Spiritualized in Atlanta

Aside

Not too much of a secret that I am a huge fan of Spiritualized, having written about their most recent album, and featuring their first release as a part of Wayback Wednesday.

I was fortunate enough to get an opportunity to see them live for the second time in the fifteen or so years I’ve enjoyed their music, which for me is a real treat as Jason Pierce has been a long-time personal favorite of mine and his touring is growing less frequent with age and his increased medical issues.

Trying my best to not watch the show through the 3.5″ screen of my iPhone I did have to take a few moments during the show to get some photographs, as I had secured myself a great viewing spot one person back from he lip of the stage.

One of the most intense shows I have seen in a while, even this morning waking up much of it remained with me. Very grateful for the opportunity to see them and not have to travel far to do so.

Long Exposure Sleep Photoraphy

Posted on by

Sleep Time Lapse (Credit: Robert Knight)An interesting application of long exposure photography as we showcase two different galleries of subjects while sleeping.

The first, an installation titled Sleepless highlights the work of the perhaps ironically named Robert Knight, covered by both Wired and The Boston Globe. Knight also shares a video and matched soundtracks on his website.

On the same vein of thought, 8 Hours is the work of Martin Newth presenting a gallery of motel photographs taken during the photographer’s honeymoon. Each of the images is a large format 10×8 with a full 8-hour exposure, providing exquisite detail in the static parts of the images.

Instagram Integration Coming to Hipstamatic

Posted on by

Fast Company is reporting that the Hipstamatic  Photography app will soon offer direct integration for sharing photos to photo sharing app Instagram

Understood by many as rival applications, the move is interesting from a social networking standpoint; showing Instagram values its role as a photo sharing platform more than a vanity app for adding lomography affects to photos taken on mobile devices.

One of the fastest growing social networks, Instagram boasts a user-base of over 27 million users, expected to continue to grow rapidly as the company recently announced it’s plans to support Android devices.

2011 In Photos

Posted on by

I joined Instagram a little over a year ago, say what you will about the filters but as a platform for sharing photos with friends and quickly posting them to the social network du jour it’s wonderful. The power of the camera in the iPhone 4 family is pretty astounding given it’s size, there was a time I’d at least carry a point-and-shoot everywhere I went just in case but I’m glad that I can get the same quality of photos my Canon SD800 gave me in something I carry in my pocket anyway.

With a lot of traveling and stories this year I felt it would be good to take a look at my feed from the past year, and pull out a few favorites and compile a short gallery of photos showing some highlights.

This one has been making the rounds lately, and it has been a while since my last update – I felt something a little more light-hearted would be a good segue back into some new content.

Time lapse sequences of photographs taken by Ron Garan, Satoshi Furukawa and the crew of expeditions 28 & 29 onboard the International Space Station from August to October, 2011, who to my knowledge shot these pictures at an altitude of around 350 km. All credit goes to them.
