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 Ian Macdonald, Landforms Project, Joe McNally, Victoria Sambunaris, Kari Medig, iconic locations, a Leica zoom lens, Lightroom plug-ins and Pocket Guides.

  • In Shipbuilding: Ian Macdonald's Teesside, Mee-Lai Stone presents the Middlesbrough photographer's black-and-white images along the River Tees. An exhibit of his work will run until April 30 at Flow Photographic Gallery.
  • In Landforms Project -- Create Your Legacy, Julieanne Kost writes about her decision to publish her favorite images of the last year "not only as a physical book using Lightroom Classic, but also as a Web page using CC Express, as well as three shorter projects to publish to Behance." Links included.
  • Joe McNally touts the allure of Lampshades, Tubs and Profoto Lighting i photographing "the ever-patient Amber Tutton."
  • Yancey Richardson Gallery is exhibiting High and Dry, an exhibition of new photograhs by Victoria Sambunaris. "Observing where the desert converges with spaces that are aesthetically and politically linked, including Death Valley, the Mojave Desert and the Great Basin Desert, the work questions traditional and clichéd notions of landscape, our place within it and our collective roles and responsibilities in shaping it." In the six-minute video below, Sambunaris talks about the project.

  • Heidi Volpe interviews Kari Medig on her project 1000s Words for Snow. "I've been working on it indirectly since my first ski assignment in Kashmir in 2007," she says. "It was only about seven years ago that I realized it was actually a cohesive body of work -- this motivated me to be more purposeful with my shooting, specifically for this project."
  • Dave Williams has some advice about shooting Iconic Locations. "Stand out from the crowd and defeat the influencers," he writes.
  • Kirk Tuck wanders around with an Expensive Leica Zoom Lens only to be confronted by "a hostile street person" who "demanded to see my credentials giving me the right to be out with a camera." He survived the encounter to put up a nice slide show.
  • Jasenka Grujin lists The 25 Best Lightroom Plug-ins that "make your photo editing experience a lot easier because these useful programs can help you save a lot of time during your editing routine." Some of them are, like Exposure X7, a standalone alternative while others are single-purpose tools.
  • Rocky Nook is offering 40 percent discounts on its Pocket Guides when you use the code POCKET40 at checkout.

More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
