If you didn’t make it to last Friday’s opening reception for the Exposed DC / InstantDC Fall Review, you’re in luck! There’s another one tonight at Washington ArtWorks / Washington School of Photography (we’re not throwing it, but our gallery will be open for viewing) Meanwhile, submitted for your approval, this week’s links:

  • Did you know National Geographic has a tumblr that features unpublished photos from their archives?
  • Nicholas Nixon has been photographing his wife and her three sisters every year for the last forty years.
  • Andy DelGuidice on photographing street festivals in D.C.
  • Nature photographer Alex Wild is hanging up his lens after spending years fighting copyright infringement.
  • The City Paper spoke to D.C. photographer Chris Suspect about his concert photography being featured at Photokina. “I didn’t know photography was like heroin,” he says with a laugh. “It opened up a whole world for me, and I have become addicted.”
  • The National Park Service acquired a rare photograph of Selina Norris Gray, a slave owned by Robert E. Lee.
  • Marc Asnin has a new project recruiting photographers to speak out against the death penalty. “Through crowd-funding and social media, he has initiated a campaign in conjunction with the VII association against the death penalty in which he asks photographers to upload self-portraits to a website with a caption of 140 characters or fewer describing why they oppose capital punishment.”
  • The Guardian has guest photographers posting on their Instagram feed.
  • The Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture recently added over 4,000 photos from photographer Henry Clay Anderson to their collection’s search center.
  • Photographer Sebastián Liste has been photographing the Brazilian elite, and the result is fascinating.
  • “A dentist, a bus driver, and a surgeon pop open a manhole cover and shimmy into the opening, abseiling into the depths of London’s sewer system.” No joke.
  • And finally, when you find a tiger on the side of the road make sure it is real before you call the police.
