Around The Horn

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 Latin American photography, the ticker-tape parade, Sinziana Velicescu, Susan Wright, underwater photography, a Nikon D700, color management and preserving laptop stickers.
- The Guardian has published a selection of Award-Winning Latin American Photography from the Latin American Foto festival at the Bronx Documentary Center.
- Alan Taylor presents 28 Photos of the 2019 Women's World Cup Champions Victory Ticker-Tape Parade. There was champagne for the champs as they passed by construction workers waving American flags and young fans with flags drawn on their faces.
- Los Angeles photographer Sinziana Velicescu is attracted to Trees Growing in Unusual Places. "There is a disturbing quality to the photographs though, as if the plants are asking for help or to be moved from their locations," she says.
- Susan Wright's (perspective corrected) photos grace Laura Rysman's 36 Hours in Naples, Italy. Frankly, we just looked at the pictures, which include a stunning interior of the cathedral and a tempting olive and anchovy pizza.
- Brett Stanley discusses the unique issues involved in Underwater Photography like communicating with your model and the effect on artificial lighting. And the photos aren't bad either.
- In Backyard Photography With a Nikon D700 and 100mm Series E Lens, Derrick Story explains he got the D700 to complement his 35mm film Nikon shots using the same lens, presumably for the Exif data. "You might be amused that I still shoot with a camera of this era. But all of these devices are like paint brushes to me, each with their own characteristic," he adds.
- The Color Management discussion on Macintouch includes excellent tidbits from Datacolor's David Miller, photographer Tracy Valleau and Thom Hogan covering a wide range of topics from creating profiles to wide gamut monitors and much in between.
- Graham Stevens has a clever idea for Preserving Laptop Stickers on MacBooks. He first applies color-matched vehicle wrapping to the laptop and then the stickers. The wrapping can subsequently be removed, mounted and framed as an ode to another era.
