Rich Hein may not be a familiar name to all photographers, but the former Chicago Sun-Times photo editor, who died on Sunday, was a legend to former colleagues.

When Ghanaian photojournalist Paul Ninson came to study in New York five years ago, he found images of life in Africa in libraries, galleries and museums across the city. That gave him the idea to create a library of photo books in Ghana to help people learn their own stories. He established the Dikan Center in Accra, which celebrated its second anniversary a few weeks ago and now has more than 30,000 volumes. @npr talked to him about his motivation and how he got into photography.

Here's a gorgeous @[email protected] Storyboard from @[email protected], who has curated stories about what happens when photographers mix new technologies and alternative processes. "Cyanotype, photograms, silver print and anthotype carry the allure of the handmade and precious," he writes.

To celebrate St. Nicholas Day in December, volunteers in Kharkov, Ukraine, arranged a show for 50 children, part of which was a musical performance with a soap bubble generator. Pulitzer Prize-winning @AssociatedPress photographer Evgeny Maloletka was there to capture the moment. "Sometimes we take photos instinctively, knowing that a good photo might come out," he writes. "Children are the flowers of life. They are happy in spite of the horror they experience, living next to the front line. There is joy in their eyes, and pain in their hearts. They cannot yet fully understand what is happening to them, but they are clearly older than other children who have not seen war."

Five years ago, Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris was nearly destroyed by fire. Today, photographers from @AssociatedPress got a peek inside to see the rebuilt interior, with soaring ceilings, new stonework, giant oak beams and vibrant stained glass windows. Here are some of the breathtaking images they took, plus details on the intricate work of the laborers who restored Notre Dame. President Emmanuel Macron thanked hundreds of workers gathered inside the cathedral at the end of his tour. “The shock of the reopening will, I want to believe, be as powerful as the one of the fire. But it will be a shock of hope,” he said. “The inferno of Notre Dame was a wound for the nation. And you were its remedy.”

The past 12 months have been filled with drama, turmoil, triumph and joy, and photographers have captured it all. @time sees a through-line in the images it's curated for its top 100 photos of the year feature. "A tautness runs through the collection — the tension of conflict, the anxiety over outcome, anticipation of excitement or in possibility. Somehow, these photographers are able to capture that coiled feeling and hold it within the four walls of a frame. Be it by impeccable timing or intentional framing, they have created a time capsule that feels as if it’s about to be opened," write the team. Here are all the photos, from Evan Gershkovich walking towards the friends and colleagues who are greeting him after his year in captivity to Donald Trump, seconds after the assassination attempt in Butler, Pa.

Jurors find audio-visual evidence convincing and hard to forget — and with the explosion of cheap generative AI systems, it is increasingly difficult to determine if a photo or video is authentic or not. @Gizmodo spoke to experts including a superior court judge, law professors and computer scientists about deepfakes in court.
