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 Eurovision, Baldwin Lee, Waterworks, Lee Miller and more on the wrong camera.
- Martin Meissner shoots the first round of the semi-finals of the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland.
- In A Husband and Wife Kiss in a Doorway, Chris Broughton interviews Baldwin Lee about his series of 4x5 photographs of the couple. "I saw the woman in her yard, began a conversation and took several pictures of her outside, then asked if she would mind if I also photographed her inside," he says. "She invited me into her house and her husband was there. I asked them to stand next to each other in that doorway, then I asked them to kiss."
- Suzanne Sease feature Waterworks, the personal project of Stanley Greenberg. The book, which explores New York City's water supply and wastewater treatment systems, was originally published in 2003. "This new and expanded edition is a complete reworking of the book, featuring 362 photographs, made between 1992 and 2024, and two new large, folded insert maps," she writes.
- In Lee Miller 'Buried' Frontline War Experiences, Lanre Bakare previews unseen photographs from Miller’s time in St-Malo, France, and various sites in Germany, which are being shown at the 10th edition of Photo London. Kerry Negahban, the head of senior rights and publishing at the Lee Miller archive, said, "She suffered with PTSD, and was very, very depressed after the war, and then she had a child, and had postnatal depression as well. So I think she was probably as low as someone could be. She didn't really even tell her husband much about what she'd seen and done."
- In Q&A on 'The Wrong Camera', Mike Johnston addresses a few issues readers brought up after his recent "musings about consistency and having the wrong camera with you."
