Profane and the Sacred by Kevin Wolf
Profane and the Sacred by Kevin Wolf

Happy Friday everyone! This week we have the not-so-happy breakup of the Corcoran, a video about a National Geographic archivist, the Leica Store DC’s latest winner, and much more. Enjoy!

  • Local photographer Jim Darling photographed the home of the founders of Sweetgreen for GQ.
  • A legal dispute over a photo taken by Maxwell Jackson and used by The Color Run was disputed, and finally settled without going to court. Lesson for everyone, have a contract whenever you license your images.
  • Photography from Ben Shahn & Marion Post Wolcott of African Americans living in Appalachia.
  • If you haven’t seen the Faces of Olympic Figure Skating yet, some of the looks are priceless.
  • The Leica Store DC announced their March Oskar Barnak Wall winner.
  • “Mainardis estimates that Getty lay down some 22 kilometers of ethernet cable so that most of its 37 photographers could be directly wired in.” Gizmodo breaks down the Olympic effort it takes to produce great images at the Games.
  • Dado Ruvic, a Reuters photographer, captured the abandoned Olympic venues in Sarajevo.
  • In case you missed it, the Corcoran is being taken over by GWU and the National Gallery of Art. Philip Kennicott is calling it “cultural euthanasia.”
  • National Geographic just released a very cool mini-documentary about their photograph archivist, Bill Bonner.
  • Incredible and horrendous images from the protests in the Ukraine. Be warned that many of those photos are not suitable for everyone.
  • Check out a sampling of astronaut Don Pettit’s photographs from space.
  • And finally, in tiger news, the Los Angeles Zoo will be hosting Snow Days this weekend. Their Sumatran tiger will have his pen transformed into a winter wonderland.
