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 Syrian refugees, Vienna's Ball Season, the Congo rainforest, sled dogs, gels in studio and DEI photo purge.
- Kate Mothes presents Nick Brandt's black-and-white photos of The Resilience of Syrian Refugees facing the climate crisis. "The series marks the fourth chapter in an ongoing series called The Day May Break, which has taken Brandt around the world in search of visual stories illuminating the effects of the climate crisis," she writes.
- Denes Eerdos captures Vienna's Ball Season, which involves over 450 balls each year. "Today, teenagers learn to waltz by watching YouTube videos while ladies shed their elbow-length gloves to better swipe on smartphones," he writes.
- Will Burrard-Lucas reveals The Secret Life of the Congo Rainforest using high-definition camera traps on trails in Congo's Nouabalé-Ndoki national park.
- In How Greenland's Cherished Sled Dog Tradition Is Threatened by Climate Change, Grace Widyatmadja provides the photographs of the dogs whose numbers have been reduced from 25,00 to 13,00 in the last 20 years.
- Zach Sutton walks through Working With Gels in Studio.
- The Associated Press reports U.S. Military Firsts Among the 26,000 Images Flagged for Deletion in Trump DEI Purge. "The vast majority of the Pentagon purge targets women and minorities, including notable milestones made in the military. And it also removes a large number of posts that mention various commemorative months – such as those for Black and Hispanic people and women," AP notes. "In some cases, photos seemed to be flagged for removal simply because their file included the word gay, including service members with that last name and an image of the B-29 aircraft Enola Gay, which dropped the world's first atomic bomb on Hiroshima, Japan, during the second world war."
