- To celebrate the lunar new year, Grace Lau will recreate a 19th-century Chinese portrait studio in a Southampton shopping center to make free Portraits in a Chinese Studio of passersby. The slide show presents her similar effort in 2005.
- In These Gorgeous Photos Capture Life Inside a Drop of Seawater, Jennie Rothenberg Gritz explores the macro images of Spanish wildlife photographer Angel Fitor. "I imagined each water droplet as an aquarium," he says.
- Kirk Tuck goes on A Quick Outing to Test a Theory. A friend claimed it is "almost impossible to photograph people in the street" without getting the "stink eye" just for carrying a camera.
