A truly splendid creation made more stunning by the wonders of what a bunch of lego blocks can build to spice up our imagination. 

Watch the video and see if your favorite movie endings was included in this montage which is accompanied perfectly with Arvo Pärt's "Spiegel im Spiegel"

The 'Last Photo' Project is an ongoing video series where I travel to different cities asking strangers about the last photo on their phone. Traveling through Chicago for the first time was both gratifying and somewhat frustrating. I found people to be more open to chatting than in other cities (maybe it's a mid-western thing) but simultaneously a bit less willing to go deep with me (maybe it's a mid-western thing).

Resource Magazine recently featured this amazing 4K timelapse photography shot in the beautiful country of Norway. In his YouTube description, Rustad describes the great distance traveled and the time commitment that went into creating Norway – A Time-Lapse Adventure.”This is a time-lapse video resulting from a 15,000 km (almost 10,000 miles) long road trip and tens of thousands of images taken along the way over the a 5 month period. The journey covered all of Norway’s 19 counties, from the far south to the Russian border in the Northeast.The aim of this 5 minute short film is to show the variety of Norway, everything from the deep fjords in the Southwest, to the moon landscape in the North, the Aurora Borealis (Nothern Lights) and the settlements and cities around the country, both in summer and wintertime. The video shows some of the most scenic places in Norway, such as Lofoten, Senja, Helgelandskysten, Geirangerfjorden, Nærøyfjorden and Preikestolen.”

Who Is Vivian Maier? Who is Vivian Maier? is the question that always come from the younger generation of photography enthusiasts. If any,  this short film gives a real answer to that question and tells her story to the audience and create curiosity of what kind of individual Vivian was. This short video is also a call to action to visit the Chicago Cultural Center, that has since past, given us the chance to explore her gallery of photos.

Tim co-founded Camp4Collective with fellow athletes/shooters, Jimmy Chin and Renan Ozturk. We had the opportunity to go behind the scenes with Tim on a shoot in Chamonix for Black Diamond, to capture him in his element, and hear how his story began.

From the Creative Shrimp Photo tutorial “As a photographer, you already know how to capture time. Time is the light trail, created by a long (slow) shutter. As a digital artist, you bang your head against the keyboard. Painful process.” This short video easily eliminates that process by teaching you the basics of creating magnificent light trails on your Blender photo editing software. 

Photographer Sébastien Di Silvestro shows some of the finest examples of shooting faces of your subjects. To those wanting to venture into portrait photography, it will be very helpful to check some of the fascinating close-up poses in this video. Take note of the details on each photographs and the eye contact with the camera that conveys the over-all emotions of the subjects. 

‘Walk in Shanghai’ is only an introductory tour of Shanghai's urban streets. The remaining story of Shanghai’s suspense and beauty can only be experienced in person, and through using your legs as the main mode of transport. Shanghai in particular is a great city for walking as its downtown maintains its extensive walkable neighborhoods through the historic preservation of its urban fabric. Above all, JT Singh’s playful artistry is a celebration of the beauty of walking in cities. A visceral pleasure made possible by walkable and human scale urban environments. Walk on!

Tommaso writes on his video in Vimeo “In March this year I spent a week in Lofoten. I knew the islands already from a previous visit in the summer, however, I wanted to go on Aurora hunting this time. The weather and solar activity play a decisive role, so that a reliable forecast isn’t possible. Everything was more than uncertain and the unpredictable weather changes were the biggest challenge but I was lucky during my visit. In addition to the breathtaking scenery, I was able to experience one of the most impressive natural phenomena.”

According to Aaron’s description on his Vimeo video of Move “Time-lapse photography is a unique tool that can be used to capture this movement. In this short film, I explore how our world is in constant motion and how we move together with it. To help capture this, I used various time-lapse equipment that moves the camera on multiple axises during the shots, adding an additional level of motion to the film. Working on “Move” has been an incredible experience. It has taken me to some of the most unreal landscapes in the Western United States - it is an adventure I will never forget. The miles hiked, gear broken, sleepless nights and months and months spent shooting and editing this film have given me a new appreciation for time-lapse and I am so grateful to be able to share my work with you. I was very excited to once again team up with the great Lou Forestieri for the music for “Move”. His musical and artistic genius is second to none and his composition adds a unique flavor to each and every shot. When I asked Lou to write a unique score for this film, he immediately knew exactly what I wanted and wow, what he wrote is simply amazing! His score helps to bring this time-lapse to life.”

“The ground is shaking” declares climber Jost Kobusch just before the ground beneath their feet started to rumble and the noise of the rampaging avalanche caught the climbers at the base camp unprepared and running for their dear lives. Watch how the force of nature unraveled after the deadly 7.8 earthquake in the Himalayas, forcing the side of Mount Everest to shed its rocky ice and careening down to the helpless numbers of Mt. Everest expedition members at both camp 4 and camp 3.
