First and foremost, Happy (belated) Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a lovely day and truly felt the blessings we all have in our lives yesterday. I also hope this Black Friday find you well, hopefully enjoying your post-Thanksgiving bliss or maybe post-Black-Friday-shopping bliss or even we’re-going-to-a-football-game-the-day-after-Thanksgiving bliss.
I’ll give you one guess of what kind of bliss I am experiencing over here today. 😉 (Hint: You only need one guess.)
With that said, here are my favorites from around the web this week…
Photography
- Brian DeFrees drove 12K miles between August and October of this year and compiled all the images into a 5-minute timelapse video of the drive. I really, really wish I had done something like this for my sister’s and my trip from Baton Rouge to Denver. It would have been fascinating.
- Ansel Adams apparently didn’t like being a commercial photographer.
- Chase Jarvis, I agree with you: “Right now, it is the most exciting time in history to be a photographer.” And all you photographers who have yet to watch this video, please do. It’s incredible.
- Alex Garcia has an inclusive (and extensive!) list of iPad apps for photojournalists.
- I have been a huge fan of Jeremy Cowart’s for years – ever since he launched his photography career, really – and I am constantly blown away by his photo projects and stories. His Voices of Reconciliation project brought me to tears… and I hope to one day have the opportunity to photograph something so compelling and powerful.
- Gift alert: The photographer in your life might appreciate a lens bracelet. Kind of like a lens mug, but a bracelet.
Odds & Ends
- I’ve been curious about Siri ever since I heard about her, and this video from CollegeHumor featuring a Siri argument made me laugh out loud. Enjoy!
- My mother sent me Sarah Kay’s TED talk from earlier this year Tuesday morning, and I was blown away with her eloquence and the way she words her thoughts. Check it out. You won’t be disappointed. And, more than likely, you’ll be inspired that you can.
