  • In the wake of recent bystander recordings seen in the news, the Washington Post has put together a short video primer on what you need to know about recording the police.
  • “For the few foreign journalists who have had repeated access to the North, the views from the window become vital, offering counterpoints to the cascade of officially arranged scenes.” Six days in North Korea – photographs and video by David Guttenfelder.
  • Polaroid’s new ZIP instant printer gets high marks, fits in your pocket, and costs $129 on Amazon plus $25 for each pack of 50 photo sheets. Consider mine purchased.
  • Out of context you might be unsure of exactly what you’re looking at when you first see the images in Roland Fischer’s series “Facades.” They could be tiles or fabric patterns or perhaps optical illusions.
  • D.C. photographer Andy DelGuidice reminisces about what hooked him on cheap color film.
  • “Gaining the trust of the young men and women I portrayed in these photos wasn’t an immediate process.” A month in the life of the youth of Khartoum, Sudan, shot by Mohamed Nureldin Abdallah.
  • Professional storm-chasing photographer Kelly DeLay captured a “shot of a lifetime” — a massive supercell storm cloud extending twin tornados to the ground below.
  • By peering into the homes of strangers, Gail Albert Halaban hopes to bridge the gap of isolation and disconnectedness of living in large cities. And yes, she has the approval of her subjects.
  • Leading up to the 68th Annual General Meeting of the Magnum Photos cooperative, its 60 active photographers were asked to select “an image that changed everything.”
  • The Washington Football Team is hiring a photographer.
  • Can’t a beaver scratch his bum in peace?

  • Photographers around the world have been mourning the loss of legendary photojournalist and documentary photographer Mary Ellen Mark, who died Monday. There are many tributes you should go read, starting with The Washington Post’s In Sight blog celebration of her life.
  • As NPR says, these portraits of wounded soldiers are meant to be stared at.
  • You’ve probably heard lots of moaning over this reminder by Richard Prince that your Instagram photos aren’t really yours. One of the “artworks” in his exhibit is a $90,000 print of a photo by alt-porn site Suicide Girls, who responded cleverly by making posters of his prints and selling them for $90. Founder Missy Suicide followed it up by doing an IAMA on reddit, which immediately turned into a free-for-all of redditors demanding explanation for the company’s use of questionable non-compete clauses on contracts for its models and photographers in its early days (she eventually left a lengthy answer in her original post). That’s quite enough of everyone being terrible for this week, thanks.
  • Syrian photographer Khaled al-Hariri, who worked for Reuters for more than 20 years, has died aged 54 following a long illness. In more sad news, National Geographic photographer Cotton Coulson died on Wednesday after a scuba diving accident off the coast of Norway.
  • Women in Afghanistan can be incarcerated for shocking reasons. In the four years she spent visiting women’s prisons across the country, Gabriela Maj heard stories of women who’d suffered more than anyone she’d ever met. In her book, Almond Garden, Maj presents the stories of 50 of those women, alongside portraits she took after getting unprecedented access to the facilities where they live.
  • Mikhael Subotzky and Patrick Waterhouse have won the Deustche Börse photography prize for Ponte City, a study of an apartment block in Johannesburg.
  • On the edge of space: photographer Christopher Michel’s out-of-this-world selfie, 70,000 feet above the Earth.
  • What gets your dog’s heart racing? Nikon-Asia developed a camera to show you.

  • Andrew Savulich’s photos of 1980s New York are quirky and off-kilter, like the city itself before it became a sanitized tourist mecca.
  • Hungarian photographer Bela Doka’s series “Fan Club Putin” shows the Russian President’s biggest fans are college students who worship him like a pop star.
  • Hyung S. Kim captures striking portraits of haenyeo, women who gather seafood in Korea, submerging deep underwater without diving equipment or breathing apparatuses.
  • Bernhard Lang’s aerial shots highlight symmetry and sun over the beaches of the Adriatic Sea.
  • Photographer Sally Mann discusses her new memoir, “Hold Still”, and her concerns about writing it.
  • It’s Bike to Work day, so here are some adorable animals on bicycles. And remember, traffic laws are for you, too!
  • Zookeepers in western Australia pass the time by re-creating cute animal photos.
