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 Michael Shaw, the World Tango Championships, Todd Weaver, Stephen Wilkes and bird photographs.
- In The Machinery of American Cruelty, Michael Shaw analyzes "how photographers are documenting the Trump administration's campaign of terror against immigrant communities." He writes, "The photographers have captured the human cost with devastating intimacy. Thugs hiding behind masks have become the face of American authoritarianism, not just harassing, but wrecking the lives of family members and fellow citizens."
- Natacha Pisarenko and Rodrigo Abd take their cameras behind the scenes at Argentina's World Tango Championships.
- In Catch a Break: Surf Adventures, Todd Weaver uses a half-frame film camera and pre-exposure to create "the world's shortest movies" of two frames.
- Suzanne Sease features Day to Night, the personal project of Stephen Wilkes, "a 14 year personal journey to capture fundamental elements of our world through the hourglass of a single day." He takes as many as 1,500 images from a fixed location during the day, picks the best and blends them into a single photo. "Photographing a single place for up to 36 hours becomes a meditation," he says.
- Dahlia Ambrose presents 23 Bird Photographs that were "shot with a good understanding of light."
