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 AP's Week in Pictures, India, Lisa Murray, the TArtisan 90mm f1.25, a mystery portrait, ecosystems, a chemical photography reference collection and business relationships.
- The Associated Press presents its Week in Pictures for last week curated by AP photo editor Eloy Martin in Spain. They include photos of young Sikhs lighting candles at the illuminated Golden Temple in India, a Christmas Market in Frankfurt and demonstrations on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women.
- India is the Leica Gallery Paris's first exhibition of travel photographs by fashion photographer Paolo Roversi, which he took in India between 1989 and 1991. "My intention was to show an India that is very sweet and smiley; not an India that is very desperate and destroyed by poverty," he says.
- In For Parts Not Working, Sophie Wright spotlights the photographs Lisa Murray made "after getting the 'all clear' from her cancer diagnosis." Murray tells her, "Most of my series work was created struggling to see my screen through all the tears!"
- Kirk Tuck takes the $500 TTArtisan 90mm f1.25 for a walk with his Fujifilm GFX50S II.
- Mike Johnston tells the story of this Mystery Couple depicted in an old studio portrait.
- In A Hint About the Future, Thom Hogan sees Sony's custom gridlines illustrates the concept of building a platform "that enables an ecosystem" to which others contribute, making the platform more attractive.
- In The Mysteries of Early Photography, Sarah Hoenicke Flores looks at the Getty Conservation Institute's effort to compile "a chemical photography reference collection, researched and published on the major historical chemical photographic processes and their variants and studied examples of the processes in collections around the world." There are a couple of hundred processes.
- In More on Lawyer/Client Relationships, Greenberg and Reznicki continue their advice for being a good client, which applies not only to the legal profession. And not only to client relationships, come to think of it (we're thinking of employer/employee relationships).
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look five years back. And please support our efforts...
