Wednesday, August 7, 2013 Having arrived in Bangkok I transferred to Phuket and from there took a trip into Phang Nga Bay. The karst limestone structures in this bay achieved global prominence in the James Bond film, ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’.

The aim of the trip was to take some inflatable canoes through caves in these formations to the interiors, or ‘hongs’ – translated as ‘four walls’ if I recall correctly. In 1991 this was a relatively new activity but now these trips are offered by several companies – well worth the excursion if you’re in the Phuket – Krabi area, in my opinion. In this photo, the haze obscuring the islands in the background is a rain shower moving through the area.

Paul Octavious never calls the hill from his series “Same Hill, Different Day” by name. The hill in question — in Lincoln Park in Chicago, overlooking Lake Michigan — is not very big, and didn’t occur naturally. It was born in the 1940s, when a pile of dirt was moved to make room for a tunnel. When Mr. Octavious first saw the hill, not too far from where he lives in the city, he felt an immediate connection. It’s a connection he thinks can be universally felt. Paul OctaviousAug. 2, 2011. The hill is the subject of photographs and videos Mr. Mr. His project is akin to two other projects, “Noah K. Mr. More than 37,000 users follow him on Instagram, where he marks the series with the hashtag #samehilldifferentday.

Yet sometimes, Mr. MAX. A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos) If there was a prize that could be given out to the most creative father, I'd hope that it was awarded to Jason Lee. A wedding photographer by day, he's used to capturing some of the most important moments in a couple's lives. As a longtime fan of Jason's photos on Flickr however, I think the real magic happens when he turns the camera onto his daughters. Sure, his children are adorably cute in their own right, but that's not what makes his photos so interesting. It's when he puts his own spin on their everyday moments that we not only get to experience our own childhood again, we're able to see a father's pride shine through.

I was able to get in touch with Jason to ask him a few questions. Q: How did you get into photography? Q: How do you come up with such creative photos of your daughters? Q: How has being on Flickr helped you with your business? Q: Any inspirational stories you'd like to share? Q: Do you have any advice for aspiring photographers? Q: Any quotes you live by?

Aung San Suu Kyi, winner of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize, Rangoon, Myanmar/Burma Everywhere I go in the world, I see young and old, rich and poor, reading books. Whether readers are engaged in the sacred or the secular, they are, for a time, transported to another world. Myanmar/Burma Ever since Gutenberg invented the printing press which enabled everyone access to books, artists have tried to portray the relationship of readers and books.

Garrett Stewart’s book, The Look of Reading:Book, Painting, Text, explores the relationship of reading and art.He points out that a wide array of artists from Rembrandt to Picasso and Cassatt and dozens more,over the past 500 years have painted people reading and the “look of reading” on the subjects’ faces.
