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 Alexandra Polina, a small camera, protecting your content, street photography tutorials and Joe McNally.
- Steindamm-Atlas features Alexandra Polina's images of her Hamburg neighborhood. "Everything exists side by side," she writes. "Asian restaurants, illegal prostitution, diamond sales, mosques, sex shops, a methadone clinic and smaller shops crowded with products from all over the world."
- Kirk Tuck tries A Smaller, Handier Camera after watching a documentary about Robert Frank. He set his Leica CL with a Carl Zeiss 28mm for black-and-white captures and pretended it was a Leica IIIf.
- In Protecting Your Content in the Age of AI, Paul Melcher looks at six methods to protect visual content from malicious manipulation. "None of these solutions provide a perfect out-of-the-box fix and their appropriateness depends on specific requirements," he concludes. "However, the issue of image manipulation and consequent erosion of trust is only going to intensify, making the implementation of a solution more urgent."
- Jasenka Grujin details Seven Cool Tutorials on Street Photography "that will bring your street photography to the next level."
- In Farewell, Tony, Joe McNally remembers a few sessions with him, including one in San Francisco where he shot Bennett and his wife at the Golden Gate Bridge. "Tony and Susan were deeply in love, and devoted to each other. I asked them to hug, and I shot quite a number of frames. Tony looked over and winked. 'Keep shooting, Joe, this isn't hard work.'"
