Yesterday, after about 30 minutes of swimming I looked at my hands and began to think of Michael Phelps. Everyone is asking him a repeated circle of questions such as: What does it feel to be the greatest swimmer of all time?; How does it feel to have eight gold medals?; How are you taking this all in and etc. After looking at my hands I thought of a question that I would like answered, but no one has asked Michael Phelps to this day.
How long does it take for his fingers to get wrinkly?
I found this over at A Continuous Lean about a great photo project found on Flickr by Hartford Art Student Brittny Badger. I am sure other people have attempted to do something similar, but she sets up the parts in a way that takes advantage of each part’s individual shape. My favorite is the Iron in the photo above. I also enjoyed the set because a lot of them make you say “What the &#^@ is that part used for?!”
“I took apart used cooking/cleaning appliances, and arranged their interior parts very systematically on a white sheet of bristol board. my intention was to explore the hidden “brains” of these appliances; allowing us to view these everyday objects from a new perspective.” - Brittny Badger
Using Photographs to Enhance Videos of a Static Scene from pro on Vimeo.
Yay for nerds from the University of Washington!! Not that I was a nerd or will ever be one, but as a photographer and lover of video, I definitely have a strong appreciation for what these fellow Huskies are doing. Yes, there was a lot of times in the video where I stared at the screen with that face of QUE??! But, it still is an interesting watch if you have time.
Sailing with friends on a hot day in Seattle. It was hot enough in Seattle that my apartment became and area where even Satan would not enter. I sucked it up and bought an air conditioner on sale at Target. Best. Purchase. Ever.

I LOVED this. Why? Because this is exactly what your eyes do when you watch that horrible video. Thank you Darcel. I know there are a lot of 2 girl, 1 cup reactions out there on YouTube, but for some reason I enjoyed this one more than the ones with real people in them. Except for the grandma one, that one is boomtown.

How awesome is the picture featured above named Turimetta. Makes me really really want to go to Australia. Although my main reason to go down under is to find a Kangeroo and prove that hey are not cute animals.

Sometimes I wish that Seattle’s skies were clear all year round.
