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 Gaza, Noah Kalina, Russell Newell, Rosie Brock, Snapseed and the European Union's AI Act.
- Reuters presents 18 photos of Gaza's Deepening Hunger Crisis. "Daily food gathering has become a deadly task for Gazans, with UNRWA estimating that more than 1,000 people have died while trying to receive food aid since May."
- Grace Ebert features Noah Kalina's Ambient Landscapes, a seres of ambient videos. "You can watch the clouds hover above Andes, New York, spend two hours observing a black walnut tree, or head down by the river, where, as he says, 'nothing happens.'"
- Russell Newell photographed the Peckham Estates in his teens. The images haven't been seen for 40 years. "My mother enrolled me in a photography project that ran a magazine called Schooling & Culture, which helped me create and publish my first photo essay -- about rastas in Peckham. That was when I learned how photography and writing could give me a voice," he says.
- In Soliloquy, Magali Duzant interviews Rosie Brock about redemption and disillusionment in the American South. "Comparing photography to the process of writing fiction, Brock weaves together an atmospheric tale with her mix of portraits and landscapes," she writes.
- David Nield reviews the recent update to Google's Snapseed on iOS. "While there aren't a massive number of new features, the interface has been given a significant overhaul, so it's an apt time to reintroduce Snapseed and its capabilities," he writes.
- In Aug. 2: The End of the AI Wild West ? Paul Melcher trumpets the European Union's AI Act for imposing "transparency and responsibility, aligning with pre-existing copyright law."
