It may have been a short work week, but we have lots of great links for you today. We have the work of two war photographers, discounted Adobe products, exploration of a Virginia island by a pair of local photographers, technological photography advances from the early 1900’s, and a possible step backwards technologically. We will let you decide that one.
- Famed war photographer Don McCullin shared some of his thoughts and images with The Telegraph.
- You will never get this reaction with via instant replay. Probably one of the funniest foul ball photos of all time.
- Adobe announced a discounted introduction to their new Creative Cloud for photographers for only $9.99 per month. Users who buy in before the end of the year will be able to lock in that price.
- Kodak is officially no longer a consumer photography company. We imagine Paul Simon is crying in a corner somewhere with his last box of Kodachrome.
- The view inside the Maryland Statehouse dome is rarely seen by the public, so a Baltimore Sun photographer documented it for everyone’s benefit.
- The Washington Post shared the story of another war photographer, Goran Tomasevic, about his recent work in Syria.
- In Focus has a collection of the winners of the Red Bull Illume Photo Contest. This snowboarding photo particularly caught our attention, but they are all jaw dropping.
- Guns and Fine Art Dog Photography. With a title like that, who needs an explanation.
- Do you rent photo equipment from Calumet? If so, you can take an image of your gear in action, share it on Instagram, and possibly win $250 in free rental gear.
- Ghosts of DC has a photo of Blagden Alley from 1923. The alley is located behind the current location of Long View Gallery, where we have held our Exposed photo exhibit for the last few years.
- A nice collection of images from regular contributors John Ulaszek and Chris Suspect of Tangier Island, VA.
- No kids, this is not a joke. Someone is trying to fund a project that would make a smartphone photo enlarger. No comment.
- Interested in real technological advancement? Photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky was making color images of the Russian Empire one hundred years ago.
- If you don’t want to be seen looking like the village idiot, don’t smile like the village idiot. In what is being called censorship, Agence France Presse killed a photo of French President Francois Hollande making a silly face to French schoolchildren.
- Ayu, a two year old Sumatran tiger has returned to her home at a zoo in Indonesia after surviving a poisoning attack. Another tiger and two lions were not as lucky, and died from the poisoning.
