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 Dimpy Bhalotia, street photography, camera size, Nikon Peru, AI or Not and calibrating HDMI displays.
- Dimpy Bhalotia travelled over 27,000km exploring India in A Journey of Love, Hope, and Freedom.

A Thunderbolt or Display Port connection is recommended over HDMI.
