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 Alabama, the Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant, Summit Journal, a subversive metaphoto, Capture One Express, the gift of a camera and Luminous Landscape.
- At the invitation of a friend, Fumi Nagasaka became A Japanese Photographer in Alabama where the people she met surprised her. The Guardian has published a selection of images from the photo book Dora, Yerkwood, Walker County, Alabama the resulted.
- Matt Fidler reprises the winners gallery for the Ian Parry Photojournalism Grant published Oct. 24 "after a revision to the list of winners."
- Heidi Volpe talks to editor Michael Levy about Summit Journal. "So what I loved about the idea of resurrecting Summit was being able to draw a straight line from Royal Robbins, Yvon Chouinard, Doug Robinson -- all legends from the Golden Age of Yosemite Climbing who were involved with or wrote for the magazine -- to today," he says. Print only.
- Harold Davis explains what he means by a Subversive Metaphoto and gives a nice example, too.
- A Reddit poster was notified by email from Capture One informing them Express Is Coming to an End. "You won't be able to download and access Express from our Web site after Jan. 30. If you already own an Express license key, you'll no longer be able to activate this."
- In A Camera Is for Life Not Just for Christmas, Jason Row tells a cute story about getting a camera for Christmas. "You haven't been this excited for Christmas since you were 9 years old, this, however, is not a train set, it's your hobby for life, perhaps a future career," he writes.
- In Changing Tides, Passing the Torch!, Josh Reichmann announces his intention "to gracefully step back from The Luminous Landscape, the photographic resource and community that has been a beacon for over 24 years." But he isn't closing the site. "If you're wondering if the site will retain it's focus on digital photography techniques, landscape-centric work, tech and community -- it will!"
More to come! Meanwhile, here's a look back. And please support our efforts...
