Photographers have no shortage of compositional rules to turn to when trying to create better images. Pro shooter and educator Thomas Park shows how you can actually make more compelling images by breaking these rules – as long as you understand them first.

Hip replacements have a limited life before they too need replacing. This is called revision surgery and it is a cause of much pain and inconvenience for the patient. Revision surgery is most often because the underlying bone has deteriorated. Bone needs stress to grow and remain strong, yet current hip replacement implants are too stiff – they constrain the affixed bone, preventing it from stretching. The bone around the implant deteriorates and the bond between bone and implant fails. Titanium is used in orthopaedic implants because it is strong, lightweight and biocompatible. Titanium transforms at temperatures above 883°C as the atoms rearrange from a densely-packed crystalline structure (called the alpha phase) to the loosely-packed beta phase. Both alpha and beta phases are strong, but the beta phase is half as stiff and has elastic properties closer to that of bone. By adding elements such as tin, niobium and zirconium, our titanium alloy keeps its flexible beta structure at room temperature. If the alloy is then gently re-heated to 450°C, some alpha phase re-emerges, complicating the microstructure. This makes it more difficult for cracks to progress through the metal, making it less susceptible to fatigue failure. If the amount of alpha phase is controlled, a metal with good fatigue properties and low-stiffness is made. To further reduce the stiffness of the implant and match it to that of bone, we use flexible scaffold structures. The porous scaffold also allows …

13th annual D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® (Sept 25 to Sept 27, 2009)
www.dumboartfestival.org/press_release.html
The three-day multi-site neighborhood-wide event is a one-of-a-kind art happening: where serendipity meets the haphazard and where the unpredictable, spontaneous and downright weird thrive. The now teenage D.U.M.B.O. Art Under the Bridge Festival® presents touchable, accessible, and interactive art, on a scale that makes it the nation’s largest urban forum for experimental art.
Art Under the Bridge is an opportunity for young artists to use any medium imaginable to create temporary projects on-the-spot everywhere and anywhere, completely transforming the Dumbo section of Brooklyn, New York, into a vibrant platform for self-expression. In addition to the 80+ projects throughout the historical post-industrial waterfront span, visitors can tour local artists’ studios or check out the indoor video_dumbo, a non-stop program of cutting-edge video art from New York City and around the world.
The Dumbo Arts Center (DAC) has been the exclusive producer of the D.U.M.B.O Art Under the Bridge Festival® since 1997. DAC is a big impact, small non-profit, that in addition to its year-round gallery exhibitions, is committed to preserving Dumbo as a site in New York City where emerging visual artists can experiment in the public domain, while having unprecedented freedom and access to normally off-limit locations.

Check out our new short!! www.youtube.com I had to make a video for class so I put this together rather quickly. It gave us a reason to test out camera equipment as well. You may notice the video drops frames and the sound cuts out. This is due to using FINAL CUT X. We wanted to upload it before we lost anymore information. *We used an old 1.8 Nikkor 50mm lens with an adapter *For sound we used both the T3i mic and the H4N audio recorder Please gives us your thoughts, Thanks! We do not own the rights to these songs. The songs are “Main Titles”, “Loneliness”, “New Courage” composed by James Horner.
