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 New York protests, a vintage car graveyard, Deutsche Börse Prize, Aviary, Soren Goldsmith, macro photography, Flashback ONE35 V2 and Ricoh GR Monochrome.
- Reuters presents 14 photos as Protesters Take to Streets After ICE Raids in New York. Protestors were demanding the release of migrants detained during ICE raids in Lower Manhattan.
- Martin Meissner photographs A Vintage Car Graveyard in Germany. "Michael Froehlich celebrated his 50th birthday in 2000 by buying 50 vintage cars, all manufactured the year he was born," he explains. "After removing the oil and pollutants, Froehlich parked them in a private forest near his home in western Germany to create a classic car graveyard."
- The Guardian showcases the Deutsche Börse Photography Prize Shortlist. "From retro images altered with AI to a blistering series on the state of women's prisons, this year's nominees for the prestigious £30,000 prize showcase their best work."
- Kate Mothes reviews Aviary, a new book of the work of more than 50 international fine art photographers who trained their lenses on a few of the 20,000 species of birds.
- Young Photographer Documents Disappearing Salt Marshes to Inspire Action features Soren Goldsmith, a 20-year-old photographer who has been named a National Geographic Young Explorer. He uses an "underwater amphibious camera trap" to photograph salt marsh ecosystems. "The salt marshes are very low elevation, practically at sea level," he says. "So the sea level rising only a little bit, like an inch, has a huge impact on that land. And as a result of this, salt marshes are being flooded more frequently and eroding more quickly than they can replenish."
- Jason Row explains How to Get Started in Macro Photography Without Spending a Cent. A reversing ring you can make out of a camera body cap. You can also buy one for under $20, though.
- Nilofer Khan looks at the $65 Flashback ONE35 V2 Camera which "blends the nostalgic charm of a vintage camera and the digital convenience of modern cameras." Sold out at the moment, though.
- In Ricoh GR Monochrome! Mike Johnston celebrates "the cheapest way yet to get a dedicated B&W-only camera." If you can wait until spring 2026.
