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 Jana Sophia Nolle, Robert Rieger, light placement, the Fujifilm GFX 100S, nightmares, the Great British Photography Challenge and Twitter's AI cropping tool.
- In Present and Past: Burma's Democratic Transition, Jana Sophia Nolle talks about the situation in Myanmar. "The brutal violence of the military junta and the police represents a catastrophic step backwards for the country and the population is traumatised, once again," she says. She photographed a difference country five years ago.
- In An Enchanting Portrait of the Contemporary Woman, Devid Gualandris spotlights German photographer Robert Rieger's editorial series for Italian fashion brand Emil. "Shot in an idyllic natural setting next to the brand's headquarters in the north of Italy, the collection of images is a meditation on the female form and its beauty," he writes.

- Derrick Story takes a Fujifilm GFX 100S with two lenses on assignment in San Jose. "Between the large sensor size, image stabilization, primo prime lens and Fujifilm technology, I had a huge safety net that let me focus on the compositions and subject and not really concern myself with camera settings," he writes.
