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 Roxie, Rania Matar, Themba Hadebe, Harold Davis and Nikon dSLR/Nikkor production.
- Junyao Yang tours The Roxie, a San Fracisco movie theater that opened in 1913 (what was playing then?) and is now trying to fundraise $7 million to buy the historic building it's been renting all this time. "It's already most of the way there, with $1.4 million left to go," she writes. Meanwhile she took a few photos inside the historic theater.
- Photographer Rania Matar found inspiration for her project Where Do I Go? in the Lebanon's women. "Instead of focusing on destruction, I chose to focus on their majestic presence, their creativity, strength, dignity and resilience," she says.
- Themba Hadebe used Deliberate Blurring to bring an amusement park ride to life. "For me, the facial expressions, the excitement and a blurred movement make the image," he says.
- In Power to the Poppy, Harold Davis celebrates the first poppies blooming in his new garden.

"With the tariff situation placing new challenges on the camera companies, it looks like Nikon has started weeding out their product line more aggressively to just those that they want to sell in the future.
