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 Players' Weekend, Reuters' day, Margate, Mars, Scott Rossi, six Kodak cameras and workouts for photographers.
- The Associated Press showcases images of the custom bats and cleats (and one chest protector) supporting charities from Players' Weekend in major league baseball.
- Reuters presents 20 Pictures of the Day for today.
- Jill Mead takes her camera Beside the Seaside at Margate to capture a day at the beach.
- Kate Mothes reports Falbreen on Mars Saw Some Bright Blue Skies. "On May 26, Perseverance used its Mastcam-Z camera to capture a 360-degree panorama of an area NASA calls Falbreen," she writes. "In one of the clearest panoramic photos taken on this mission, Perseverance illuminates a clear-ish day in a landscape that is often cloaked in rust-colored dust."
- In Dreams on the Dying Stone, Sophie Wright interviews Scott Rossi about his project about Imperial Valley in California. "The title for the project came from a Joy Harjo poem titled Invisible Fish," he says. "The line reads 'Then humans will come ashore and paint dreams on the dying stone.'"
- Nilofer Khan suggests Six Kodak Cameras Under $250 for anyone looking for "an affordable compact device."
- A Reddit poster asks about Physical Workouts for Photography. The suggestions include reducing a six-pound load, getting good shoes, yoga, stretching, a personal trainer, Indian clubs and kickboxing.
