Long Exposure

Meet Michael Wesely, well, meet one of his photographs anyway:

Michael Wesely is a photographer who has been experimenting with incredibly long photographic exposures. By incredibly long I mean 2-3 years long. Pretty incredible. What he has tried to do is capture urban development over a long period of time. He believes it's possible to create exposures that last 10 years or even more. Here's a link to an article about him with more of his images: http://www.unfinishedman.com/the-long-exposures-of-michael-wesely/

Paradise

As I was grading 7th grade texture projects this morning I came across these gems. This is exactly what I needed to see on this cold, wintery day.

I want to go there.

And there.
