I took up photography only recently but it’s been such a joy to hold a camera and to take a picture of something I think is beautiful to me. This might be a phase but a phase I am thoroughly enjoying and it’s the first thing that in a really long time has excited me and made me really sit up and pay attention. I think what I love the most about photography is that it really makes me look and notice the small things that I would have normally missed.
I enjoy photographing landscapes, street photography and even to a really large extent architecture. My attraction to street photography might mainly because I think it’s so honest and spontaneous and thought you might try and plan it you really can’t.

St. Peter’s Square in 2005 and 2013. What a difference 8 years makes.
I spy a RAZR. This is amazing.
Michael Moore (via azspot) -
So weird for an Australian - There is absolutely NO feeling of entitlement to weapons here. People still have them, but there is just not a protection of that “right”.
Well written.
From Feature Shoot:
Shot over a period of 18 months, Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti’s project Toy Stories compiles photos of children from around the world with their prized possesions—their toys. Galimberti explores the universality of being a kid amidst the diversity of the countless corners of the world; saying, “at their age, they are pretty all much the same; they just want to play.”
Mikey Campbell of AppleInsider looks at a newly-unveiled patent filed by Apple:
Instead of sourcing power from a stationary dock, Apple’s invention calls for a tablet case, or more specifically an iPad Smart Cover, to hold the inductive power transmitter. In some embodiments, an internal battery is disposed within the case, basically creating an “on-the-go” wireless charger.
That’s a good idea. Hope it happens.
