A study released by the National Library of Medicine showed that between 2011 and 2017, 259 people worldwide died accidentally due to selfies using their mobile phones, which has exceeded the number of deaths caused by shark attacks in recent years. Of these 259 people, about 3/4 are male, mostly between 20 and 29 years old. However, these deaths did not all happen in dangerous places, but because the selfie blindly pursued adventure.
This study also showed that there were the most cases of selfie deaths in India, with a total of 159 cases. Research says this is because locals prefer selfies. Perhaps this is related to the head of the Indian government. Indian Prime Minister Modi once launched a selfie event called #selfie with Modi on Facebook, and Modi himself also likes taking selfies with heads of various countries. The study also suggested that the government should designate "non-self-portrait areas" in dangerous tourist locations, such as waters, cliffs and other areas, to reduce self-portrait deaths.
With the development and popularization of smartphones, selfies have become a kind of self-expression and life pleasure in people's daily lives. Can the "non-Selfie area" really reduce the risks brought by Selfie?
Google image search engine has taken another big step in protecting photographer copyright: it will add image metadata to Google image's photo search results. The feature was developed in collaboration with Photo Industry Alliance CEPIC and Media Technology Standards Organization IPTC. Google said: "It is difficult to understand the creators of images on the web and who may have these rights in traditional ways, but this information is usually part of image metadata and is key to protecting image copyright and licensing information."
With the newly added feature, users can view the creator and credit metadata of the photo just by clicking the "Image Points" link. Google said copyright statement metadata will also be added in the coming weeks to display notifications such as "©️2008 Jane Doe". CEPIC said, "Google's move on images is a positive step towards all visual content creators and their rights holders. There is no doubt that this behavior shows that visual content is not anonymous creation, but a recognition of the results of people's creation."
Designer Isaac Blankensmith uses the lens of the Hasselblad camera to create shallow depth of field and clarity, and records it with Polaroid photo paper. In a weekend, Isaac Blankensmith and photographer Eddie Cohen merged Swedish design in the 1950s with Japanese design in the 1990s to complete the camera transformation.
Japanese Hayabusa-2 spacecraft successfully landed two probes on an asteroid - this is the first time in history.
Rover-1A sent back the first picture at around 1:08 pm on Friday, September 21, Japan time. This picture shows the Hayabusa-2 spacecraft, which starts from it, as well as the asteroid "Ryukyu". Tetsuo Yoshimitsu, the Hayabusa-2 team responsible for the MINERVA-II1 rover, said in a statement: "Although I was disappointed with the blurry image originally from the rover, it was good to capture this photo."
On September 23, MINERVA-II2 (Rover-1B) took 15 frames in 74 minutes. When played in sequence, the still images became videos taken from the perspective of the rover, which showed space 280M kilometers away from the earth.

"Double Joy" focuses on the unexpected role played by cigarettes at Chinese wedding banquets. "Respect for the Smoke" is a conventional rule in Chinese wedding banquets. The bride would light a cigarette for every man present to show her gratitude. At the same time, the bride and groom will be asked to complete some rough but imaginative "smoking" games. This publication pays tribute to this tradition of perfect combination of love and death. All the photos inside are from "Beijing Silver Mine" - a database of 500,000 used negatives rescued from Beijing's edge garbage stations year by year.

[Mixed publicity and privacy: The 3rd Beijing International Photography Biennale]
Time: September 28-November 4, 2018
Location: Art Museum of the Central Academy of Fine Arts
Photography has been a new technology, means and application medium since its birth, as a new technology, means and application medium, and has always been inseparable from the topic of public and privacy. Whether it is the privacy-oriented shooting and viewing behaviors performed by photographers in public spaces in the early days, or the democratization of images born from the combination of a smart photography mobile phone with mobile networks and social media, and the ever-evolving data visualization in contemporary art, photography has become an important medium for broad extension, participation, intervention and construction of human public and daily life. This exhibition will explore its role in the tension of public and private, and its significance in the process of public and privacy, focusing on a complex topic of mixed sociality, publicity and privacy of photography.
