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 Pictures of the Week, Sierra blizzard, Kurdish women, Black rodeo culture, Russell Brown, video, full-frame 25mm lenses and the M3 MacBook Airs.
