Shared: “Shadow Days” music video by John Mayer.

Nicely shot & directed.

Who *doesn’t* like traveling and photographing in the American West? This is something I’m looking forward to doing again this Summer.

Shared…LINDSAY LOHAN – By Richard Phillips

I think this short Lindsay Lohan study is beautifully photographed and edited, despite what anyone says about the subject matter. I can’t stop watching it.

Music by Tamaryn.

Photographer Hiroshi Sugimoto’s U2 Album Cover

Hiroshi Sugimoto's photo

He (Bono) started taking notes as I talked,” Sugimoto recalled. Those notes became the foundation for the new album’s title track. Last year, during a visit to Dublin, Sugimoto heard the first demo tape, and a few months later was told by Bono that U2 wanted to use the Boden Sea image on the album jacket.

Hiroshi Sugimoto’s website

This is an example of a beautfully evocative photograph that is not ‘technically good’ yet still works. We photographers often have a tendency to get too obsessed with trying to get the sharpest, most technically perfect images.

Amazon Kindle 2 announced should I buy it?

admin — Mon, 09 Feb 2009 17:12:27 +0000

Amazon announced the Kindle 2 today. It looks pretty cool and I like that it can read aloud the books to you if you want.

But for me, part of the joy of real paper books is that after you’re done reading them, you can give the book to a friend or family member, or sell it. With Kindle books you cannot do that. That said, it’s nice to be able to save a tree.

I’ve played around with a friends Kindle 1 before and the text was surprisingly readable and it was fun to use. What do you think? Should I order the Kindle 2?

UPDATE – I bought it and I really like it!

UPDATE 2 – You can now read your Kindle books on the iPhone/iPod Touch!

UPDATE 3 (May 6th, 2009) – The larger Kindle DX has been announced.
