German photographer Michael Wesely specializes in long exposure photography. Using a self-built pinhole camera, his photographs have captured the light of its subjects for up to three years. In 2001, he was invited by the Museum of Modern Art in New York to capture the re-development of their building. He set up four cameras in four […]
Mila’s Daydreams
Whenever I see Comang in his comfy pose, paws twitching and snores galore, I often wonder if he is dreaming, and if so, what about? And when my daughter is born, I know that I will wonder the same about her. Obviously I am not the only mother who tries to imagine what her baby […]
Pokémon Battles Scenes in Real Life [Gotta Catch ‘Em All]
I used to love Pokémon and watched it every. Single. Day. (Did I mention that I was a major NERD in high school?) Sadly, the obsession faded as I entered college but I still hold fond memories of Ash and the gang. Flickr user alecks(zander)kwin has uploaded four photographs of what he imagines Pokémon would look like in […]
A Digital Artist’s Workbench
I love Italian photographer and artist Federico Mauro‘s clever take on a modern digital artist’s workbench: It reminds me of another “manual” re-interpretation of a modern artist’s tool… See more from Mauro’s Flickr Set Creative is Hard Work. Love them all! Via Neatorma. You may also like: “Photoshop” in the 1930s Photography, Sushi, and Arrangement […]
Canon’s Wonder Camera Concept Leaves Me Nostalgic
Yesterday, Canon revealed the Wonder Camera concept at the World Expo 2010. Canon is confident that by the year 2030, technology will have advanced enough that the need for different lenses will become obsolete. The Wonder Camera would be equipped with a single lens that is capable of shooting macro to 500mm. The non-interchangeable lens […]

Are Posed Infant Photos Creepy?
I’m sure I’ll get bashed for saying this, but I always found Anne Geddes photos a bit creepy. I can certainly see the appeal. Babies! In cute poses! With adorable props! What’s not to like? However, I always found them distasteful. And from a quick Google search, I have discovered that I am not alone in […]
Tourists vs Locals
I have never been one to do “tourist-y” activities, even when I am at a locale I have been dying to visit. I’m pretty sure that my aversion to tourist-y activities comes from the combination of the fear of being mistaken for a stereotypical Japanese tourist (because apparently, all Asians look alike) and being around […]
A Beauty of a Cam
The Pentax Optio I-10 was announced today. The specs are nothing special but HELLO GORGEOUS! Isn’t the body design to die for? The official site describes the I-10 as “classic styling, slim design.” I’m always on the lookout for good, compact point-and-shoot cameras that are not Canon so this is a nice surprise. If […]
Star Wars: In Concert
Yesterday J and I attended Star Wars: In Concert at the IZOD Center in East Rutherford, NJ. It was…SPECTACULAR. I loved it. We recorded a video of the opening number. I loved how they included the THX and 20th Century Fox music at the beginning, just like at the movies! Here is J’s Flickr set […]
