40,000 people on Massachusetts street between 7th and 11th — in a town of 80,000. Awesome. Via Nathan. Visit site »
I’ve lived in Seattle for over eight months now, and I think this is the first time I’ve wished I could be back in Lawrence. Looks like a ton of fun. Have a few for me, guys! Visit site »
Really nice narrated slideshow of tilt-shift photography used in the context of sports. Good stuff. Via Sean. Visit site »
If not for the municipal clusterfuck that apparently happened before I moved here, a futuristic monorail system would have opened last week, with two stops a stone’s throw from my apartment — thus making my neighborhood (which already includes the Space Needle and EMP) look even more like the town the Jetsons built. Eliza Truitt has some really great photos she took of the locations where monorail stops would have been.
I wasn’t here through the debate around it, but it strikes me as really sad this project never happened. Would have been sooo cool. We are set to get light rail in 2008, though, so that will be nice. Sadly, it won’t come too close to my apartment — although I can always take the existing 1962 World’s Fair monorail over to Westlake, which will be a light rail station. Visit site »
E-Chuckles:
ah, seattle. one of the few places where you can walk into a bar and be totally ignored because the drunk guys aren’t hitting on girls… they’re trying to figure out ways to make out with their iPhones while praying they’ve gulped the weekend away so they can return to the comfort of their undecorated Microsoft offices…
I don’t know Elizabeth very well. But, we’ve hung out a few times, and I can confirm that she is funny and smart, and I think it’s too bad I didn’t have time to get to know her better before she packs up and moves to New York. It’s been fun, e-chuck — I’ll see you in New York, sometime. Bye for now. :) Visit site »
In which I note a new feature on the site — the integration of Flickr geo data so that you can browse my photos by location.
The title pretty much says it all. Visit site »

Roger is an underwater photographer, and in this blog entry he talks about (and showcases his great photos of) a recent dive with the Zambezi shark (usually called the Bull Shark in America) — arguably the most aggressive and dangerous all of shark species. Visit site »
Absolutely the best Great White photos I’ve seen on Flickr, and possibly anywhere. Wow. Just stunning. I wish Luke had provided a bit more context — I’ve love to know where these were taken. My guess is Guadalupe Island, Mexico, just based on the water clarity. Visit site »
I’d seen this shot on Flickr before and wondered if it was real or not, but it wasn’t on Snopes for verification. Matt pointed out to me that it is on there now, and it’s real! Awesome. Visit site »
Probably the best “white pointer” photos I’ve seen on Flickr. Just beautiful. I’m so jealous of the people that get to dive with these magnificent animals! Visit site »

A few experiments with the Photoshop technique I linked earlier today that attempts to replicate the effect of a tilt-shift lens. Easy to do, and pretty neat. Was a lot of fun to play with. Visit site »
