Shuttle launch as seen from a plane, for the space obsessed I thought I'd post it here.

^^  love that photo

How's this

 

"Mitch Davie, center right, of Brooklyn, N.Y., makes a one-handed catch of a flying bat off the swing of Atlanta Braves second baseman Dan Uggla, not pictured, during the fifth inning of a spring-training baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays on Friday, March 4, 2011 in Kissimmee, Fla.

Three things impress me about this photo.

One, photographer David Goldman got this shot. Think about it: Goldman's lens was most likely focused on the playing field, not on the stands to his back. He had to swing his camera to where the bat might land, get it in focus and get the correct exposure. Luckily the bat landed in the same sunny spot as the playing field, so he didn't need to change the exposure.

Two, Goldman got the guy's name. He left his photo position on the field to ask the fan his name, how to spell it and where he's from.

Three, the fan, Mitch Davie, caught the bat with one hand. And he didn't spill his Red Stripe."

Tom getting photographed



"Tom Waits: I was trying to imagine myself as a real New Yorker, and I was having a hard time. My wife was pregnant with our second child; we were living down on 14th Street over a Cuban-Chinese restaurant. But at that moment, I was busting at the seams that Robert Frank was photographing me. I just thought, Shoot me now. The record was called “Rain Dogs,” so we were expecting to find a rainy day, which we did not find. But we found the one rain puddle in the whole park, and I’m kind of down there like a dog. Maybe that was the idea: I’m gonna get down on the dog’s level, and then Robert would get there at a dog’s level with me. Anyway, I don’t know why people in music seem to want to squat down. Maybe we just want to feel close to the earth. I’m still down there, actually. I’m squatting right now.

Robert Frank: I think he saw that puddle, and it was his idea to sit there. Tom’s comfortable that way, and it’s a good angle. I think he’s very aware when he’s being photographed — the stance he takes, the way he moves and the way the picture is going to be. That’s one of his favorite positions anyhow. When he comes in the room, he sits like that."

Better late than never - My images from the final launch of the Space Shuttle Discovery a few weeks ago- Watched from a causeway south of launch pad 39a about 25km away. So stoked to be able to be there.....

Got the beers!

A bit quieter than expected/hoped to be honest- The wind was behind us......but still freaking awesome that you can hear and see something that well when you are standing 25KM away from it going off!

This composite image shows the central region of the spiral galaxy NGC 4151, dubbed the "Eye of Sauron" by astronomers for its similarity to the eye of the malevolent character in "The Lord of the Rings". In the "pupil" of the eye, X-rays (blue) from the Chandra X-ray Observatory are combined with optical data (yellow) showing positively charged hydrogen ("H II") from observations with the 1-meter Jacobus Kapteyn Telescope on La Palma. The red around the pupil shows neutral hydrogen detected by radio observations with the NSF's Very Large Array.
