Awesome Snow Crystal Gallery

Photographer Kenneth G. Libbrecht spends his time doing something few people have the patience for: photographing snowflakes. Even more ambitious than that, he often manufactures the snowflakes himself. Go to his website and see the intricate array of snowflake forms, and read how he goes about his painstaking tasks. Isn't nature wonderful?

Sensitive Light - Beautiful Smoke

I fell in love with the images on this site the minute I saw them. You will too! So elegant and serene. We've all seen patterns like this drifting up out of an ashtray. But never has smoke been captured so beautifully. Once you've seen them, I'm sure you will hunger for more.

Liquid Sculpture - High Speed Water Droplets

Here's one of those photography sites that is specialized and super-cool. Martin Waugh's passion is to capture water droplets immediately after impact with a super-fast strobe. To enhance the effect, he uses colored liquid and backgrounds. The result is a unique shape, frozen in time, that will capture your imagination. Very beautiful work.

Flat Stanley - Wikipedia Entry

In December of 2008, I was asked to take a paper cutout of a small hand-drawn character around Tampa and photograph it in various noteworthy places. The character's official name was "Flat Stanley" and was one of many created by a class of school children. Each individual character, once completed, was mailed to a family member or friend in a distant location. Upon finishing his "vacation", Stanley and accompanying documentation were mailed back to the student for an educational show and tell session.
