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 Photo Basel, the Pentax Monochrome, a Lego Ansel Adams, inspiration, M2 Ultra Mac Studio reviews and FotoAutomat.
- The Guardian presents the best of this year's Photo Basel fom bare bottoms in daisy fields to Nan Goldin's games of Monopoly.
- Derrick Story takes the Pentax Monochrome to the Pacific Coast Air Museum "to capture the spirit of the 1960s and '70s when many of these aircraft were in service." He also shot color with his iPhone Pro Max but found that, compared to the color images converted in post, "the Pentax images looked more natural, more like Kodak Plus-X from a film camera."
- LobsterThermidor has concocted a Lego idea called The Landscape Photographer featuring foliage native to Yosemite National Park with a photographer standing on top a woody station wagon with an 8x10 view camera:
- Dave Williams explores Photographic Inspiration in his latest weekly column. "Embrace the unknown, absorb the wisdom of the greats, engage with the culture of your surroundings, seek out the magnificence of nature and constantly push the limits of your trade," he writes.
- Andrew Cunningham reviews the M2 Ultra Mac Studio. "If the M2 Ultra version is a Mac Pro replacement, the M2 Max version is more like the old 27-inch iMac -- not Apple's best or most powerful desktop but one with more than enough power for most creative work," he writes. Jason Snell also reviews the M2 Ultra Mac Studio, calling it Top of the Line.
- Since 2007, FotoAutomat has been restoring and maintaining the last original analog photobooths in Paris, Nantes and Prague, where they are placed mainly in spaces dedicated to art and culture.
