- The New York Times feature Still Lives presents the work of 15 photographers during the pandemic.
- In Zaido: The Ancient Japanese Ritual to Bring Good Luck, Yukari Chikura traveled to a remote village to document the 1,300 year old ceremony. Steidl has published a book of the images.
- Covid Killed the Atlanta Drug Trade and the photographer Willis captured the lull (which did not last). Jamilah King reports the images of the 36-year-old Navy reservist and art student who lives in Marietta "range from day-glo glimpses of strip clubs to resolutely matter-of-fact portraits of neighborhood drug corners, each photo accompanied by an archly oblique caption."
- Kevin Raber has posted the nearly two-hour Meet the PhotoPXL Team video from his Zoom session on July 30. He's added a timeline so you can jump to your favorite personality.
