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 Dzesika Devic, Margaret Renkl, Pedro Guimarães, an animated chart, more strange things said and the M2 Mac mini.

  • Still Life features the color images of Dzesika Devic. "Everything in her pictures of abandoned landscapes is left to chance; they read like a diary of her own life and speak of the beauty of the mundane."
  • In You're Pointing Your Camera the Wrong Way, Margaret Renkl suggests selfie shooters should take a clue from Dorothea Lange and turn their cameras around "and let them teach us to see."
  • In Rato, Tesoura, Pistola, Sophie Wright reviews Pedro Guimarães's collaboration on a family album with his two kids. "Named after a game -- which translates to 'Mouse Scissors Gun' in English -- the book is an ensemble creation by three family members: the outcome of a summer spent in a camper van by the beach, playing each and every day, stopping only to eat and cook," she writes.
  • James Eagle concocted an animated chart to show The Smartphone Effect on the Camera Market. Wait until the end to see it all in perspective. Assuming the earliest data is accurate (it does seem low).
  • Thom Hogan takes on three more confusions in Strange Things Said XXII.
  • In Whatever You Want It to Be, Dan Moren reviews the M2 Mac mini as ""a mid-range Mac desktop that's aimed at what you might have once called the prosumer market."

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