Feb 2, 2010 Photography
Mars is the fourth planet from our Sun in the Solar System. Out of the various planets and moons in our Solar System, Mars perhaps bears the most similarity to Earth, featuring an atmosphere, polar ice caps, and remnants of tectonic activity on the planet’s surface. Mars has fascinated both astronomers and the general public for years, and has been the subject of countless movies and fiction works. Currently, several nations in the world are planning to send missions to Mars for exploration, and NASA’s Spirit Rover recently ended a 6 year exploration of the surface after becoming trapped in sand.
This post will feature 21 unbelievable photographs of Mars, captured by telescope and by space probe. You’ll get to see up close what another planet in our Solar System looks like. Hope you find it interesting!

Best of the Web #45
Nov 16, 2009 Best of the Web
Good afternoon (or other variant based on where you are), and welcome to another edition of best of the web. This past week had a lot of photography roundups, everything from out-of-bounds style to tilt-shift photography. Also, there were two interesting tutorials on comic and cartoon style illustrations. My personal favorite post was a review of Photoshop brushes by SmashingMagazine, but of course, all the posts from past week that are included here are pretty good and definitely worth seeing.
Anyways, hope you all like, and as always, if you have any comments or suggestions for me, or want to contribute, don’t hesitate to contact me.
Have a great day!
