I love Ian’s photography.  He really captures people as they are, not just a flat pose.  I really hope he shoots our wedding.

Very interesting photo 

 I wish my desk was this clean, then I might actually be able to do something besides reblog.

Harlem to Grand Central in 58 seconds, by me. View in HD.

Timelapse at 10x realtime, filmed with the camera pressed against the front window of the Metro-North train. No sound, since the natural audio was boring and I couldn’t think of a good music track to attach except Star Guitar, but it’s copyrighted and Vimeo probably wouldn’t appreciate that.

My first original video on Tumblr (and Vimeo).

Albino peacocks are awesome (now I have the Meth Minute song in my head)

Why we don't like ourselves in photos

snpsht:

I keep hearing sentences like “I never look good in photos”. This originates from the reality of how we usually see ourselves. We look in the mirror every day and the person looking back at us is someone we know like our mother or siblings.

We are “used” to that look, speaking of the angle we take at ourselves, the height of the view (eye-level) and most importantly, the reverse sides. No face is symmetrical, and a sudden horizontal flip of our whole self, as it is in photos of us, is double the change of unsymmetricality to us.

No wonder we like the look of ourselves in Photobooth pictures taken with our Macs: They act like mirrors. Ever noticed?

Just as it is possible to get used to your own voice in a recording, you can get used to your look in photos. It just takes some time and practice. Release your muscles and put on a genuinely happy face.

In ten years, you will be happy you didn’t hide from every photo taken.

Study: ‘Weight-ism’ Is Bigger Than Racism (via emilyposts)

… weight discrimination is spiraling upward, and that’s a dangerous trend that could add fuel to the obesity epidemic.

The study argues that discrimination against fat people should be illegal, just like discrimination based on race, age, or gender.

Personally, I don’t see the connection… being overweight is just as much of a lifestyle and personality decision as smoking, being annoying, or listening to bad music. Sure, it’s hard to change it once you’re there. But it’s not impossible, and it’s not the world’s fault that you got there in the first place.

People shouldn’t be prohibited from thinking negatively of people who are overweight because of their decisions.

(Also, this picture… they couldn’t have picked a better representative? Is that a pair of 2-liter soda bottles in that shopping bag?)

In 6th grade we segregated ourselves in the gym by gender… As adults we segregate by frozen vs rocks.

I wish we had thought of this.  Watch the video of the DVD, it’s really funny.
