Friday Links: December 18, 2015

Some of you like to put your work together at the end of the year to look back at where you’ve been and what you’ve seen. We’ll use our editorial privilege to highlight our pal Sanjay Suchak, a multiple time Exposed winner before he came to volunteer with our team briefly, and then heading down to Charlottesville to be UVa’s official photographer. Have you put together a highlight reel from 2015? Show us and we’ll link to some more throughout December. Oh and look, now you have your selections ready to enter into the 10th annual Exposed DC photography contest. How convenient!

  • Nobody knows Bao Bao or Bei Bei better than Juan Rodriguez, the former National Zoo volunteer turned veteran panda-keeper. He shares what it’s like to spend a day with Washington’s most obsessed-over animals. (Which made us nostalgic for a similar story our own James Calder shot for DCist four years ago, A Day In The Life: National Zoo Animal Keeper.)
  • Wired magazine has The Grisly, Fascinating History of Crime Photography.
  • “I’ve never seen anything like this, and in such perfect symmetry.” Capital Weather Gang has an incredible photo of Kelvin-Hemlholtz wave clouds taken by Brad Peterson.
  • In Sight takes a look at what John McDonnell, a Washington Post staff photographer, shoots on the periphery while on assignment.
  • Dronestagr.am announces the winners of its “Small Drones, Big Changes” climate themed drone photography contest.
  • Slate’s Behold photo blog offers up its 10 Best Photography Books of 2015.
  • The House Armed Services committee has banned photographers from in front of the witness table because of the loud camera shutters.
  • “My biggest fear is the Corcoran turning into a hub for people to do their creative minors.” A year later, the Corcoran is still figuring out its new place.
  • A chance encounter with several Chinese girls being raised in Montana led Meng Han to explore the world of Chinese adoptees in the United States.
  • Print that baby! Classic contact sheets from 1960 to now. MoMa let the Guardian into its cavernous vaults, sharing everything from Stephen Shore’s shots of a vintage car stranded in the desert to Lorna Simpson’s candid 1950s African American pinups.
  • Apply to be a photo editing intern this summer at NPR.
  • The Comedy Wildlife Awards will ease you through the rest of your workday.

In Frame: April 23, 2014

We are going with a slightly unconventional, yet highly adorable version of In Frame today. Brian Allen has been taking and posting photos of D.C.’s cutest tourist attraction, and we couldn’t resist posting several shots of our favorite baby panda. Bao Bao has been very busy doing some fun panda things like eating a stick, rolling in a ball, climbing a tree, and cuddling with mom. Thankfully Allen has been there to capture it all.

Guess what day it is! Yup, it’s time for your weekly slew of fab photography-related links, including Bao Bao up close and personal, a slightly delayed wedding photo shoot, and tigers galore. Happy Friday!

  • NPR took a look inside food, by showing dissected edibles. The work is from photographers Beth Galton and Charlotte Omnes.
  • Yesterday the Washington City Paper announced the winners of their first ever photo contest. Congratulations to those selected.
  • If your resolution for the New Year was to improve your photography, here are ten steps to follow.
  • If you missed portrait photographer Martin Schoeller speak on “The Power of Photography to Relate” at National Geographic, you can catch it online.
  • In case you somehow didn’t hear the story this week, a family was reunited with their missing son after seeing a photo that local AP photographer, and Exposed 2014 special prize judge, Jacquelyn Martin shot.
  • After receiving a check for $1.32 for the use of one of his images, photographer Joe McNally shared his thoughts on the state of the industry.
  • The photographer scheduled for their wedding never showed up, so this couple took their themed wedding photos later. 61 years later.
  • Smithsonian Magazine has an exclusive with our most beloved D.C. resident, Bao Bao. Be very careful looking at the last photo, the cuteness may cause extreme giddiness.
  • Steve Winter’s book on tigers is out. The name of the book Tigers Forever is quite a coincidence since the entire Exposed DC tiger-loving team has “TIGERS 4EVA” tattooed on their chests.
  • Photographer Adam Magyar is creating new technology that changes the way we photograph time.
  • Attempting to step out of their normal routine, photographers Pierre Javelle and Akiko Ida created magic worlds using food and miniatures.
  • The average salary for a U.S. photographer is $36,330. The only upside is that this data does not include freelancers.
  • We had to end on a happier note, so we have a bonus tiger link this week. The polar vortex was too much for Bandar and Sukacita, so they played inside with a ball and a tub of water.
