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 Lebanon, RPS winners, feral fruit, Lee Miller, Cynthia Katz, AP photographers and Kyoto.
- The Associated Press photographs Christian Landmarks in Lebanon ahead of Pope Leo XIV's visit. "From Mount Lebanon's peaks to the coastal plain, ancient sites sit beside modern life, reflecting a landscape shaped by centuries of Christian presence," Hassan Ammar writes.
- Sarah Gilbert presents a gallery of the Royal Photographic Society Award Winners, listed previously.
- In 'Some Interesting Apples' Delves Into the World of Feral Fruit, Kate Mothes looks at Cornwall-based artists William Arnold and James Fergusson and their project about the 600 varieties of wild apples they've documented.
- In Lee Miller's Secret Lives Made It Hard for Her to Be My Mum, Antony Penrose talks about being the child of a famous mother. "He saw her as a cruel alcoholic during much of his childhood. It wasn't until she died that he discovered how extraordinary she was."
- In Almost Gone -- Rescuing Fragments of Failed Artworks to Make Art Anew, Cynthia Katz transforms fragments of "failed" images into new works. "The segments of images in these pieces were selected from a box of failures to be torn-up or thrown into a fire," she writes. "But being the recycler I am, I couldn't let go of the parts I liked and began to cutout fragments, transforming what was 'trash' into curated compositions"
- Trump Welcomes AP's Photographers Its Reporters? Not So Much (gift link). The administration has restored frontline access for Associated Press photographers, even as it often excludes Associated Press's reporters from press pool events. Apparently news organizations should see but not hear.
- Harold Davis pens Two Haiku for Kyoto in Autumn, one about his monochrome camera. There's also a colorful image of a Japanese maple.
