When the fine line between inspiration and plagiarism gets blurred, sometimes the only justification you’ll have is saying “I was inspired”. It’s interesting that the inspired person only admits it when confronted though. If you were inspired by someones amazing creativity that you wish you had, why the big secret? Shouldn’t you let people know how much you appreciate those who inspire you? Why take the full credit until confronted? Maybe the line between inspiration and plagiarism isn’t so fine after all. One things for sure, thank god for the internet.
Though I’ve only ever used it to post photos or some weird articles I’ve read, he makes a few good points about it’s use. If this video is considered “hating” on facebook, then I guess I’m okay with well thought out, concise hate.

Recently, big wave surfer Garrett McNamara conquered the largest wave ever surfed off the coast of Portugal. Aside from it being an amazing feat, you can just sense the terror finally with the aid of a GoPro Hero2 surf edition or some other facsimile. This gets me wanting to go on adventures soon. Though I probably won’t be doing anything that insane!

Open up your ears and clean out your eyes
If you learn to love you’re in for a surprise
it could be nice to be alive”

I’m a huge fan of when photography and robotics come together to make a beautiful creation like this. Right now, the Scout is a recon robot, made to be durable (it’s actually meant to be thrown) and scope out a dangerous situation before SWAT teams move in. Oh, but the possibilities if it were actually capable of HD capture! Hopefully somewhere down the road, there will be toys like these at a consumer level for all of us to play with.
Dan Marker-Moore put together these neat “3D stills” which are actually animated gifs of about 2-3 frames. Since there is some movement and use of a shallow depth of field, there is a slight illusion of 3D. Check them out!
I enjoyed some of these so much, I felt the whole thing was worth sharing. Jason Lee brings the best out of his kids in these funny and creative photos.
