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 fake images, a missed departure, the Annapolis Cup and Petros Giannakouris.
- In It Never Happened, Jonathan Freedland presents 28 fake images that fooled the world. And no, they're not all AI generated. "It turns out people have been doctoring photos, manipulating and meddling, from the start," he writes. (Somehow John Knoll's Jennifer in Paradise made the list.)
- Grace Holliday features Reflections of a Missed Departure, Nima Bank's best phone picture.

Was it a loss or a redirection toward something else?" he writes.
- In The Lawn Giveth and the Lawn Taketh Away, Tyrone Turner features photos from the 41st Annapolis Cup. That would be the annual match between the croquet teams from St. John's College and the neighboring U.S. Naval Academy.
- Associated Press photographer Petros Giannakouris explains how he photographed Father Spyridon, a monk who has been living in the Monastery of Panagia Hozoviotissa for the past 54 years. "It's a photo with beautiful light, multiple layers and a strong sense of depth -- all elements that enhance a photograph and keep the viewer engaged," he writes. "And above all, the image has life -- Father Spyridon walking through the courtyard brings movement and a human presence."
