Happy Birthday, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “I HAVE A DREAM” (ink on paper, 11x14 inches)

Watch: Smith then sends a message to Oscar host Chris Rock specifically.

"You don’t make it easy to love you, brother.” "And yet you’re obstinate in your desire to do so.”

"Tom and I had been debating whether to "play" an injury, after he was thrown. I wasn’t convinced it would work. So, in a run through of the fight - with the rest of the cast present, who hadn’t been privy to our conversation - Tom landed from the throw and faked the injury. It worked wonderfully and the rest of the cast liked it, so I conceded that Tom was right. Tom had a broad grin for the rest of the day." (x)

These photos by a mother in Russia are floating around the internet a lot lately… so I’d thought I’d post some insight. They’re amazing images, great editing, great composition…but what I’d argue is that one of the things that make them so great is the lens! She shot these photos primarily with Canon’s most underrated L-series lens, the 135mm. Over the past year this has become my favorite lens to bring along to shoots. The reason? It’s lighter and smaller than our 70-200, it’s sharper than any lens we own, it’s extremely “fast” (good in low light and for dramatic depth of field) at 2.0, and well… it’s just magical really! The key to the 135mm lens isn’t what it does, it’s what you do with it. I’ve found out a secret lately that I’m going to share with you! The key to shooting with this lens is to get dirty…that’s right. Lie on the ground. I snagged this technique from the infamous Meg Bitton of Meg Bitton Photography. She didn’t outright say it on her blog, but she posted a review of one of her workshops. It was there that I noticed a picture of all the photographers…flat on the ground! This made me think…why did they do this. Then it clicked. With a long lens–I’m talking 135mm and higher–you’re going to always get some epic depth of field behind your subject. To take this DOF to the next level, create depth in front of your subject by putting something in your foreground. Laying on your face is one amazing way to do this, you’ll get dirty, but it’s worth it every time. Go try this NOW with the longest lens you can get your hands on, if you’re looking to get one, the 135 one of the best and most affordable L-series lens out there! if you’re crazy like Meg, go for the 300mm 2.8. YIKES, look at that price tag! I would love to own that lens someday! Hope this helps you take your photography to the next level! Don’t tell your friends though…it’s our little secret :) -Stephen

If “Let It Go” is stuck in your head it is because it is actually “Call Me Maybe.”

“It doesn’t matter if I have to go through some terrible hardship in order to play the part as long as the whole is inspiring and has a good impact. The reason I’m here, the reason I became an actor is because, sat there in the audience, my world was once changed by a film or by a piece of theatre; something like The Remains of the Day—which I just think is such a beautiful film—or The Constant Gardener, or any of the films that Danny Boyle makes. It’s that feeling when you see a film and it’s changed the way you think about something. It’s touched you; there’s something about it that you believe in.”
