I read this blog called Light Paint - it's an outstanding collection of posted light art, and people submitting their excellent light paintings. I needed some design inspiration this morning, so I was looking through the site and discovered four unbelievably beautiful pieces of light art. Check these out, I had to share them with all of you.from Phil - sometimes all it takes is bioluminescent algae...from thegreatgildersleeve - fun with pendulums...from photoholic - late night cullyfrom RonnieBruce - untitled, as far as I could tell

I just ran across this amazing video by a guy named Colin Rich - Colin has a great, cheap little weather balloon camera rig that he has launched twice now. Colin's rig, the Pacific Star, is a small box made of light material using two Canon point and shoots - one for stills and another for video. The work is quite amazing - Colin was able to capture light from 125,000 feet above the surface of the Earth.Beautiful. Check out these two videos of the Pacific Star's two launches - last one first:Pacific Star II from Colin Rich on Vimeo.Pacific ... Read More»

I had the absolute pleasure this last week to hang out with Jefferson Waful, lighting designer for Umphrey's McGee, at Dallas' House of Blues establishment downtown. It was great to see Jefferson again - he and I spent some quality time together at SeaChanger's booth at the National Association of Broadcasters conference in Las Vegas back in April, and we waxed philosophical about lighting, music, and all things design for the camera. Videos coming soon of that, just for your information!The day at House of Blues was great - I'm a master electrician whenever I'm not being lighting designer/writer/nerd-rockstar guy, ... Read More»

It's an excellent article, you should definitely check it out!Really, that's it for this post. Go get a coffee now, that's what I'm gonna do.
Technicolor Tesla Tannenbaum
Okay, I like Tesla coils just as much as the next lighting geek, but this is just too cool for school. Aron Altmark on Twitter (@aronaltmark) sent me a link to these amazing shots by the Tesla Down Under people of their Australian Tesla Christmas Tree.WAY COOL! Check them out! You also have to check out the Tesla Down Under page to see how he made this display, and to see how it compares to his past years' efforts. Well worth your pre-Christmas work time!

Now that I am back home and not in Sweden, I have been combing through some of the work that I did in my first few months at KTH. I took a lot of photographs of pretty much everything I could take photos of when I was in Sweden, and I got some interesting shots of a variety of things, including project work.One of the first projects we did in groups was the Materials Testing project. It was a very simple project with a goal more along the lines of working in groups that really much else - each group ... Read More»

My wonderful wife sent me a link to a new blog I can read called My Modern Met - the link was to light artist Alan Jaras' work with what he calls "caustics" - patterns of light that are cast by sending a beam of light through a plastic form that has texture and shape. The light cast through the plastic material is then captured directly onto 35mm film by taking away the lens and putting the transparent plastic in its place. Pretty cool, huh?Check out these images from Alan Jaras - and check out his Flickr page. He's "Reciprocity" ... Read More»
