Dear reader, You don't need a lot of gear or multiple assistants to get sophisticated lighting effects. See this week's feature story for tips for making the most of minimal lighting from Strobist blogger David Hobby. This week we posted an obituary for photographer Evelyn Hofer, who succeeded by sticking to a classic, straightforward style. We also have a report from FotoWeekDC, the photo festival that continues through Saturday. On PDN Gear Guide, we look at an intriguing compact camera from Ricoh with interchangeable lenses. On PDNPulse, we gleaned some nuggets of advice from the ASMP's recent report on how to maintain control of how your images are used on Facebook and other social networking sites.
