Highly Educated, Highly Indebted: The Lives of Today's 27-Year-Olds, In Charts A new study by the Department of Education offers up a statistical picture of young-adult life in the wake of the Great Recession. What are today's young adults really like? For those who've spent too much time gazing into the dark recesses of Thought Catalog or obsessing over "Girls," the Department of Education has a new report that offers up some enlightening answers. In the spring of 2002, the government's researchers began tracking a group of roughly 15,000 high school sophomores—most of whom would be roughly age 27 today—with the intention of following them through early adulthood. Like myself, many of those students graduated college in 2008, just in time to grab a front-row seat for the collapse of Lehman Brothers and the economic gore fest that ensued. (One important note: I've shorthanded this group as "today's 27-year-olds." 1. Ever hear someone say that "a college degree is the new high school diploma"? 2. 3. But school was easier if your mom and dad had money. 4. 5. 6. 7.

Andre Amador's Playa Paintings are Sandy Works of Art If you live in San Francisco, California, then you may be lucky enough to come across the art of Andres Amador. He doesn't paint or sculpt. He prefers a medium that is temporary but absolutely beautiful: a sandy beach at low tide. For Andres, his art is "more about the process and less about the result." He knows that it will all be temporary. While making his beach mural explorations, he uses a rope as a guide so that he can make the geometric patterns. When asked WHY he does it, Andre gives the best answer... "The unanswerable question! Consider yourself lucky if you happen to stumble across one of his playa paintings, because it won't be there long. By raking up the wet sand at low tide, he is able to make contrasting sand colors. He even offers his services, helping people propose. Or even teaching others to create these beachscapes as part of a team building exercise. According to Andres, it only takes a couple of hours once the tide is low enough to create the designs.

Our digital SLRs have more buttons, dials, and menu options than any person can reasonably be expected to keep track of. Don’t be fooled. If we brush aside the terminology and sales gimmicks, photography today is just as simple as it was 50 years ago; maybe even simpler. There are really only three things that you need to learn to understand photography. Shutter SpeedApertureISO / Film Speed That’s it. Shutter Speed From a mechanical perspective, shutter-speed is pretty simple. From a creative perspective, the effect of shutter speed is also pretty easy to understand. These two photos of moving water make use of different shutter speeds. Aperture The aperture of this lens is at it’s smallest setting, but can still easily be seen in the center of the lens. Not as many people are familiar with what a camera’s aperture is, but there’s nothing difficult about it, either, once you see what it is. Please Comment!

Aperture in Photography" Whether you shoot film or digital, your camera acquires images through the interplay of three primary exposure settings -- shutter speed, ISO (International Organization for Standardization) setting or film speed, and, you guessed it, aperture. All of these terms are critical to fully understanding aperture, so check out related articles such as What is ISO speed?, 10 Important Photography Terms and How Cameras Work. The exposure settings you choose dictate both the duration and the amount of light entering the camera. Different lenses have their own range of aperture settings. Manufacturers calculate f-stop numbers for a particular lens by dividing its focal length by the aperture's diameter. Focal length is always measured in millimeters and often printed on the lens or camera body. Regardless of the focal length of the lens you're using, you now know that by changing the f-stop, you're altering the volume of light that passes through the lens.
