With the demise of Calumet Photo and their three local retail stores this month, we knew it was time to add a list of camera stores to our Local Resource Guide. There are still three camera stores in the District, and three in Northern Virginia. If you know of any we missed (especially in Maryland) let us know in the comments and we’ll add them.

Contest winners, new contests to enter, very sad tiger news (we warned you) and an amazing sports photo. Oh, and Cheese! We can’t forget the cheese.

  • The local camera store Pro Photo has reopened at a new location, 2000 Pennsylvania Ave. NW.
  • Exposed contest winner & regular contributor Chris Chen has an exhibit opening tonight at Wild Hand Workshop. Read his interview about the “Souvenir Shop” show which features photographs printed on portable media.
  • Arlington Magazine has an interesting story about the founder of the American Nazi party, along with some fascinating and frightening historical photos of Nazis in Arlington.
  • If you have ever wanted to travel to space, take a whirl around the 360 degree photo of the flight deck of the Space Shuttle Discovery. Be careful not to push the wrong button. If you like that one, Air & Space magazine has a few more to explore.
  • Speaking of space, this guy wins every “What’s in Your Bag” contest. Ever.
  • High on a hill was a lonely cheesmaker, Lay ee odl lay ee odl lay hee hoo. Reuters photographer Denis Balibouse documented a summer of cheese making by one family in the Alps.
  • Canon has announced their “Show Us Your City” contest. You could win some sweet, sweet printers.
  • The Chicago Sun-Times may have fired their photo staff, but that won’t stop them from making a profit off their work from the archives. Stay classy Sun-Times.
  • Manfrotto has launched a new line of photo bags.
  • NPPA has announced their Short Grant winners.
  • The first winner of the monthly Leica Store contest is John Ulaszek. We profiled Ulaszek’s work a few months ago.
  • A diverse list of 37 photographers you should be following on Instagram.
  • Stan Grossfield captured what is surely one of the best sports photos of the year this week.
  • In the saddest tiger news ever, the Sumatran tiger born at the London Zoo last month drowned. We are going to leave the Panda Cam right here. And this penguin photo.
