"I always encourage people to print," Aguilar says. "Not necessarily platinum, but just print your images. It's so different to hold a print."
- In 'Open Questions' at newyorkercom, Mike Johnston invites you to follow photographer Joshua Rothman's new column, starting with What Can You Learn From Photographing Your Life? (subscription required).
