15 More Images that Seem Too Amazing to be Real
Another one where I will just let the pictures do the talking me thinks.

Michael Jackson, a photographic lifetime.
If photography does anything, it lets us capture moments in time. If you are the most successful recording artist in history, there are going to be quite a few photographs taken of you. On the link below you will see the life and times of this once great entertainer. Few people can understand what it must be like to live in his shoes, is it any wonder he became a recluse.
This photo is just one of the fantastic images captured of Jackson.
Cooliris, it may change the way you view photos on the net…
… then again, it may not. Thomas Hawk makes a case for it to view Flickr photos in the link below, but, as cool as it is, there are negatives to it as well. You need a pretty rapid internet connection to be able to slide through loads of photos at any given time. And, you need a snappy computer as well it seems. My work laptop struggles to shuffle the images around smoothly. Having said all that, it is an incredibly cool application when it is working like it is meant to be.

An Inside Look at Ansel Adams’ Home and Darkroom
What a dream it must be to have the privilege of viewing Ansell Adams’ darkroom. Marc Silber had the opportunity and writes about it in an interesting article linked below. If you do nothing else today, I would suggest you watch the video in that article. For me, it humanises the legend. To hear his son Michael talk about his famous Moonrise photo and how it came about was a great insight into the man. Let me just say this, so I am on the record, I wasn’t until about 10PM last night, a fan or Mr Adams. That video and some further reading has changed my mind. That, in itself, should be enough to send you scurrying over to look at that video. 🙂 He may have been the king of dodge and burn, but his images were terrific to start with, he just made them better. Pickle my grandmother, did I just say that?
