- In Plastic Paradise, photographer and film-maker Sean Gallagher documents "the increasing tide of rubbish washing up on beaches and riverbanks and the people facing the monumental challenge of cleaning up."
- In A Skydiver Appears to Fall From the Sun in a Stunning Image, Grace Ebert presents an image created by skydiver Gabriel C. Brown and astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy. The composited image titled The Fall of Icarus is available as a limited-edition print.
