Photography’s Longest Exposure
Six months. That’s right. This dream-like picture shows each phase of the sun over Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge taken during half a year. The image was captured on a pin-hole camera made from an empty soda can with a 0.25mm aperture and a single sheet of photographic paper. Photographer Justin Quinnell strapped the camera to a telephone pole overlooking the Gorge, where it was left between December 19, 2007 and June 21, 2008—the Winter and Summer solstices. (That’s a 15,552,000 second exposure.) ‘Solargraph’ shows six months of the sun’s luminescent trails and its subtle change of course caused by the earth’s movement in orbit. The lowest arc being the first day of exposure on the Winter solstice, while the top curves were captured mid-Summer. (Dotted lines of light are the result of overcast days when the sun struggled to penetrate the cloud.) Quinnell, a renowned pin-hole camera artist, says the photograph took on a personal resonance after his father passed away on April 13—halfway through the exposure. He says the picture allows him to pinpoint the exact location of the sun in the sky at the moment of his father passing.

Project 6: A Prototype of a Game I designed.
This project focuses on motion and interaction. To place the focus on those two components exclusively, the visual elements will be minimal. The visual components of the game are restricted to two lines and two circles on the screen at a time.
Note: 11/30/2010
This game is currently in its prototype phase! Please comment and provide feedback of your gameplay experience. Your feedback is much appreciated!
Feel free to explore and understand the game mechanics without instructions.
Or, the gameplay is explained below;
—————————————————————————————-
A. ELEMENT BEHAVIOR
WHITE > BLACK > RED > WHITE (See Starting Screen and RECHARGE STATION)
B. RECHARGE STATION
- standby in the bottom RECHARGE STATION to replenish your ENERGY
- You have an ENERGY CAP.
- different sections of the RECHARGE STATION provide different ELEMENT BODY TYPES
C. COMBAT
- click to stream LAZER. Your lazer’s ELEMENT TYPE corresponds with your ELEMENT BODY TYPE
- streaming LAZER uses your own ENERGY. It is possible to self-terminate by overdrawing ENERGY from within
- Your ENERGY sphere automatically chooses between SHIELDBREAKER and KILLSHOT
[SHIELDBREAKER] targets enemy’s OVERSHIELD.
[KILLSHOT] targets enemy’s ENERGY sphere.
- navigating in enemy’s OVERSHIELD disrupts your ENERGY causing ENERGY LOSS
D. ELEMENT INTERACTION
- streaming energy to a target of weaker element type causes ENERGY DISRUPTION, causing target’s ENERGY LOSS.
- streaming energy to a target of the same element type causes ENERGY EMPOWERMENT, causing target to absorb streamer’s ENERGY rapidly.
- streaming energy to a target of stronger element is ineffective. ENERGY often disperse before reaching target ENERGY field.
Enjoy!
We have probably reblogged this a million times, but how could we not reblog it again. Look at them! I bagsy the top right one.
“…Aw, poop.”
“A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations. Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn’t stop smiling.”
We like the idea of photography as therapy, especially when the finished product is this good.

“Alright. So, I leave, then you leave in fifteen minutes, and then…then this forgotten.”
