HALO

A strange phenomenon spotted above the skies in Kralovsky Chlmec, Slovakia. According to online research, this so called “circular halo” is an unusual sight and it is seen usually around spring and autumn. Many are near the sun or moon but others are elsewhere and even in the opposite part of the sky, they can also form around artificial lights in very cold weather when ice crystals called diamond dust are floating in the nearby air. The effect is produced by ice crystals creating coloured or white arcs and spots in the sky.

Why Moments Matter

Here and There

A Clueless Spectator is an ongoing series of New York City street photographs by Hiroyuki Ito.  The Japanese artist, who moved to New York in 1992, finds magic in the everyday experiences of city dwellers: a nap on the subway, a cigarette break on the sidewalk or window-shopping at night.  Selected works from Ito’s New York photographs will be on view through October 10, as part of the two-part exhibition, Red Rain/A Clueless Spectator, at New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts.  Red Rain is a second series of pictures taken during Ito’s emotional first trip back to Japan for his father’s funeral, after 20 years in New York.
