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 (with more than 140 characters). This time we look at 100-year-old color process autochromes, graduation day, Edward S. Curtis's Southwest today and a Google Photos experience.
- The Telegraph has published Etheldreda Laing: portraits from a pioneering photographer, a set of 100-year-old color process autochromes, many showing her two daughters, now in the National Media Museum.
- In When I'm a Dad, Not a Photographer, Derrick Story reflects on being present instead of invisible while his two sons graduate from high school. And shares a nice portrait of him and one son taken by an anonymous fan at Oracle Arena at Game 1 of the NBA Finals.
- John O'Conner visits Photographer Edward S. Curtis's Southwest, updating classic Curtis with a few shots of his own in the 11-image slide show.
- In Upload the Pictures, and Let Google Photos Do the Rest, E. Justin Swanson uploads 8,000 of his wife's photos. "The initial draw for Google Photos is probably going to be all that storage," he muses. "But don't be surprised when the search power and the sweet personal touches of the Assistant keep you coming back again and again."
