I’ve never tried time-lapse photography, but it’s fun to watch. The video below shows a time-lapse of the ship Akademik Shokalskiy breaking through ice in the Greenland Sea. Photographed by Finn O’Hara, and set to music by of Montreal.

I’ve run across a couple of funny bits of Valentine’s Day humor in the past few days that I want to share. The first is from Photoshop guru Scott Kelby, via Kelby Training’s e-newsletter (adapted by me to show the actual colors):
Roses are #FF0000,
Violets are #0000FF.
However, I think this would be more accurate, if a tad less poetic:
Roses are #9B1F39,
Violets are #9C52F7.

Divine Union, with Durango the dingo in the window
At the beginning of September, some friends and I opened a wellness, art, and spiritual co-op called Divine Union. We had been talking about the idea on and off for a few years. Because we envisioned using the space for multiple purposes, including art exhibits, classes, workshops, meetings, and healing sessions, having a space we could easily set up for different needs was crucial. And we wanted it to be in Railroad Square, a former train depot which now houses a number of art galleries, shops, and community centers. However, rentals there seldom become available and are always quickly spoken for.
My Worldwide Photo Walk entry, taken in the Old City Cemetery. It won for best of Tallahassee.
On a sultry Saturday in July, I participated in an event called Worldwide Photo Walk, created by Photoshop guru and teacher Scott Kelby. As its name implies, Worldwide Photo Walk is an international event where photographers gather together and go on a photo excursion in their city. I know a number of other local photographers, but everyone on the Photo Walk was new to me, so it’s a great way to meet people. Each group has a leader, ours being Mike Olivella, a commercial photographer specializing in sports photography. Mike led us from our meeting spot at Andrew’s Capital Grill & Bar to the Downtown Market, Old City Cemetery, Kleman Plaza, and the State Capitol Building. We spent about half an hour photographing at each location, and the walk between locales provided plenty of interesting opportunities as well.
