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 Kennedy Center, Indonesian wildfires, the Bowness Photography Prize shortlist, Vincenzo Pagliuca and Peephole Cinema.
- The Associated Press photographs the Kennedy Center as fences go up around it. A judge is hearing arguments today about its fate but the comments seem to have nailed the real problem.
- Reuters presents 29 photos of Indonesia's Most Intense Wildfires in over a decade.
- The Guardian showcases 26 images from the Bowness Photography Prize shortlist. Tamara Dea took top honors for work that is "operatic and poetic: an opus that is the culmination of a sustained body of work evident not only in its conception and process but also in its exquisite execution and presentation."
- Kate Mothes reviews Vincenzo Pagliuca's book Bunker, published by Hartmann Books. The project presents images of a series of fortifications along Italy's remote northernmost border, built by the Fascists and which the military controlled until 1993.
- Dan Gentile writes, "The original Peephole Cinema was installed in 2013 by Laurie O’Brien outside the house she was living in at the time. It's since become something of an open secret, one of those quirky pieces of San Francisco counterculture that make the city feel like a living work of art." Douglas Zimmerman shot the accompanying photos.
