astrological picture of the day

"explanation: our sun may look all soft and fluffy, but it's not. our sun is an extremely large ball of bubbling hot gas, mostly hydrogen gas. the above picture of our sun was taken last month in a specific red color of light emitted by hydrogen gas and then color inverted to appear blue. in this light, details of the sun's chromosphere are particularly visible, highlighting numerous thin tubes of magnetically-confined hot gas known as spicules rising from the sun like bristles from a shag carpet."

cool!

an african photographer

i absolutely love photography. there's just something about being able to capture that perfect moment that is so thrilling to me--and probably about the only thing in this world that i have the patience for. i don't have any fancy cameras, just my little canon powershot. and even though its not the most expensive camera out there, i still love trying to get that one snapshot where a picture is truly worth a thousand words.

i found this guy, nick brandt, from london, who takes incredible photos of wildlife in east africa. he doesn't use telephoto lenses. instead, he gets extemely close in order to capture as much of the sky and landscape as possible--"to see the animals within the context of their environment".

truly amazing.
it makes me want to go on safari. =)

art is...

art is...

an expression of,

a symbol of,

a commentary

on life.

we all have opinions.

we like it.

we hate it.

we ignore it.

it is everywhere.

these photos were found at deviantart.com, except the last two.

those two are by one of my favorite photographers. =)
