  • On Thursday, NASA’s New Horizons mission team published new and spectacular pictures of Pluto taken during its fly-by in July.
  • National Geographic gives Fox control of its media assets in $725 million deal creating new for-profit business.
  • Getty Images and Instagram announced three winners of their inaugural $10,000 grant to continue documenting stories from underrepresented communities.

  • “Les Danseurs” is the result of a year that photographer Matthew Brookes spent with professional male ballet dancers in Paris. Brookes asked the dancers to think of falling birds when they posed for him.
  • Go take your camera out to a ton of local festival and events this weekend, including the DC State Fair, Columbia Heights Day (my favorite capybara petting opportunity of the year), Adams Morgan Day, the 17th Street Festival, the Nation’s Triathlon, and Snallygaster. Also Madonna is playing the Verizon Center on Saturday night, so you might find some spectacular 80s-era gear in line.
  • On the evening of September 9, 2015 Queen Elizabeth II became the longest-reigning monarch in British history. The BBC presents an image from the archives of the Press Association from every year of her reign.
