Friday Links: December 26, 2014

Welcome to a special post-Christmas/Boxing day/Obama-mas edition of Friday Links – we wanted to squeeze one more in for you under the 2014 wire. Enjoy these while you polish off those leftover cookies and continue thinking about which photos you’re going to enter into our annual contest before the January 7 deadline. (Or go out and take some, it’s a gorgeous day!)

  • Louis Jacobson at the Washington City Paper always does a great yearly photography round-up. Here are his picks for D.C.’s top 10 photography exhibits, and top 5 individual exhibited photographs including fantastic work by former Exposed DC contest winners Christine Pearl and Steve Goldenberg.
  • LensCulture picked their favorite photobooks of the year.
  • PDN reports that an Amazon marketplace dealer is selling copyrighted photos featured in TIME magazine’s top 10 photos of 2014 on iPhone accessories. One would hope Amazon would shut this down quick, but we can also hope there’s not a big market out there for phone cases emblazoned with people dying from Ebola.
  • Henri Cartier-Bresson’s incredible book The Decisive Moment was recently reprinted after 62 years. The Guardian wonders, though: Has the moment passed?
  • Dutch photographer Hans Eijkelboom’s 20-year long photo project is the ultimate Who Wore it Best?
  • Not incredibly surprising: A U.S. District judge okays police using fake Instagram accounts to befriend people to get access to their images.
  • Y’all didn’t think the selfie stick was new, did you?
  • This “most ambitious crowdsourced timelapse” involved 40 photographers in London, over 35,000 photos, and 40 hours of video.
  • Spend the rest of the day with 500px’s collections of top 10 photos in various categories, including landscapes, journalism, and cats (!).
  • “I would hate to see this tradition interrupted by someone who is not an Ohioan.” A California activist has started a petition to stop Massillion Washington High School’s 44-year-long tradition of bringing live tiger cubs to their football games.
