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 Moises Saman, the Mobile Photography Awards, FORMAT, Andrei Duman, Harold Davis, Goldilocks, Kase Wolverine filters and Rocky Nook camera guides.
- In The War Outside the Frame: 20 Years Photographing Iraq (gift article), photojournalist Moises Saman writes about seeing "the lines sometimes blur between victim, bystander and perpetrator" in an "an often incomprehensible web of 'what was really going on.'"
- The 12th annual Mobile Photography Awards winners and honorable mentions have been announced.
- Sarah Gilbert previews Contemporary Photography at FORMAT, a month-long photography festival of 27 exhibitions in Derby, U.K.
- Suzanne Sease features Ekoskeleton, the personal project of Andrei Duman. Under the stewardship of the Natural History Museum of San Diego and the University of California at Riverside and in partnership with Phase One, Alpa, SanDisk Professional and Zerene Stacker, Duman continues an extreme macrophotography series of insects against a black background.
- Harold Davis meditates on Life and Death in this composite of three photos. "This image came together when I saw how the shapes of life (the model) fit together with death (the skull) as a composition and the rest was just playing," he writes.
- In The Goldilocks Problem, Thom Hogan tells a modern fable about camera size based on age, hand size and lens size. "In order to have a Goldilocks solution, it seems, you need to know if Goldilocks is a world class weight lifter or petite cheerleader," he writes.
- Jason Row reviews Kase Wolverine Magnetic Circular Filters. The thin frames makes stacking them "more viable," he writes. The only mishap he experienced was when he put the Kase lens cap in his pocket and "a significant proportion of my loose change had attached itself to the cap."
- Rocky Nook has published all new Camera Guides with a 40 percent discount when you use the code WINTERGUIE at checkout. New titles cover the Canon R7 and R10, DJI Mavic Air 2/2S and the Fujifilm X series.
