Jon Hopkins, "Vessel"

This is an amazing song, remixed by Four Tet. Lovely electronica textures and melodies, all stitched together with a twitching beat.

Check out the rest of Jon Hopkins work - he's a genius! His album, "Insides", is inspiring and he's being remixed alot at the moment.

yowayowa camera woman diary

Natsumi Hayashi's photographic diary shows a different picture every day of her levitating.

She says:
"yowayowa camera woman = natsumi
Lives in Tokyo with two cats.
Photographs mainly levitating self-portraits (and cats not levitating).
yowayowa is a Japanese term meaning "weak" or "feeble."
Since I'm yowayowa, it's really heavy to carry SLR cameras around"

Some more Space Shuttle footage

Lots of beautiful shots in this tribute compilation movie.

Amazing footage of Space Shuttle launch!

Photographic documentation of a Space Shuttle launch plays a critical role in the engineering analysis and evaluation process that takes place during each and every mission. Motion and Still images enable Shuttle engineers to visually identify off-nominal events and conditions requiring corrective action to ensure mission safety and success. This imagery also provides highly inspirational and educational insight to those outside the NASA family.

This compilation of film and video presents the best of the best ground-based Shuttle motion imagery from STS-114, STS-117, and STS-124 missions. Rendered in the highest definition possible, this production is a tribute to the dozens of men and women of the Shuttle imaging team and the 30yrs of achievement of the Space Shuttle Program.

The video was produced by Matt Melis at the Glenn Research Center.
