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 Rosalynn Carter, Florence Iff, Vital Impacts, FujiXweekly, Aperture libraries, Trails Magazine and bad clients.
- Michael Williams compiles a photo tribute to Rosalynn Carter, the former first lady, who passed away Sunday at the age of 96.
- In Days of Future Passed, Marigold Warner presents the photo collages of Swiss photographer Florence Iff. "I've been aware of [climate change] for 40 years and the only way you can help yourself is by being creative and active, that's the only hope -- the only way to mentally survive this catastrophe," Iff says.
- Grace Ebert reports 100 photographers have contributed images to the Vital Impacts Print Sale supporting elephant conservation. She also features a few of the images available for sale.
- Kirk Tuck tries FujiXweekly, a free app that "gives you literally hundreds of 'recipes' for setting your Fujifilm camera so that it works just like your favorite film in your favorite camera."
- In The Rescue Mission, Derrick Story discovers Aperture libraries of images taken 20 years ago can't be opened on modern systems. So he dusted off a 2001 15-inch PowerBook G4 to launch Aperture and export the images. He tells a shorter version of the adventure in Bad News Backup. Our oldest digital files go back to 1980 (43 years ago) but we store them as individual files accessible at the operating system level.
- Heidi Volpe interviews Ryan Wichelns about Trails Magazine. Sarah Attar is the cover photographer.
- Greenberg and Reznicki give seven examples of how to deal with a bad client in When Silence Is Golden. "There's a little known fact that legitimate attorneys turn down more potential cases than the public knows," they write. Should go for photographers, too, we think. For the same seven reasons.
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
