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 National Geographic travel contest winners, a Tish Murtha retrospective, early Harley-Davidson photos, William Coupon, Apple's butterfly keys dissected and a net neutrality scoreboard.
- Alan Taylor presents the Winners of the 2018 National Geographic Travel Photographer of the Year Contest. Grand Prize went to awarded to Reiko Takahashi for her image of a humpback whale calf cavorting near Japan's Kumejima Island.
- In This Working Class Photographer Documented Her Community in Industrial England, Sarah Moroz reviews Tish Murtha's images of England's "communities crippled by ineffective government policies and bleak living conditions." Murtha, who died in 2013, is having a retrospective show in London organized by her daughter Ella.
- Harley-Davidson: The Early Years, Getty Foto dug up some images of the company's humble beginnings.
- Suzanne Sease talks to William Coupon about The Art of the Personal Project. Reflecting on the difference between shooting ordinary people and celebrities, Coupon observes, "A common person does not have that burden of trying to 'be someone.'" The common person is therefore "much more raw, much more spontaneous in spirit."
- In Apple Engineers Its Own Downfall With the Macbook Pro Keyboard, Kyle Wiens details the problems with Apple's first two iterations of its butterfly key design used in its current laptop lineup. "Butterfly 3.0, we're waiting for you," he writes.
