Around The Horn

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 Sarah Mei Herman, anti-Musk protests, Brutalist architecture, New Visions awards, ETTR, monochrome sensors, TKO Suzuki and a contract.
- Julian & Jonathan is a new book by Sarah Mei Herman with over 20 years of photographs capturing intimate moments between her half brother Jonathan and their father.
- In Targeting Tesla: Scenes From Anti-Musk Protests, Reuters documents the recent protest against Elon Musk at Tesla dealerships around the world.
- Kate Mothes present over 180 images of Brutalist Suburbs and Public Buildings in 'Eastern Blocks II' from a new title by David Navarro and Martyna Sobecka. "Navarro and Sobecka's new book captures some of these stark scenes, with expansive residential units rising above bucolic meadows or framed by nothing but snow. Functionality takes precedence over aesthetics," she writes.
- LensCulture presents 25 winners of its New Visions Photography Awards. It "received thousands of entries from photographers in 150+ countries, including over 7,000 free submissions."
- Is Exposing to the Right Still Relevant? Jason Row wonders. "The test that I did was by no means scientific, so it is difficult to say if the dynamic range was improved, but given the editing required to bring up detail in the lighthouse, for both images, I would say the exposure technique, exposing to the right is still very much relevant in modern photography," he concludes.
- Monochrome Sensors Will Spoil You Mike Johnston promises. You'll be spoiled by "the lovely clarity and sharpness-without-harshness."
- In TKO Suzuki Leaves Ricoh, Johnston also reports the camera designer's decision to depart might be behind Ricoh's decision to pause its film camera program. "All we know is that both things have happened," he writes.
- Bryan Sheffield prices a contract for Restaurant and Retail Images at $16,090. "I put the Photographer's fees at $6,500 for the shoot and licensing of up to 15 images," he writes.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
