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 three photoessays from the Smithsonian, Rohingya refugees, black-and-white construction images, flowers into stone, making art books, Create Booklet 2 and a Skylum Luminar giveaway.
- Smithsonian Magazine has published The Dispossessed, three photo essays from people around the globe whose lives are being swept up by these powerful historic forces. In In The Other America, Erika P. Rodríguez explores how the aftermath of Hurricane Maria is reshaping her identity as a Puerto Rican and as an American. In The Resistance, Wayne Martin Belger casts his eye on people who have been marginalized or scorned, from protesters to rebels and other outsiders. In The Rescuers, Lucian Perkins travels to Le Chambon-sur-Lignon, a French town with the usual tradition of helping refugees find themselves.
