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 walls, Helen Levitt, Evelyn Hofer, a $38K bid and the home office deduction.
- In Built to Separate: Border Barriers Around the World, Alan Taylor collects 30 images of walls around the world. He quotes Uri Friedman, "Of the 51 fortified boundaries built between countries since the end of World War II, around half were constructed between 2000 and 2014."
- Helen Levitt's Street Photos Blend the Poetic With the Political writes Rean Silverman as she reviews the photographer's current retrospective in Vienna.
- In Moments of Splendor and Repose in Evelyn Hofer's New York, Miss Rosen explores the work of the German-born photographer who died in 2009 now available in a Steidl title. "Hofer's photographs are potent portals into the past, into a place and time that you recognize the moment you look," she writes.
- In Pricing & Negotiating: Pet and Vet Portraits for a Pharmaceutical Company, Craig Oppenheimer comes up with a $38K bid for a large pharmaceutical company that wanted six images to use in perpetuity. And it was accepted.
- Carolyn Wright explains the two basic requirements for Home Office Deductions for Your Home Business and how to calculate the deduction.
