Rays of light are that golden egg photographers dream about, lust after, desire with all their heart. Earlier I shared a set of images that display a great example of rays of light.

So now it’s your turn to go out and replicate this type of photograph. You may think – that’s impossible how can I create that if it doesn’t already exist? Well there are some things you can do to help it along.
So get out and look for the light. Here are a few more examples:

The scaffolding used by a street artist to complete large murals becomes a tiny, less-than-private home away from home in a literal sense with ’24/7,’ an installation at the Memorie Urbane Street Art Festival in Gaeta, Italy. Playing on the concept of an artist-in-residence, the project by Milan-based Fra.Biancoshock highlights the stark difference in the working environments of street artists versus studio artists, and makes a statement on the living conditions of artists in general.
Street artists work in public by necessity, every stage of their work on display for passersby. Privacy isn’t really an option when you’re painting urban surfaces. Some artists spend so much time on scaffolding, it can start to feel like a second home.
Fra.Biancoshock decided to run with that idea and create his own four-story residence including a small studio, dining area, bedroom and rooftop terrace within just a few square meters.
Open to the elements and to prying eyes, this temporary artist residence makes the livable billboard created by the paper company Scribe in Mexico City look luxurious by comparison. That project offered an elevated living space for artists mounted to the back of the billboard they were painting as an ad for the company.
Scribe Billboard is both an ongoing urban art project beautifying Mexico City, and a clever, compact hidden home for the artists as they work.

Wisdom on Creativity Worth Viewing by John Cleese

„Erkenne Dich selbst“ – diese Worte waren in die Mauer der Vorhalle des Tempels in Delphi eingeschrieben, an dem Ödipus die Wahrsagung eines Orakels erhielt. Ödipus blieb Selbsterkenntnis verwehrt: Er floh aus Angst, sein wahres Selbst zu erkennen, aus der Stadt, in der er aufgewachsen war. In Anlehnung an diesen Mythos soll in der Gruppenausstellung „Delphi“ diskutiert werden, was es heißt, sich selbst zu erkennen. Eine Vorstellung und Einladung für Euch.

Columbia University researchers have created a self-powered video camera featuring a sensor that both captures images and powers the device. Although it can only record low-resolution 30×40 pixel images at 1fps, the photodiodes on the camera’s sensor can switch between being photoconductive, and photovoltaic. In the latter mode – given enough light – the photodiodes supply enough power to a built-in supercapacitor to keep the camera operating indefinitely. Click through for more information

Ich liebe den Norden und seine unaufdringliche, kühle und ruhige Art. Grund genug für meine Schwester, mir einen Bildband über Spitzbergen zu schenken. Fantastische Impressionen von Kargheit und Kälte erzeugen bei mir sofort ein Gefühl von Fernweh, doch verhindert die allgegenwärtige Präsenz von Eisbären auf der Insel eine ernsthafte Reiseplanung. Schnell ist ein Ziel gefunden, das einen ähnlichen Reiz wie Spitzbergen auf mich ausübt: Grönland.
