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 Rarindra Prakarsa, Linda McCartney, Ian Berry, mirrorless drawbacks, the Vanguard Havana 48 backpack and Grant for the Web.
- These Cinematic Photographs Will Transport You to Magical Scenes of Rural Asia promises Benjamin Pineros. He talks to Indonesian photographer Rarindra Prakarsa about his workflow and technique used to create the evocative images.
- The Polaroids of Linda McCartney are a selection from the new book Linda McCartney. The Polaroid Diaries. The Taschen publication showcases hundreds of Polaroid snaps from the early '70s to the mid-90s.
- The English presents a set of black-and-white images by British Magnum photographer Ian Berry from his book The English, published in 1978.
- Will the Drawbacks Go Away? Thom Hogan asks. Drawbacks to mirrorless, that is. "Frankly, I see me (and you) as being the winners right now, not a specific technology," he concludes.
- In The Vanguard Havana 48 Photo Backpack Review, Derrick Story finds a bag that doesn't scream, "Lots of expensive equipment in here!" The Havana doesn't scream and costs just $103 with a camera pouch that resembles a fanny pack.
- Steven Melendez reports Mozilla and Creative Commons Want to Reimagine the Internet Without Ads, and They Have $100M to Do It. "The program, called Grant for the Web, will give roughly $20 million per year for five years to content sites, open source infrastructure developers and others building around Web Monetization, a proposed browser standard for micropayments," he writes.
