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 refugee stories, Eugene Richards, frat life, the Nikon Z7 and Z 24-70/4, production questions, Google Images and a Backblaze warning.
- Refugees and Migrants Tell Their Own Stories Through Photographs that, Sara Aridi writes, distinguish themselves from other migration stories "for what it lacks: images of suffering."
- Marigold Warner reviews Eugene Richards: The Run-On of Time, which opened this week at the International Center of Photography in New York.
- In Hoods, Hazing, and Heavy Drinking, Rosa Furneaux looks at photographer Andrew Moisey's pictures over seven years of life at a frat house 18 years after he took them. The behavior he observed frequently appalled him. "If people want to know where men get the idea that they can behave like this, my book provides them with one source.," he says. The photos, a selection of which appear in the story, have been collected in the recently-published The American Fraternity: An Illustrated Ritual Manual.
- Ming Thein reviews the Nikon Z7 and Z 24-70/4. "Nikon's effort feels like a D850 and an E-M1.2 met in a bar and had an illegitimate child," he writes.
- Kirk Tuck answers some Production Questions about shooting corporate events. At length.
- Paul Sawers reports Google Images Will Now Display Creator and Copyright Metadata. "The Internet giant has revealed that it will now include creator and credit metadata in photos it displays on Google Images and in the coming weeks it will add copyright notice metadata, meaning visitors can see with a couple of clicks who the photographer was and who owns the rights."
- In Upgrading to Mojave? Read This First, Backblaze has a warning about the effect of Apple's privacy and security changes on the way its software behaves.
