The end of the week is nigh! So you’re gonna need some links to help you cross into the next world. Or the weekend. We have the winners of Nat Geo’s first drone photography contest, the top World Cup photos and why they’re so fab, an interview with Exposed alum Jim Darling, and tigers designing jeans. Head towards the light:

  • You can read an interview with Exposed alum and local photographer Jim Darling in Atlantic Media Strategies.
  • The Guardian’s sports photo editor picks the top World Cup images and explains why they stood out from the 250,000 shots they received. Spend some time with these shots.
  • Photographer Melissa Golden wrote about her experience of being misquoted and having her work falsely represented in Politico, and works to clear her name.
  • Want to learn how to be a street photographer without being a jerk? Learn from four local photographers in this article on CityLab.
  • Need help getting your images copyrighted? Local photographer John Harrington made this video as a step-by-step guide to registering published images.
  • Local photographer Gaston Lacombe, who we interviewed last year, is showing his Antarctic penguin photos at Photoville in New York. The New Yorker has a slideshow of his images.
  • Photos by Gregg Segal of people lying in a week’s worth of their own trash.
  • Science magazine used a photo of transgender women with their heads cropped off as the cover for the latest issue, highlighting how to stay a “step ahead of HIV/Aids.” In a field that has been trying to attract more women, the cover did not go over well.
  • Is drone photography a fad, or here to stay? It may not matter when you look at these amazing drone photos.
  • Want to get a master class in space photography? Then read this Time interview with astronaut Don Pettit.
  • And finally, tigers are so awesome they are “designing” their own jeans.

Our links today include a D.C. photojournalist being knocked down by security guards at the Smithsonian, the story behind a popular street photo, some very creepy Victorian baby photos and much more.

  • The New Yorker has a nice collection of images of the life of Nelson Mandela.
  • Photojournalist Kristoffer Tripplaar was knocked to the ground yesterday by guards at the National Air and Space Museum. Fellow photojournalist Charles Dharapak shared the images on Instagram, and stated that guards were trying to “stop him from photographing a protest about the minimum wage at a McDonald’s restaurant” inside the museum.
  • While demonstrating “how the pros” change their camera lenses a man drops his Canon L series lens on the ground. The best part is that he uploaded the video to YouTube for all of us to enjoy.
  • Photographer Mikhail Mordasov’s images of the people of Sochi show the city as it is, not as seen through the Olympic glow.
  • Over 10 years ago Zoe Strauss took an image of a boy doing a flip on the street in Philadelphia. The image went on to be published around the world, but the story behind it is just being revealed by his friends and family.
  • Jason Kottke is compiling a list of this year’s best of photo lists.
  • Coal production, and its impact on communities in Appalachia is the focus of Justin Kaneps new work. The images are reminiscent of Walker Evans’s work for the Farm Security Administration 75 years ago.
  • We found a baby photo trend you will never find on facebook. Victorian parents, mostly mothers, used to hide in plan site to get their babies to behave while getting photographed. The result is the stuff of nightmares.
  • Dirds. Birds look much better with dog heads.
  • CoEdit Collection is a new site selling photography prints. The curated selections include work from D.C. photographer Melissa Golden.
  • Here’s a story and photos of a rich white lady going to China in the 1940s and stealing baby pandas, which she kept in her apartment for a while. China’s panda protection and breeding program makes so much more sense now.
  • And finally, a baby lion, tiger and bear walk into an animal sanctuary…
