December 26, 2014 By Heather Goss

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.

In case you missed it, the ninth annual Exposed DC Photography Contest opened for entries this week; get those entries in before January 7!

The nerve-wracking process of shooting the very last space shuttle launch.

Ten National Geographic photographers give thanks for the photos that changed them.
If you printed every Instagram photo uploaded in a year, the results would reach very, very, very high.
Photographer Stuart Pilkington paired photographers together to see how they would photograph each other. The portraits are an interesting look at the people typically behind the lens.
Brazilian surfer and photographer João Pedro takes still photos with a GoPro either mounted to his surfboard or in hand without a surfboard at all. And they’re phenomenal.
The Boston Globe has started a new photo page which showcases images from their archives called the Globe Collection. The photos span from local to international news, and are a good place to spend some free time perusing images.
Riding along with Norway’s Hells Angels.
This drone video of the area around Chernobyl is haunting.
A major exhibit of the New York Public Library’s vast photo collection is a reminder that photography has always been a social medium.

We’re back after taking a break to plan and execute the Fall Review show.

Follow his Instagram account to see what he comes up with next.
