My newest mobile phone photography tips video for Postagram is up now. It features one of my favorite new apps, AntiCrop, which allows users to extend their image beyond it’s original framing. I recently posted a process breakdown of a recent AntiCrop inspired appsperiment. Here are some other AntiCrop inspired images I’ve made recently.
Due to a recent butt injury, I had to leave work a little early today. As I was heading home, I kept stopping to photograph the sunset, Sutro Tower, and Buddy the skateboarding dog.
Mark, the doggies owner, says he hasn’t tried to train Buddy to skate or anything. It’s just something he enjoys doing. Radical!
Been doing a bit of dating lately and getting my hearthole beat up a little in the process. So Gotye’s “Somebody That I Used To Know” has been stuck in my headhole for a bit. I love this Gabriel-esque video too.
Speaking of videos, I originally heard “Somebody…” via this fantastic video by Walk Off The Earth, which is everybit as good (if not better) than the original.
Thanks to all the folks who have been sending me articles about Russian activists who are using Lego minifigs and other toys as forms of tiny protest. Apparently, the activists had been barred from assembling for an actual protest regarding recent elections, so they resorted to something more creative.
“Political opposition forces are using new technologies to carry out public events – using toys with placards at mini-protests,” Andrei Mulintsev, the city’s deputy police chief, said at a press conference this week, according to local media. “In our opinion, this is still an unsanctioned public event.”
My Lego diarama and doll protestors projects from November were probably some of my favorite projects that I did last year. There’s something incredibly satisfying about leaving these random acts of protest scattered throughout everyday situations, rather than concentrated in one specific area. It’s unlikely these guys saw my newsbin projects, but I still feel a kindred spirit between our projects. Budem zdorovy!
This is totally last minute, but I’m in Park City, UT because… well, just read about the trip here. Anyways, I thought it would be fun to do a mobile photo walk through the heart of Sundance, so we’ll be meeting today (Saturday) at noon in front of the Egyptian Theater. Anyone is welcome to join us, but we are encouraging folks to try posting to Twitter and/or Instagram with the #instawalksundance tag as we are out walking. Fun, right? More details, including info on a daily photo contest sponsored by Postagram/Bing here.
