  • Next week, the National Cathedral hosts Seeing Deeper – they’re taking out the chairs, and the scaffolding will be gone, so you can feel (and photograph) a cathedral that looks “a lot like it would have during medieval times.”
  • Rest in peace, Concepcion Picciotto, and thanks to Biketripper for adding this great photo of her to our Flickr pool.
  • We told you about the National Park Service opening a position for a new Ansel Adams last December; now NPR interviews the agency about what the photographer will do. (The lucky person will be announced in a few months.)
  • Photographer Kevin Abosch just sold a photograph of an Irish potato for 1 million euros to an anonymous European businessman.
  • Finding Vivian Maier, the crowdsourced documentary about the street photographer whose work was unknown until hundreds of thousands of her photos were discovered a few years ago, is coming to Netflix on February 28.
  • This cat sticks his tongue out for concentration while taking his selfies.
  • To some, it was as if she had met a celebrity rock star. To others, this woman looked pretty terrified. In fact Robin Roy is one very eager supporter of U.S. Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
  • “A picture is worth a thousand words. The Soviet Photobook reminds us how many of those words can be lies, handsomely delivered” – an interesting review of this nine pound propoganda photobook by Exposed-alum Pat Padua.
  • When Electrolux closed its factory in a small Iowa town, residents learned how globalization is more than just a buzzword tossed about during presidential caucuses.
  • Renowned for her photographs of jazz and rock legends of the 1960s and 70s, Leni Sinclair has been announced as the Kresge Foundation’s Eminent Artist of 2016.
  • A Norwegian chain of Arctic islands is seeking to turn numbing cold and total winter darkness into a draw for visitors who usually only venture north for the midnight sun during fleeting summers.
  • From pinstriped suits to sporting successes – and life on the farm in wartime – images from the Bank of England’s photo vaults.
  • Photographer Corinne Botz takes us inside the bizarre world of simulated doctor-patient relationships.
  • The “Postcards from Home” project, run by Kotryna Ula Kiliulyte, features nine Glasgow-based artists’ photographs of their homeland, printed as actual postcards.
  • For more than 2,500 out-of-service New York City subway cars, the bottom of the Atlantic is the final destination after they were enlisted for the Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s artificial reef program.
  • A fashion photographer takes these clever subversive selfies (though the gif bits are a little creepy).
  • This adorable sloth tried to cross a road In Ecuador, but got stuck half way.
  • A wonderful gallery of the piglet saved from the snowstorm by a Chevy Chase family, and then adopted by the Poplar Spring Animal Sanctuary where he’s now a warm and snugly pig in a blanket.
