Small Tribute to Martin Luther King.
The above mugshot is of MLK after he was arrested in the Montgomery, Alabama bus boycotts. Here are some awesome quotes from Martin Luther King to commemorate him on his day.

He who accepts evil without protesting against it […]

A Leaf as a Photographic Substrate? Photosynthesis Exposures by Binh Danh.
Binh Danh is an artist based out of San Jose, CA who creates art based upon his ancestral home of Vietnam and the madness of the nearly two decade war that occurred there. After graduating from Stanford in 04, Binh Danh has explored the photographic process and utilized photosynthesizing leaves as a ‘photo-paper’ on which he places negatives to produce a ‘leaf print’.

Geometric Detonations by Francesco Locastro.
Like witnessing a Geometric Explosion, watching Francesco Locastro‘s most recent video of his shape combinations is beguiling (although the music is a bit dull – you might want to supplement with your own soundtrack).

4 minutes of Natural Landscape Time Lapse Insanity.
The scenes and phenomena captured in this video is quite unreal. Using High Dynamic Range (HDR) bracketing, top of the line Digital SLR’s are able to combine exposures to blend details from the highlights, as well as record faint light such as star clusters. If you aren’t blown away by this, I will refund your 4 Minutes of life that you take to watch it. MARVELOUS MONTAGE.
