Friday Links

Happy Friday, link lovers! This week we have a local photographer explaining the use of anamorphic lenses on his blog, new local professional development workshops, Amazon patenting shooting on a white seamless, and much more!

  • The May APA DC featured member is Erika Nizborski, who was also an Exposed DC contest winner. She was interviewed on their blog by Jim Darling, who also happens to be a former Exposed winner.
  • George Steinmetz’s work is on the cover of National Geographic this month. His creation of the photos of factory farms got him arrested last year.
  • Kickstarter for a panoramic camera that makes images in fancy 4k resolution, called CENTR.
  • Local wedding photographer Sam Hurd wrote an excellent post on his blog describing how he uses an anamorphic lens. The post was later picked up by PetaPixel.
  • The Los Angeles Times has redesigned their photography section, and there is plenty of great work to enjoy.
  • In extremely weird news, Amazon has patented shooting on a white seamless background. No word yet what the estate of Richard Avedon will have to pay in royalty fees.
  • Interested in professional development? Local photographer E. Brady Robinson will be hosting workshops at The Fringe.
  • Polaroid made a camera in the 60’s called The Swinger, and fittingly the commercial is full of sexual innuendo.
  • The title of this article says more than enough, “Man Photoshops Himself Into Girlfriend’s Childhood Photographs.” An alternative title could have been, “How To Quickly Make Yourself Into An Ex-Boyfriend.”
  • Who controls an artist’s work after their death? The Wall Street Journal looks at the posthumous production of prints from negatives created by Vivian Maier and Garry Winogrand.
  • Photographer Sophie Gamand takes a hard look at one of the most humiliating part of a dogs life, bath time.
  • The Calumet website is back online. Calumet was sold to C & A Marketing, and you can read some legal documents about the case here, and here. You can also read the perspective of a college student struggling with the loss of the camera store.
  • And finally, the Philadelphia zoo creating a cat walk crossing that allows tigers to leave their exhibits and travel across the zoo can only mean one thing – Road Trip!

We know that buying for photographers is not easy, as we are very particular people. Well meaning friends and family often want to buy us something photography-related for the holidays. Since they don’t know exactly what to get, photographers often end up receiving camera lens mugs, camera ornaments, and an assortment of other items that, while very nice, aren’t particularly useful. We are here to help! We merged our collective wish lists and asked photographers what they’d want, and here are the results:
