My DSLR has been getting some good use lately. I opted to take it along to California a couple weeks ago and the next week down to the lake, whereas I may have usually just stuck to my point and shoot. I’m usually pretty selective and have a different eye when I shoot DSLR. That’s how I shot in California. However, last weekend at the lake I had fun shooting away and came up with this selection of snapshots.
A few photos from my trip.

I was in San Francisco and then San Diego about two weeks ago. Here are some of the photos i snapped. You can see a few from my trip more on Flickr. I’ll slowly be posting more as I sort through them.
Paris drive.

From email this morning:
Check out this ride through the streets of Paris one early morning.
On an August morning in 1978, French filmmaker Claude Lelouch mounted
a gyro-stabilized camera to the bumper of a Ferrari 275 GTB and had a
friend, a professional Formula 1 racer, drive at breakneck speed
through the heart of Paris early in the morning. The film was limited
for technical reasons to 10 minutes; the course was from Porte
Dauphine , through the Louvre, to the Basilica of Sacre Coeur.
No streets were closed, for Lelouch was unable to obtain a permit.
The driver completed the course in about 9 minutes, reaching nearly
140 KPH in some stretches. The footage reveals him running real red
lights, nearly hitting real pedestrians, and driving the wrong way up
real one-way streets.
Upon showing the film in public for the first time, Lelouch was
arrested. He has never revealed the identity of the driver, and the
film went underground. Turn on your sound and enjoy.

Pentagram does NY Public TV

Catching up on blogs and came across new work from Pentagram.
Now that NY’s two public TV stations are under the same banner, they’ve rebranded the identity as WNET.org. I’m especially a fan of the use of Flash in the interactive annual report. Neat idea. What I thought was going to be hard to navigate or read turned out to be a fun to browse.
More Green for NY.

I’ve just been taking a look at The Highline (via the new AIANY website), the first section of which is supposed to open in June. Sweet! It’s always exciting to see more green mixing with the steel and concrete of the city.

Check out the A LIST APART Survey for 2008. I’m finding it interesting how relatable to the majority my experience has been for most of the questions in the survey, except for maybe FIG. XIV: Hours worked per week. Working on that one.
