- Alan Taylor found 30 Weird, Wonderful Photos From Another Era. None of them in color.

- The BJP International Photography Award goes to Jack Latham for his series Parliament of Owls on Bohemia Grove, which explores the dangers of conspiracy theories and fake news.

- Polar///D Super 70 is Joshua Gross's eight-month rebuild of a Polaroid classic, turning it into "a functioning digital camera without significantly modifying it's outward appearance."
