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 the Conway Library Photographic Collection, Joe McNally, monochromes, Amazon and loneliness.
- Lost Treasures and Ancient Ruins features images of the Middle East from the 1940s by British photographer Anthony Kesting. More of his images (and others) are available online in the Conway Library Photographic Collection.
- Joe McNally celebrates The Glitz of Vegas to the Great Outdoors. "The life of a photographer," he writes."Variety of places, people in front of your lens, you build a variety of skills to deploy."
- In Some Exquisite Shots to Get You Started With Monochromatic Photography, Dahlia Ambrose shares some limited palette images that are not black-and-white.
- In DPReview on Life Support, Thom Hogan came to bury the site but noticed it's still breathing after the April 10 shutdown date. He thinks it's still savable but not likely to be saved because Amazon doesn't know anything about publishing. "Good media always starts with good content. Which has to be defended constantly against erosion by other forces," he writes.
- To combat the loneliness pandemic of older adults, Kirk Tuck wonders about creating a local Social Connection. "I'm trying to figure out how we can use the blog to help readers all over the place make some local connections that would bring the same kind of benefits to other readers," he writes. "But my real intention today is to motivate VSL blog readers here to reach out locally and find like minded folks who might meet up occasionally for a bit of camaraderie and photo/knowledge sharing."
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
