Gen Shield 360

Hi ho, your resident wearable-light ink slinger here! A while back, Aron Altmark sent me this amazing video, and on my quest to step closer to the nigh-impossible Inbox Zero, I rediscovered some absolutely amazing light art. Timecode Labs created 24×360 using twenty-four cameras to capture 360 images of fifteen different moments in light. Combined, the [...]

Laura and I went to Durham, Ontario to see her mom and stepdad a few days ago, and it was cold and snowy — just what I've come to expect of Canada! The light was so overcast and diffuse because of the weather that it created some great conditions for capturing detail.  Check out some [...]

Lights' Edge from Light Master Kevin Cooley

Posted by Jim - March 20, 2013 - artists, Light and Expression, Light and Photography, Long-Exposure Photography, photographers

When you scroll through these images, take into account two things — Kevin Cooley is awesome, and let's hope he still has that really warm coat he must have needed for this project so he can get his awesome butt out there and do another series! Kevin Cooley is a guy inspired by people like [...]

One Hundred Live and Die from Bruce Nauman

Posted by Jim - February 28, 2013 - artists, Light and Photography, Light Art, Lighting Art and Installations

Another statement from an artist I'm seeing now as a cross between VIcki DaSilva and Dan Flavin — Bruce Nauman's work, One Hundred Live and Die, is absolutely chilling to me: From the post at The Fox is Black: One Hundred Live and Die is what many consider to be Nauman’s masterpiece. Sad and hopeful, [...]

NOT getting cab killed

Did you go to Nuit Blanche 2012 in Toronto in October?  Laura and I did, and we took some photos that I'm just now able to get to after the trade show season.  I spoke with lots of people on the street at Nuit Blanche this year, and everyone seemed to have a great time [...]

This is astronaut Don Pettit.  Don's got a whole bunch of cameras on board the International Space Station, or at least he did on missions Expeditions 30 and Expedition 31 to the ISS. Don took a whole bunch of awesome photos that were turned into one cool time lapse video, but given a crazy Tron-like [...]

There is something about light emanating through a slit in a surface that just blows my mind.  As suggestive as that comment is, I ensure you it is not meant for that kind of thought, even though I know about half of you out there immediately went there.  What you're seeing above is the genius [...]

Some people call it Uranium Glass, insiders call it Vaseline Glass because its color and internal sheen resembles Vasoline as it was made around the 1930's.  The long and short of it is that it's glass doped with Uranium, fluoresces under ultraviolet wavelengths, and it is absolutely beautiful.  Check it out: Vaseline Glass is some [...]

Call me crazy, but I adore art like this below.  Tumblr users Rrrrrrrroll have created a series of GIFs that feature a woman spinning around in a series of environments.  There's really not much to say about this work, you have to just see it.  Even the creators were quoted as saying "We don't really [...]

Did You Know?

White flour mixed in water in a glass appears blue instead of white.  Why?  Blue light waves are scattered more strongly than red light waves.  Try it!  It's called Tyndall Scattering.
