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 Jane Goodall, a Manchester synagogue, humpback whales, Aiko Wakao Austin, the golden hour, GoPro and shipping for sale.
- The Associated Press is Remembering Jane Goodall in photos after the famed primatologist died at 91.
- Reuters presents 17 photos of the Mourning at Manchester Synagogue. An assailant drove a car into pedestrians and stabbed a security guard near a synagogue in England where worshippers were marking Yom Kippur, the holiest day on the Jewish calendar, British police said.
- Jem Cresswell spent five years documenting the southern hemisphere's humpback whales in the waters surrounding the Tonga Trench for his new book Giants.
- In What We Inherit, Magali Duzant reviews Aiko Wakao Austin's images inspired by her grandfather's scrapbook of photographs and her grandmother's kimonos. The result is "an intimate history of emotional tension and familial love and loss, through the layering of decorative Japanese textiles and family photographs."
- Dahlia Ambrose presents a few Truly Golden Shots captured at sunrise or sunset, the golden hour.
- In The Rise and Fall of GoPro, Mike Johnston reflects on the company's fate. "For one thing, if you live by YouTube, then you die by YouTube," he writes. He faults it for skipping the dashcam or doorbell-cam market while botching its pursuit of the drone market.
- A Reddit poster is fried when MPB offered him $0 for a Sony 70-200mm GM zoom "with extensive damage to the front element." It had been shipped intact. Regardless of what happened, the advice is sound: photograph what you ship and include the photo and a packing list. And make sure to ensure it. Which goes for any time you ship something of value.
