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 America, Google Photos, products of the year and public libraries.
- "The best images taken in 2022 by Associated Press photographers in Latin America and the Caribbean revealed the reality of migration, poverty and violence, but they also showcased the region's intense, vibrant and colorful daily life," the editors write.
- Everyone Is Using Google Photos Wrong, Matt Burgess argues after deleting 16,774 photos and videos (manually) from his account. "Huge swaths of my life were stored in my photos," he writes. "I didn’t know they were there or had forgotten about them as soon as they weren’t useful."
- Thom Hogan asks, Is There Any Usefulness in 'Camera of the Year?' He's particularly peeved at contests to name the most popular products during the peak buying season. We've occasionally played the game to applaud ground-breaking technology, though. In which case, there's not a winner every year.
- In praise of Public Libraries, Moira Donegan writes, "The public library makes a proposition that's still radical: that learning, knowledge and curiosity are for everyone and that the annals of history, literature, science and art might not be just an indulgence of the privileged, but an entitlement of citizenship." We use and love our public library both in person and online. [Outright prolonged applause]
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
