SAN ANTONIO — Wildlife in Focus, a non-profit organization which targets wildlife and ecosystem conservation in Texas, recently expanded its popular biennial photography competition in order to reach more landowners and photographers across the state.
The expansion includes plans to encourage the owners of any and all privately owned land across the state to participate in the contest. In addition, the organization has added a new category that allows individual photographers to compete for separate prize purses without being part of a landowner/photographer team.
The competition, which has existed for 20 years, has three entry levels: landowner/ photographer team, videographer, and individual photographer. The two photography contests both span 50 categories and the videography contest has 8 opportunities for entries.
The total prize purse for all three contests, all categories, is $45,000. The goal of the competitions is to promote conservationism and to create a visual story of the beauty of native Texas land and wildlife, from insects to sunsets, from borders to bayous. The prize-winning photos for each competition are then used to produce a coffee-table book as well as promoting the educational outreach program of the organization, Kritters 4 Kids, which targets school-age children grades K-8.
“We are very excited to share that our upcoming contests are now available for landowners anywhere in the entire state of Texas,” said Miles Phillips, Wildlife in Focus photo contest director. “Photographers and videographers from anywhere and with all levels of skill and time now have additional entry options.”
Registration for the competition is now open at the wildlifeinfocus.org website. Deadline for entry is Dec. 1. The active window for photography is from Feb. 21, 2025, to May 31, 2025. Photographers and landowners can set up their own teams, or WiF will assist in pairing teams.
The registration fee is $500 for each participant on the landowner/photographer teams. The individual photographer entry fee is based on the number of categories and photos entered and includes entry into the videography competition. The fee for entering the videography contest alone is $100 each for landowner and videographer.
Full rules for the contest, including equipment requirements, technology specifications, categories and prize purses, are available at wildlifeinfocus.org.
Any questions or concerns regarding the competition can be emailed to [email protected] or left in a voicemail at 361-342-9585.
In 1936, three years out of high school and working from her home darkroom on Prospect Avenue in Princeton, Elizabeth Menzies (1915-2003) sold her first cover photograph to the Princeton Alumni Weekly (PAW). That photo and many others went uncredited. The back sides of the prints document an evolution from the lightly penciled “Menzies” to a polite “Credit Line Appreciated” to her rubber stamp insisting “Credit Line, Please.”
A new exhibition of Menzies’ work, Credit Line, Please: Photographs by Elizabeth Menzies, is now open. Curated by Phoebe Nobles (Processing Archivist), Emma Paradies (Library Collections Specialist IV), and Rosalba Varallo Recchia (Library Collections Specialist VI) of Princeton University Library, the exhibition features dozens of photographs from the University Archives collections at Seeley G. Mudd Manuscript Library, in particular the Princeton Alumni Weekly Photograph Collection and the Historical Photograph Collections.
Menzies was both an insider and outsider. While excluded from the education she documented, she enjoyed privileged access to campus through her father Alan Menzies, a chemistry professor, and her job at Princeton’s Index of Medieval Art. Her camera was her ticket to lecture halls where, in the words of one PAW editor, undergraduates “endured Betty Menzies’ tennis shoes silently padding through the back rows.”
Spiritualism is the belief that an unseen world of departed souls exists alongside our own and that, under the right circumstances, can be detected and even communicated with. Its no coincidence that spiritualism’s peak spanned from the 1840s to the 1920s, alongside the rise of a flurry of new communications technologies – including the telephone, telegraph, radio and photography – that connected people across previously unthinkable gaps in time and space.
In this video from the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the curators Ruth Hibbard and Lydia Caston use objects from the museum’s collection to explore how, in the UK, spiritualism took root not only in the minds of the bereaved and superstitious, but also in many who considered themselves serious-minded empiricists. With cameos from such famed British names as Arthur Conan Doyle, Charles Dickens, Lewis Carroll and even Queen Victoria herself, the short makes for an intriguing dive into the nexus of religion, technology and entertainment in the Victorian era.

There comes a point in every pet’s life when it’s time to say goodbye, but photographers around the world are making it possible for people to hold onto the memories of their loved one.
It’s a forever keepsake.
“Photographing a pet is kind of a form of closure for these families,” Ashley Carroll said.
She is a photographer for The Tilly Project, which is named after the creator’s cat, which passed away unexpectedly.
The goal of the project is to provide families with photos of their pets as they reach old ages or get sick.
Founded in Maine during the summer of 2021, the project has since grown worldwide.
“I absolutely love doing end-of-life pet photography. It’s kind of one of my favorite things to photograph,” Carroll said. “I know what these families are about to go through, and I just want to provide them with as much help as I can.”
Carroll works in veterinary medicine, so she meets many clients there but offers end-of-life pet photo sessions free of charge.
Her most recent one was with Mackenzie Lawrence, her son, Cason, and their 14-year-old dog, Max.
“I think that it’s a memory that you’re capturing, that it’s something that you’ll have for the rest of your life that you can hold on to, so it’s important,” Lawrence said.
Max here is one of more than 100 pets Carroll has photographed over the last three years.
“No family should go without these types of photos,” Carroll said.
Lawrence plans to hang the photos in her home and make an album for her son to appreciate when he’s older.
“I think it’s so sentimental because we are always taking pictures with families and weddings and events, but dogs really are part of our family. So, I know for us, it’s important to capture those memories as well,” Lawrence said.
The Tilly Project has photographers located throughout New York, the United States and other countries. Click here to find one near you.
GARRETSON, S.D. (Dakota News Now) – Robb Long first started snapping photos while growing up in Richmond, Virginia.
“I started photography at the age of 14 and started shooting professionally at 16 for the Richmond Times Dispatch. And that love of photography came from just being curious and adventurous,” said Robb.
Eventually, Robb would leave the media to take a different kind of picture.
“What happened was there was a big shift in advertising photography, leading more toward authentic, real imagery. And being a photojournalist really set me up for success in that field,” said Robb.
A job at Sanford Health led him to this region. After moving to Garretson, where he now lives with his wife and three kids, the lens pointed to something new.
“We’re around all these farms and all that kind of stuff. I was curious about it. I remember probably back in 2014 or 2015, the creative director at Paulson called me up and said, ‘Hey, we really love your photography. Would you like to come out and shoot an agricultural campaign for Kubota tractors?’ And I was like, ‘What’s a Kubota tractor?’” said Robb.
Robb did that and has since become one of the top ag photographers in the world, with his work in a number of major publications.
“I absolutely just fell in love with it. I fell in love with the people of South Dakota, and I fell in love with the farming lifestyle — and then went out onto farms and just started shooting on my own personal projects. Guys in combines working the fields, seed companies, all that sort of stuff. 98 percent of my projects are all agriculture,” said Robb.
Now his business Robb Long Photo and Video takes him places.
“We’re a global production company. So we have photographed on pig farms in Europe, and we also photographed for Nutrena Animal Feeds out in California. I was just in North Dakota shooting a couple of campaigns up there,” said Robb.
He’s been featured in Archive Magazine’s top 200 ad photos worldwide, for three books in a row.
“Everyone seems to love the authenticity. And they like how I also put in a human element into the agricultural photography I do. I just don’t photograph the machines — I have people operate them, do a lot of lifestyle stuff around the machines. 90 percent of all of the ad campaigns I do, I will source a lot of the talent right from town here. They’ll see themselves on a billboard, and they’ll take a picture and send it to me. It’s really kind of exciting. It’s a lot of fun,” said Robb.
