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 the fallen, a Venezuelan mother, Pyramiden, cable wakeboarding and Flickr.
- In Faces of the Fallen, Reuters presents portraits of U.S. service members killed in the Iran war.
- Colombian photojournalist Ariana Cubillos photographed Carolina Munoz Praying as she searched for the body of her son, Carlos Munoz, in the debris of a building collapsed by the earthquake in La Guaira, Venezuela. "I decided to take the photo because I saw that this moment reflected the anguish and helplessness of many families experiencing the same thing, searching through 12 collapsed floors of the apartment building where their relatives lived," she writes.
- Grace Ebert features French photographer Damien Aubin's photos of A Former Soviet Mining Settlement. "Because Pyramiden was abandoned in a cold climate, it remains impeccably preserved, with remnants of its once-thriving settlement still visible," she writes.
- In Explore and Ye Shall Find, Mike Johnston writes, "Barely more than a few hundred yards from the Chipotle [where he had just eaten] I came across something I had never seen before. It's a cable park, where they do something called cable wakeboarding."
- In Keeping Flickr Safe: Our Inactive Account Policy, the company details its policy to remove "free accounts that have been inactive for at least 90 days and contain no photos, no comments, no favorites and no group activity" as a security measure.
