This year’s Photokina felt a little quiet, but it might have been the most significant in recent years. As well as major new DSLRs from Canon and Nikon, we also saw a slew of new large-sensor compact cameras and a smartphone – Panasonic’s Lumix DMC-CM1. Meanwhile, RED’s Epic Dragon pointed the way to the future with its 19MP Raw still images from 6K video footage. Click through for our take on the world’s biggest photographic tradeshow

On September 19th, 2014, residents of cities around the world rushed into the streets to reclaim what is rightfully theirs, taking urban spaces back for their own enjoyment. Well, sort of. Park(ing) Day is an annual event that encourages temporarily converting public parking spaces into parks, playgrounds, venues and other recreational spaces, and it’s usually officially sanctioned by the cities in which it’s held. Here’s how a dozen cities around the world celebrated, from Quito, Ecuador to Dublin, Ireland.


Oversized benches double as chalkboards in Sydney, along with more conventional park setups.


In the cities of Paris and Nancy, France, Park(ing) Day participants played video games in makeshift living rooms, displayed their art, and created iconic Parisian cafes (in the street rather than the sidewalk.)


Literal garden beds, gay pride displays and a beautiful turf-covered sculptural bench made appearances in Dublin.



Puppet show or game of croquet, anyone?
