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 pioneering female photographers, LaToya Ruby Frazier, Printastic and an Aperture issue in El Capitan.
- In Pioneering Female Photographers in Mexico, Evelyn Nieves reports on a new exhibit at Throckmorton Fine Art in New York City featuring the work of nine photographers in the early 20th century. Tina Modotti, Lola Alvarez Bravo, Kati Horna and Mariana Yampolsky have left us but Colette Urbajtel, Lourdes Almeida, Cristina Kahlo, Graciela Iturbide and Flor Garduño are still working today.
- 2015 MacArthur Fellow LaToya Ruby Frazier is a photographer and video artist capturing the consequences of postindustrial decline for marginalized communities and illustrating how photography can promote dialogue about historical change and social responsibility." She talks about her project and her motivation in this three-and-a-half minute clip:
- Rob DePaolo shows How To Print Beautiful iPhone Photo Books With Printastic. The app is free and DePaolo includes a 20 percent discount code in the story.
- In Turn Off Onscreen Proofing in Aperture on El Capitan, Derrick Story describes a workaround for the "first major bug" he's found using Aperture on El Capitan.
