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 Irving Penn, Tara Todras-Whitehill, black-and-white color, three prime lenses and an ON1 sale.
- Rachel Syme presents An Irving Penn Portrait for the Coldest Days of Winter. It's a studio shot of the Arctic explorer Peter Freuchen and his third wife, Dagmar. He's the one wearing the fur.
- Tara Todras-Whitehill illustrates her story about Women Seeking Abortions in South Africa with a set of powerful images showing the effect of recent U.S. policy to block "funds to any foreign nongovernmental organization that provides abortion-related services."
- Harold Davis asks, Can You See Color in Black & White? "Since I made these photos, I know what the colors of the subject are. But to a hands-off viewer, are the imputed colors accurate?" he wonders.
- In A Quickie Lens Review of Two or Three Lenses, Kirk Tuck describes what he likes about recent 50mm, 55mm and 90mm prime lenses he's acquired.
- ON1 is having a Photo Raw 2019.2 Kick Off Sale of $69.99 (regularly $99.99) with a 30-day money-back guarantee.
