This week we have photographers looking back on working with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, a photographer’s packing list for Sochi, and a model cuddling with a tiger. Enjoy your Friday Links!

  • Zack Seckler’s aerial photographs of animals look like abstract art.
  • Photographer Jeff Cable shared his packing list for covering the Olympic Games in Sochi.
  • Three photographers reflect on photographing Phillip Seymour Hoffman for the New York Times.
  • If you are looking for some inspiration, The Sony World Photography Awards announced their short list. Colossal made a selection of their favorites for easy viewing.
  • “I recognize a philosophical juncture that once they were in the trash, ownership ceased.” Artist Paul-David Young used Molly Soda’s images to create an art exhibit, and is refusing to credit her.
  • A large animal has escaped from the Tokyo zoo!
  • Speaking of zoos, the National Zoo has released new images of the African Lion Cubs.
  • The National Portrait Gallery has a new exhibit showcasing images of Washington during the Civil War, called “Mr. Lincoln’s Washington: A Civil War Portfolio.”
  • And finally, in tiger news, Miranda Kerr got cozy with a tiger this week during New York Fashion Week.

This week we have cat photos from a true animal photography master, electric blue volcano images from Java, the photo inspiration behind a Grammy winning song, and a tiny Batman roaming across Texas.

  • Everyone with an Instagram account thinks they’re an expert, but here are lessons from Walter Chandoha, an actual cat photography master. This man has been photographing cats for 60 years, and even Grumpy Cat would be pleased with his work.
  • Air & Space Magazine announced the winners of their first annual photo contest.
  • Narciso Contreras, the photographer cut by the AP last week, spoke with PDN about what he saw as an unfair process.
  • Seniors in a German retirement community recreated famous movie scenes. Jack and Rose look as in love as ever.
  • They’re not tigers, but the newest lion cubs at the National Zoo are still pretty adorable.
  • Grammy winner Lorde gathered inspiration for her song “Royals” from a picture of from Kansas City Royals star George Brett. The photo originally appeared in a 1976 issue of National Geographic.
  • Johnson Press, a UK newspaper chain, let go of all of their photographers.
  • In Focus shared images of the snow storm that shut down the South this week.
  • The snow also reached the Outer Banks, and the two environments colliding is pretty fantastic.
  • Photographer Oliver Grunewalld has been capturing pictures of volcanoes that are straight out of a sci-fi flick. The fantastic blue glow comes from the combustion of sulfuric gases.
  • Hold the Alamo, a tiny batman is making his way across Texas. Photos by Remi Noel.
  • The New York Public Library held a #shelfie day on twitter, where readers shared photos of their favorite book shelves. #YOLO

Our links this week include a kitten photo shoot, Robert Capa’s color photographs, magical Edward Hopper inspired images, an opportunity to meet Bao Bao, and the Leica Store DC’s monthly photo winner. Dive right in, the water’s lovely!

  • Want to get up close and personal with giant panda cub Bao Bao? The National Zoo is hosting an Instameet, and you need to sign up by January 21.
  • The butterfly arm tattoo was his initial nomination, but when this guy took his kitten in for a formal portrait at J.C. Penney he won the hipster for life award.
  • D.C.’s own Pat Padua reviewed Brandon Stanton’s photo book Humans of New York.
  • The International Center of Photography in New York will be hosting an exhibit of Robert Capa’s color photographs.
  • Interesting interview with NASA’s chief photographer Bill Ingalls.
  • Giant grocery store wanted to welcome back Howard University students, but upset many with the photograph they chose. Perhaps if they went with a local photographer instead of stock this wouldn’t have happened.
  • The New York Portfolio Review is coming back for a second year.
  • If you are an Android fan, Lifehacker breaks down the best photo apps.
  • Ghosts of D.C. shared an old photo of a slave auction house in Alexandria this week. Additionally, the Library of Congress hosts a large collection of photographs of African Americans during the Civil War.
  • Speaking of old photos, the website WhatWasThere.com overlays photographs with the location where they were taken. You can even see the current street view with the old photo sliding in front of it.
  • Dreamy photographs inspired by Edward Hopper paintings, by Richard Tuschman.
  • Flak Photo, the online photo publication, is looking for submissions.
  • Photoshopping an image of Martin Luther King always seems like a bad idea, but using it to promote your twerking event is particularly bad. The event was cancelled.
  • The New York Times included large, lovely images with their list of “52 Places to Go in 2014”. The best news is that you can scroll down instead of clicking through.
  • The Leica Store DC announced the January winner for their Oskar Barnack Wall.
  • Slate shared Eugene Ellenberg’s series “In My Father’s House.” The work “deals with the concept of Ellenberg’s memory of his family and his method for trying to better understand their relationships, as well as attempting to understand exactly who they all are.”
  • The League of Reston Artists has a call for photographs, for a show at the Reston Chamber of Commerce.
  • Wired shared the story of Tama Dezso’s photography project in Romania. He has been documenting the crumbling infrastructure left behind after the fall of the Soviet Union.
  • Steve Winter’s book of tiger images, Tigers Forever, is being used to promote tiger conservation. There are shockingly only approximately 3,000 tigers left in the wild.

Around and around it goes. Have you visited Zoo Lights at the National Zoo? It’s basically a Twilight Zone zoo full of lit-up dinosaurs and creepy man-pandas trapped in snow globes, and yet pretty fun nevertheless. Photographer Marcos took some time practicing shortish long-exposures in front of the carousel, which seems a good enough reason for any of us to go. Zoo Lights is closed tonight, Christmas, and New Year’s Eve, but will otherwise be open 5 to 9 p.m. through January 1; admission is free.
