  • Enter this Phillips Collection contest by submitting your own “American Moment” and you could win a camera from the Leica Store DC, or another great prize. The deadline is 5 p.m., July 21.
  • Head over to the DC Arts Center July 8-10 to claim your space for their popular, annual 1460 Wallmountables exhibit. They’ve been doing this show since 1989!
  • Mega-photo-op alert! Watch this 10,000-square-foot ball pit being constructed at the National Building Museum on their livecam, and visit the installation starting July 4.
  • The Salt Institute for Documentary Studies, an intensive training program for writers, radio producers and photographers that has operated in Maine for 42 years, is shutting its doors in September.
  • Concert photographer Jason Sheldon calls out Taylor Swift for her “hypocritical” open letter to Apple.
  • Instagram appears to be back to normal in North Korea after a week of warnings on user accounts saying the popular photo-sharing app had been blacklisted for harmful content.
  • Have fears about privacy, terrorism, and pedophilia ruined street photography?
  • Ellie Davies merges images of stars and galaxies from the Hubble Space Telescope with landscapes from English forests. She starts by creating the photographs of the landscape, looking for compositions that could accommodate other shapes, and then looks for a suitable starscape to fill the space. The results are dreamlike.
  • Another photographer combining images is Stephen McMennamy whose #combophoto project may look like surreal photo-manipulations created using Photoshop, but are actually the result of a much simpler process, cleverly arranging two photos side-by-side to create imaginative and amusing new scenes.
  • Danish photographer Ken Hermann tries to capture the person behind the mask in his series on Los Angeles street performers, many of whom dress as famous Hollywood characters.
  • Watch this tiger be released into the Russian wild where he’ll have a gal pal and lots to feast on.

Also don’t forget to stop by the extended run of our Instant DC Fall Review at Bloombars through December 14. Meanwhile, we hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
