Alright, it’s mid February and the winter doldrums probably have you down a bit. Here’s a perfect educational boondoggle if there ever was one. The School of Visual Arts has a study aboard program which offers Action Surf Photography in Rincon Puerto Rico from March 5 – 13.
Pack your camera bag dude! Surf’s up! (Good luck getting your parents to pay for this)
Today’s Flickr blog features a collection of photos of crabs and a link to a cool Crab World Map!

Imagine after a lovely scuba dive you return to the surface to find that the anchor line of your boat has parted and your ride home is no more. :(
What do you do? Take some pictures, of course. :)
You are miraculously rescued by a passing boat :D
which then capsizes on the way back to port :(
and your camera is lost. :(
Then four years later somebody walking the beach finds your camera! :D
Here are the pictures and interview.

Boston.com’s The Big Picture has done it again. 41 awesome surfing photos that are not to be missed!
Here’s an amazing photo making the rounds on Facebook.
The photo has been “attached” to an even more amazing old San Francisco Chronicle story, which Snopes confirmed as true; but I don’t believe that the photo is of the same whale. Both still cool all the same!
Happy FotoFriday!
Sadly it’s the end of summer! I guess it’s time to “dive” into school and work!
The Boston Globe’s The Big Picture has some inspiring photos that might help. Check out their “Diving In” post which appeared on September 3, 2010.
Bonus FotoFriday!
There are two photo website that I believe stand out from the rest. They are the Boston Globe’s Big Picture and the great visual storytelling Pictory.
Every week, Pictory exhibits a different theme and this week it’s titled In Deep. Here’s what they have to say:
Bodies of water bring us comfort, euphoria, life.
Most of my happiest memories involve water. Water is the fundamental precursor of life and one of our most valuable resources, but most of us don’t think of it that way. We think of failed attempts to water ski and boiling hot days. Days at the beach or floats down the river. Water and heat work together to give us excuses to detach, relax, and forget. Soak it up.
Check out the images and short captions. They are always awesome. The cool thing about Pictory is that you can contribute to it too! So check out their upcoming themes and join in the fun. Who knows, your image and story might make it in. Good luck!
Awesome Animoto video of photos of the USCG Barque Eagle taken by Michael Barley via FB friend Rande Wilson. Enjoy!
