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.

The blog has started strong with Internship Q&As with The Oregonian, The Dallas Morning News and the St. Petersburg Times, among others. 2008 College Photographer of the Year Tim Hussin writes about editing portfolios for the CPOY contest and Angela Shoemaker discusses applying for a Fulbright grant. The site also contains links to grants and scholarships as well as competitions and other Web sites of interest.
This has the makings of a great resource for students and professionals alike.
