Cheesequake!
Yesterday I packed up the family sedan, grabbed the wife and dog and headed off to Cheesequake state park. Mostly as a reason to get off the couch but also to take some photos. It’s a short drive from my town and there’s plenty of hiking trails and birds and grass and, you know, other state parky things. I still have to go through all the photos I took but here’s one to hold you...

Magical Photography Pixies. →
Check out the Lytro! It takes pictures that you can focus (and refocus) after you’ve taken the picture. It blows the mind. I can only assume that inside the casing is a whole bunch of magical photography pixies working tirelessly to BLOW YOUR FREAKING MIND.

Polaroid Masterpieces →
Back in the 70’s & 80’s Polaroid gave a bunch of its cameras (some of them custom models) to 850 or so famous photographers and artists including Ansel Adams, Andy Warhol and Charles Eames.

Dead Horse Bay, Oddities Galore
A while back, last summer if I remember correctly, some friends and I went exploring around a little known place in Brooklyn called Dead Horse Bay. Now, I know what you’re thinking “that place sounds like its gross.” Well you’re right, it’s totally a gross place. But totally cool at the same time. It’s name comes from the mid 1800’s when the area was lined with around 15 horse rendering plants....

By far this is the coolest light painting photography I’ve seen. Check out all the pics but watch the 15 minute documentary too. Besides explaining how its done Denis tells his story which is completely inspiring.

Project Imagin8ion →
Canon & Ron Howard partnered for a pretty cool photo contest in which 8 photos will be chosen as inspiration for a short film. Naturally it will be directed by Ron himself and thats a cool enough prize but there’s a chance to win some camera gear and other awesomeness as well. I submitted 15 photos last night. Check it out and wish me luck! If I win I promise not to forget you.
