“Untitled” by Chris Suspect

This week we have a dancer in the streets of D.C., rulings on two very different court cases involving the rights of photographers, beautiful photographs that look like sculptures, and of course goats and tigers — though not living together as best friends because that would break the internet.

  • Baby Tigers! Endangered baby tigers born at the National Zoo! There is even a a tiger cam.
  • National Geographic announced the winners of their Traveler Photo Contest.
  • The Capital Weather Gang breaks down how to tell if storm images are real or fake.
  • Cool photo of Washington Ballet performer Sun Chong as part of Jordan Matter’s Dancers Among Us series.
  • What would we do without YouTube? A 1988 lecture titled, Heinecken Explains Heinecken, has been unearthed for our viewing pleasure. The self proclaimed Paraphotographer, Robert Heinecken, shares some insight on his work.
  • A judge in NY state has ruled that artist Arne Svenson did not violate the privacy of his neighbors when he photographed them in their apartments. This is in stark contrast to the recent French ruling that stated photographer Yan Morvan breached his subjects’ rights to control their own image. The implications of that ruling may make it extremely difficult for photographers to publish work in France.
  • NPR took home two of the three prizes for Outstanding Environmental Journalism from the Society of Environmental Journalism. Photography is so much better on the radio.
  • You have never seen waves look the way photographer Pierre Carreau makes them look. His images present like glass sculptures.
  • NASA has a huge collection of free e-books online. If you can forgive the terrible formatting, there are some gems to be found, like Exploring Space with a Camera. You can delve into the technical aspects of space camera technology, or just look at the photos.
  • Seventy-five years after the original printing, MOMA is republishing “Walker Evans: American Photographs” and producing a new exhibit. The BBC has a nice piece on the work.
  • Don’t let the use of the H word scare you away, because these are beautiful food photographs.
  • Goats in a Cemetery is a better summer blockbuster than Snakes on a Plane.
  • Fotoweek DC announced their 2013 contest. Reminder that you can always find events like this on our calendar.
