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 the week, new marine species, David Johnson, Josef Koudelka, colorizing and two Epson excerpts.
- The Associated Press has published its Week in Pictures: Global curated by AP photo editor Anita Baca in Mexico City.
- Grace Ebert features images of New Marine Species in the Underwater Mountain Ecosystems of the Pacific Ocean gathered from remote-operated vehicles by researchers off Chile's coast. "During a recent 40-day expedition, an international team of scientists discovered that the area is home to 160 species not known to live in the region, 50 of which are thought to be entirely new to researchers," she writes.
- In The Photographer Who Captured Black San Francisco in the 1960s, Dani Anguiano profiles David Johnson, the first Black student of Ansel Adams who documented the city's Black community. "His work centered people -- a couple dancing close in a juke joint, men chatting outside a record shop and, in one of his favorite photos, a little boy in a cap sitting on steps," she writes.
- In Shadow Selfie, Harold Davis reflects on Josef Koudelka after reading Melissa Harris's biography, in which, he points out, you can't see the photos "because they are reproduced basically in postage-stamp size."
- In Colorizing My Past Work, Kirk Tuck continues his experiments with Photoshop's neural Colorize filter which, he writes, "seems to have a very limited repertoire for lip color, a very pleasing but narrow palette for skin/tone skin color and a tendency in an open air scene such as this to push blue tones into the background."
- Kevin Raber has excerpted two parts of Mark Segal's recent review of the Epson P5370: Espon Media Installer and Epson Print Layout.
