The Mars Rover Opportunity has spent 3 years trekking on the Mars surface and returning thousands of images of the red planet. During its trip from Victoria crater to Endeavour crater, it captured a horizon photograph at the end of each drive, sometimes looking back at where it has traveled. Of these, 309 images were put together to make this time lapse video. It is simply amazing to see how much this rover has gone over sand and rough terrain.

Nothing perks up an old place like a good coat of paint. This Soviet-era factory is grey and drab but watch how “a few gallons” of bright paint (in fact, 200 tons of paint were used) turns this glum plant into an almost cheerful place.

MÖBIUS from ENESS on Vimeo.

MÖBIUS is a collaborative stop motion sculpture consisting of 21 large triangles that can be configured into many cyclical patterns. Depending on how you’re looking at it and how the triangles are arranged, it looks like it’s either eating itself and/or slinking into the ground. MÖBIUS was animated over two weeks Friday, Saturday & Sunday between the 6th – 20th of May 2011. When played back, the stop motion video becomes an optical illusion of people interacting with the sculpture and moving through Melbourne’s landmark location throughout the day.

Is it still worth doing a degree in photojournalism? Where is the work going to come from? Well, if photojournalism is what you are interested in, head over to robgalbraith for a great article on Joel Hawsksley who has only two quarters left before graduating from Ohio University (OU) with a degree in photojournalism.

Meanwhile (and here’s the missing advice for most would be photojournalists) he is already working as staff photographer for the OU Athletic Department and as official photographer for OU’s marching band. He also does freelance assignments whenever they are available. In addition, he does internships at newspapers (one at The Grand Rapids (MI) Press last year and currently at The Seattle Times). As such, his work is already widely known so when he goes knocking on door, he will already have an impressive portfolio to show.

He shoots about 100 athletic events a year and get to use pretty sophisticated photographic equipment. It helps that Nikon sponsors the OU photojournalism department.

Where to after OU? A newspaper gig is not out of the question but Hawksley is eyeing a marketing organization.
