  • Artomatic has found a 90,000 square foot space in Prince George’s County for this fall. Get a preview of the space tomorrow from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
  • NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft is about to give humanity our first up-close look at Pluto when it whizzes by next Tuesday, July 14, after nearly 10 years in space. The first high-res images will reach Earth around 9:30pm Eastern that night, but for now we can enjoy this spectacular view of Pluto and its moon Charon taken on July 8.
  • You can now view a large collection of OCR scanned Leica Photography magazines on Google Drive; nearly 70 are available, back to 1949.
  • Humans of New York has 10 times more followers on Facebook than the most-followed newspaper has on all social media combined. But when does the personal touch that makes him so popular reveal an uncomfortable lack of accountability that a real photojournalist would have?
  • Enter Sustainable DC’s “DC Climate Photo Contest” by July 12.
  • Stunning images of the survival techniques and defensive adaptations of caterpillars by New England-based naturalist and photographer Samuel Jaffe.
  • Russian Photographer Ralph Mirebs discovered the sad ruins of the Soviet space shuttle program at Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan.
  • And if sad images of abandoned places are your thing, but you like an added touch of creepiness, these photos of abandoned amusement parks should be just your cup of tea.
  • Decked out in natty suits and flowing dresses, locals and visitors from across Central and South America travelled to attend the 9th International Festival Danzon in Havana, Cuba.
  • Across five years, five countries and 11 music festivals, Australian photographer Nic Bezzina has documented one constant – the raw emotion expressed by festival-goers.
  • Dronestagram’s photo contest winners soar to “change the way we see the world.”
  • Your Instagram photos are now being stored at a higher resolution.
  • Selfie-stick + lightning = Darwin Awards nominee?

  • Enter this Phillips Collection contest by submitting your own “American Moment” and you could win a camera from the Leica Store DC, or another great prize. The deadline is 5 p.m., July 21.
  • Head over to the DC Arts Center July 8-10 to claim your space for their popular, annual 1460 Wallmountables exhibit. They’ve been doing this show since 1989!
  • Mega-photo-op alert! Watch this 10,000-square-foot ball pit being constructed at the National Building Museum on their livecam, and visit the installation starting July 4.
  • The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, an intensive training program for writers, radio producers and photographers that has operated in Maine for 42 years, is shutting its doors in September.
  • Concert photographer Jason Sheldon calls out Taylor Swift for her “hypocritical” open letter to Apple.
  • Instagram appears to be back to normal in North Korea after a week of warnings on user accounts saying the popular photo-sharing app had been blacklisted for harmful content.
  • Have fears about privacy, terrorism, and pedophilia ruined street photography?
  • Ellie Davies merges images of stars and galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope with landscapes from English forests. She starts by creating the photographs of the landscape, looking for compositions that could accommodate other shapes, and then looks for a suitable starscape to fill the space. The results are dreamlike.
  • Another photographer combining images is Stephen McMennamy whose #combophoto project may look like surreal photo-manipulations created using Photoshop, but are actually the result of a much simpler process, cleverly arranging two photos side-by-side to create imaginative and amusing new scenes.
  • Danish photographer Ken Hermann tries to capture the person behind the mask in his series on Los Angeles street performers, many of whom dress as famous Hollywood characters.
  • Watch this tiger be released into the Russian wild where he’ll have a gal pal and lots to feast on.

It is summer time! Enjoy and don’t forget to tag #instantdc / #exposeddc.

It’s always difficult to find different photos to feature, photos that stand out. What makes an image different is hard to define. The goal isn’t to always chase the new and different, but there is a direct relationship between novelty and what is considered worthy of mention. I am still trying to figure it out myself. Of course I would love to discuss this with anyone willing to talk about photography and its discontents: @jamescampbell on Twitter.
