MSNBC 2009 Year in Pictures – again with audio, MSNBC uses news broadcasts, the voices of those pictured and a little music to push the drama.
Former Montana Photographer
Robin Loznak Featured on NPPA Visual Student
From The Visual Student blog:
The relentless hunt for good stand-alone feature photos would often drive me to look for wildlife. Because it was Montana, we always seemed to have animals around. Something I really enjoyed photographing in Kalispell was the interaction between people and wildlife....
I don’t really think of myself as a nature photographer. I think of myself as a photojournalist who takes nature pictures. I guess the difference is that I try to tell stories and capture moments in my nature photos.

Photographing to Celebrate and Commemorate
Chris Peterson: 100 days in Glacier National Park
Day 76, panorama: July 17, 2009 – Bighorn sheep, Haystack Butte. What can you say? I think I got everything I could have asked for in this picture. Rams herd up into bachelor groups in the summertime. While they're famous for knocking heads in the fall during the rut, they knock heads frequently in the summer as well. They're always jockeying for rank. - Photo by Chris Peterson from his 100 days in Glacier National Park project.

Living at home during a recession
Post Slide Show Features a Missoula Native
What surprises me is that the Post was willing to fund sending a photographer to Missoula. I have many friends who are professional photogs – sure, some of them may be living with their parents in Missoula as well – who really could have used the freelance and it could have saved the paper a few bucks in the process.
Check out the slide show on The Washington Post Web site.
Robert Caplin Time-lapse
Over 5,000 Images Make a Memorable Game 6
World Series Time-Lapse by Robert Caplin from Robert Caplin on Vimeo.
Photographer Robert Caplin, 26, combined over 5,000 images from 3 different cameras and about 25 separate locations to create this mesmerizing time-lapse video. Caplin said he shot a total of 12,000 still images which equates to about 125GB of RAW footage.
"Given that the time-lapse consisted only of still images and not video, the files were 3-4 times the size of HD video! Needless to say, my computer spent a good chunk of time rendering all the data." – From Robert Caplin's photoblog
The night is scored to Chopin's Waltz No. 5 which adds to the feeling that we're watching an old movie, something that fits very well with the sensibility of baseball.
