My Hope On Saturday
Spent some time on Saturday with some of my favorite people. What did you do?
Everyone knows OK Go from their famous treadmill video for their song “Here it Goes Again,” but I’m willing to bet you haven’t followed that band for a while and are definitely missing out on some awesomeness. Their new video for the song “This Too Shall Pass” is definitely a little more produced than their camera-on-a-tripod treadmill video, but it’s equally as enjoyable. Give this video a second to get going…it won’t let you down:

Flickr Faves
If you’re not a Flickr user, you can stop reading this and move on — if you are, stick around.
What you see above is a sampling of the photos that I have personally “fav’d” on Flickr over the years. As an avid photographer and Flickr lover, I actually take my fav’ing too seriously, but this new web application “ffffl*ckr” is pretty ffffreakin’ sweet. It pulls all your favorites in to one location (after you connect your account), and then shows them to you in a very visually appropriate way. As I see my own favorites I feel like I’m inside my head a bit — it’s kind of cool. Not because I’ve got all these amazing photos in my head, but because it tells me what interests me and what sticks out to me. Sometimes they are just funny or cute, but other times I feel like the photos I “fave” have depth and personality that I want in my own photography. I think of these photos as places I need to go in my own work and so I save them. I’m loving it.
I can’t stop listening to this song, and this video has beautiful tension:
