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 Venice Carnival, ancient Baobab Trees, restoring family photos, the Turkish Highlands, the Chinese New Year Parade and Colin Sussingham.
- The Associated Press showcases images from the opening weekend of the Venice Carnival. Reuters adds 18 more in Revelers Celebrate Carnival.
- Grace Ebert features image of Ancient Baobab Trees by Charles Gaines. "In his ongoing Numbers and Trees series, Gaines continues to chart differences," she writes of the composite images. "During a 2023 visit to Tanzania, the artist photographed majestic baobabs, which form the basis for a collection of triptychs that entwine the magnificent specimens with colorfully numbered grids."
- In Project Helps Spain's Flood Survivors Restore Family Photos, Bernat Armangué and Suman Naishadham share photos from Valencia Polytechnic University's restoration program, which has received 230,000 photos and 1,800 albums.
- In Touring the Turkish Highlands, Ryan Wilson continues his tour from Greece to Georgia, making his way across rarely visited mountain ranges on Türkiye's Central Anatolian plateau with his camera.
- Jay A. Martin took a few photos of San Francisco's Chinese New Year Parade this weekend.
- In Gate44 Artist in Residency, Heidi Volpe talks to Colin Sussingham about his book Constructive Interference, designed by Elle Rotstein. "The concept grew organically from Elle's layout where she was making physical connections between my photos, one image would bleed into the other through the seam," he says.
