To the untrained eye, they appear something like an artistic intervention. But these scrawlings are in fact his own guidelines, revealing complex formulas and how he intends to ‘dodge and burn’ selected areas of the image as it is projected from a negative in an enlarger onto the surface of the print. The various numbers refer to the different exposure times he intends to use on portions of the image as he compensates for the imperfections of the original. The facsimile prints in the collection therefore reveal an analog history — how depth and layers are accentuated through the printing process; how the subject is brought to life. They are also a testimony to the eye of the printer and the intimate art of darkroom magic.
They’re also a useful counterpoint to the idea that pre-digital photography is less edited or more pure, such as this sentence:
Remember, Penn shot long before Photoshop could magically touch up our flaws. The perfection of his analog photos is in the light, the composition and the shadows.
Irving Penn spent several years creating a new platinum printing technique, so I don’t think it’s unrealistic to expect that he also did darkroom edits. (He wasn’t a Magnum photographer, so the proof of work isn’t going to be as clear as it is for Glinn, Dennis Stock, or Bruce Gilden, all of whim have prints on Magnum’s store.)
The past wasn’t necessarily better just because creativity didn’t get processed through computers somewhere along the line.

On Jan. 29, 2022, a 2018 Dodge Challenger entered an intersection near North Las Vegas, Nevada, against a red traffic signal with a vehicle recorded speed of 103 mph, causing a multivehicle collision with five other vehicles. Seven occupants of a minivan and the Challenger’s driver and passenger died as a result of the crash.
The image above shows a 3D scan of the minivan involved in the collision.
“This crash is the latest in a long line of tragedies we’ve investigated where speeding and impairment led to catastrophe, but it doesn’t have to be this way,” said NTSB Chair Jennifer Homendy. “We know the key to saving lives is redundancy, which can protect all of us from human error that occurs on our roads.

There’s a tendency in science fiction (and more generally futurism) to project bigness into the future. For example, here’s a screen capture from the 1995 Ghost in the Shell, set in the far distant future of (looks) 2029.

Apparently inspired by the 747s and other jets looming over Kowloon as they arrived at Hong Kong’s airport, a huge jet with six engines is silhouetted over a cityscape.
In the 2024 that actually happened, though, most transoceanic jets look like this.

That’s a Boeing 787. It has two engines, not six. It turns out that what actually happened is that jet engines got reliable. Really reliable. So much so, in fact, that global regulators increased the distance that two-engined planes could be from the nearest airport, increasing from 60 minutes flight time, to 90, then 180, and now four hours is allowed (admittedly under some fairly stringent conditions).
There’s still a small number of three and four engined jets flying, but they are mostly now either very long haul A-380s or freighters. Meanwhile, Hong Kong’s airport was moved in 1998, removing a thrilling but potentially disastrous spectacle. It’s probably for the best.
(I could go on about how Lockheed and Douglas bickered over the tri-jet market in the 1970s while Airbus got their foothold developing the twin-engined A-300, but maybe that’s a bit too nerdy.)
In May 2023, this newsletter highlighted a rendered hike around Mt. Blanc, beautifully visualized by Shanghai designer Wendy Shijia. Within a few weeks, I was lucky to be chatting with her about a vision:What if each U.S. National Park had a cookie-cutter section removed and placed on a giant chessboard for easy comparison?
The last image shows the NACIS Atlas of Design:
Here are our first twenty parks as they will be presented in the NACIS volume, arranged geographically from the west to east coast of the United States.
Each park is a 5×5-mile section, raised above sea level without vertical exaggeration.
