Around The Horn
12 January 2017
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 Xyza Bacani, a voice-controlled editing demo, Hedi Slimane and Sal Soghoian.
- In Once 'Invisible,' She Now Photographs Other Domestic Workers, James Estrin presents 16 of Xyza Bacani's images of illegally trafficked workers in Hong Kong and New York. "People need us but they don't see us," Bacani, who worked as a domestic for seven years, says. "We exist to please them, to serve them, but they don't really see us as part of the society."
- Adobe has published a short video asking What if You Had an Intelligent Assistant for Photo Editing? to demonstrate "a first step toward a robust multimodal voice-based interface that allows Adobe's creative users to search and edit images in an easy and engaging way using Adobe mobile applications."
- In After Fashion, Hedi Slimane Turns to Photography Full Time, Matthew Schneier interviews the former Dior and Saint Laurent designer about the first of his series of black-and-white portrait portfolios.
- In App Extensions Are Not a Replacement for User Automation, automation guru Sal Soghoian asks why we can't have both. Soghoain's position at Apple was recently eliminated and a tribute to him will be held Jan. 27 at the Westin San Francisco in Millbrae, Calif.
