You have one more week to see our Exposed DC / InstantDC Fall Review at the Washington School of photography, closing October 31. There are tons of photography-related events going on this weekend, so head to our calendar to find them all. Got an event to add? Let us know. Sign up for our newsletter to keep apprised of upcoming Exposed events (psst: save the date for our next happy hour on Wednesday, November 5, and keep your eyes out for some big fall events we’re working on).

  • Local photographer Joshua Cogan’s work with D.C. boxer Dusty Hernandez-Harrison is highlighted in the Washingtonian this week.
  • You can now follow the Women Photojournalists of Washington on Instagram.
  • Speaking of the WPOW, one of their members and National Geographic photo editor Mallory Benedict was featured on Career Contessa this week.
  • “How does one give dignity to the image of a woman who has died and is lying on the ground, unattended, uncovered and alone as people walk by or gaze from a distance? But I believe that the world must see the horrible and dehumanizing effects of Ebola. The story must be told; so one moves around with tender care, gingerly, without extreme intrusion.” Story and photos from Washington Post photographer Michel du Cille.
  • The Washington School of Photography has office space available for photographers.
  • The Contemporary Jewish Museum in San Francisco opened a show this week featuring the work of Arnold Newman. “The show is the first major exhibition since Newman’s death, and features well-known portraits, as well as early street photography, architectural and still life works.”
  • Washington birth photographer Emily Goodstein shares what it takes to be part of one of the most intimate moments possible.
  • Famed Swiss photographer and member of Magnum Photos, René Burri passed away this week at the age of 81. The post on the Magnum Blog contains links to his images.
  • Images from the winners of the 2014 Wildlife Photographer of the Year competition, include overall winner Michael Nichols.
  • And finally, another amazing tiger photo from Steve Winter.

Our links this week include a kitten photo shoot, Robert Capa’s color photographs, magical Edward Hopper inspired images, an opportunity to meet Bao Bao, and the Leica Store DC’s monthly photo winner. Dive right in, the water’s lovely!

  • Want to get up close and personal with giant panda cub Bao Bao? The National Zoo is hosting an Instameet, and you need to sign up by January 21.
  • The butterfly arm tattoo was his initial nomination, but when this guy took his kitten in for a formal portrait at J.C. Penney he won the hipster for life award.
  • D.C.’s own Pat Padua reviewed Brandon Stanton’s photo book Humans of New York.
  • The International Center of Photography in New York will be hosting an exhibit of Robert Capa’s color photographs.
  • Interesting interview with NASA’s chief photographer Bill Ingalls.
  • Giant grocery store wanted to welcome back Howard University students, but upset many with the photograph they chose. Perhaps if they went with a local photographer instead of stock this wouldn’t have happened.
  • The New York Portfolio Review is coming back for a second year.
  • If you are an Android fan, Lifehacker breaks down the best photo apps.
  • Ghosts of D.C. shared an old photo of a slave auction house in Alexandria this week. Additionally, the Library of Congress hosts a large collection of photographs of African Americans during the Civil War.
  • Speaking of old photos, the website WhatWasThere.com overlays photographs with the location where they were taken. You can even see the current street view with the old photo sliding in front of it.
  • Dreamy photographs inspired by Edward Hopper paintings, by Richard Tuschman.
  • Flak Photo, the online photo publication, is looking for submissions.
  • Photoshopping an image of Martin Luther King always seems like a bad idea, but using it to promote your twerking event is particularly bad. The event was cancelled.
  • The New York Times included large, lovely images with their list of “52 Places to Go in 2014”. The best news is that you can scroll down instead of clicking through.
  • The Leica Store DC announced the January winner for their Oskar Barnack Wall.
  • Slate shared Eugene Ellenberg’s series “In My Father’s House.” The work “deals with the concept of Ellenberg’s memory of his family and his method for trying to better understand their relationships, as well as attempting to understand exactly who they all are.”
  • The League of Reston Artists has a call for photographs, for a show at the Reston Chamber of Commerce.
  • Wired shared the story of Tama Dezso’s photography project in Romania. He has been documenting the crumbling infrastructure left behind after the fall of the Soviet Union.
  • Steve Winter’s book of tiger images, Tigers Forever, is being used to promote tiger conservation. There are shockingly only approximately 3,000 tigers left in the wild.

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.
