http://bit.ly/1IhtFuh 2015 Future of StoryTelling Summit Speaker: Clint Smith Teacher and Poet Societal problems like racism and inequality often feel overwhelming. Clint Smith sees a possible remedy: storytelling. Through his work as a poet, educator, and activist, including an innovative program at the Massachusetts Department of Corrections, Smith often confronts how we’re socialized to simplify others down to their race, their class, or even just their worst moment. The same is being done to us, and thus our lives can feel riven by social divides. But if we learn to tell our own stories—to explore our emotions, and to captivate the emotions of others—we can fully engage with our shared humanity. Smith’s experience as a poet has made him adept at teaching these key storytelling tools, which he’ll be sharing at this year’s FoST.

“ WANDER IN TURKEY ” is one of my travel series video. I really like having no plans when i’m in unfamiliar place. I just wanders which makes me face unplanned situations and people. Sometimes I can melt into their daily life and have a deep relationship. After walking camino in spain , i went to porto for having a break time. And then, i fell in love with its scenery, people, colors and so on. I decided to capture its beauty and stay more than i expected. Hope you enjoy my video.

Zephyr by TedGore
One of the experiences I desired to have while in Patagonia was the hurricane force winds of Torre Del Paine, and they obliged in full force while I was there. On this particular morning, it was third day of high winds that I had experienced, and I spent the prior two days just trying to figure out how to manage shooting a photograph in them. I woke to unfavorable skies at the front end of several days of rain that was coming into the area, and despite it not looking great, I went anyway because I knew this was probably my last chance as the winds where forecast to die down that day. I have no way of telling how hard the wind was actually blowing, but forecasts were suggesting that the gusts were somewhere in the vicinity of 80mph! It is unreal, and easily the most exciting time I’ve spent shooting photography so far… on par with shooting the lava ocean entry on the Hawaiian islands. I have no way to describe the feeling, so I found a video on youtube that demonstrates the experience pretty well. WATCH THIS, and then imagine being in the water, behind a camera, trying to take pictures. Yeah. Just insanity. So despite the seemingly unfavorable skies, there was just enough of a break that allowed the rising sun to power through a bit as the clouds of lake mist, picked up off the surface of the lake and rocketed across the landscape from the high winds. There were points where all I could do was brace myself, and my tripod, lean into the gust and wait for it pass, hopefully getting a few shots off in the meantime. I have another image from the same morning that focuses more on the chaos of wind and waves. I liked the leading lines formed by the wind blown, ocean like waves on the turquoise waters of Lago Nordenskjold. On my hike back, while cresting over a small hill where the winds where particularly strong, a gust began to pick up small pebbles and pelt my backside with them. All I could do was lay down and use my pack as a shield until the gust passed. Just craziness, and such an awesome experience. via 500px http://bit.ly/1VUzvsD

‘The Sandman’ is a short film featuring the Trona, California High School Football team as they train and go through Hell Week in preparation for the upcoming Fall 2015 season. Directed by Diego Contreras. Created for the http://bit.ly/1gvbE2U series | No. 7 Inspired by the biblical story of Jericho, where the Israelites marched and shouted around the fortified wall of an impenetrable city for 7 days, and 7 times on the 7th day. As the army shouted, the walls collapsed, and they took over the city. The film presents the Trona team doing their powerful chants 7 times as they prepare to go to battle against teams much larger than their own. It’s been an honor getting to know and hang out with these kids and the beautiful people of Trona. I’ve been heavily inspired by the coach and his team’s passion, faith, and brotherhood. I hope this film can inspire others as much as they inspired me. — Director: Diego Contreras Producer: Jens Jacob Co-Producer: Scott Davis Director of Photography: Daniel Stewart Editor / Color / Sound Design: Diego Contreras Production Manager: Cara Venter Gaffer: Keitaro Cloward Location Audio Mixer: Mathew Williams Production Company: Sypher Films Director Representation: Bullitt Featuring The Trona Sandman: Coach Curtis Boutte Asst.

Before a terrible storm by DSFCA
Before a terrible storm...my friend was driving, gradually, the clouds thickened and we saw it...we jumped out of the car to catch this phenomenon. A strong wind was blowing and without a tripod to shoot was incredibly difficult, but the tripod we had so we knelt down and shot a panorama. In 20 metres from us was struck by a tremendous lightning and every minute was scary...suddenly the cloud began to change shape, turning into a giant jellyfish with a bluish tentacles. Next was to remove hazardous to life because the cloud was almost upon us. via 500px http://bit.ly/1eDQCx1
I spent two months living in Joshua Tree following artist Tom Jean Webb as he prepared for his solo show ‘Tomorrow’s Flames Are Already Burning’ at the DEN Gallery in Austin, Texas in early 2015.

Special thanks to Dan & Kate O'Connell for letting me use their camera and allowing us stay at their house in Joshua Tree for a few hot wintry desert months, Heather Williamson for her help and the generous time of everyone involved in creating this. – I asked the coyote if he was afraid On the sun baked highway run His creeping shadow grew And darkened the falling sun Who lit the flame Asks the man each night That the wind couldnt put out When the sun burned its last light Amongst the cactus trees Time struggles in the sand With no soil for seeds But the snakes rattling hand Meet me in the highway Under the silver moon You’ll hear the trembling bones Of the dead mans croon And the ground shakes and howls As the sun comes back around The coyote lies quick still As his shadow shrinks back down Now he walks alone And wanders if he was afraid Towards the silent warmth of light Amongst the desert decay

I've shot this under a variety of conditions, but I ended up choosing an afternoon with a rather blue sky for the contrast it made with the red landscape.

Gyrecraft is an exploration into maritime crafts which exists in every coastal or island culture around the world each with its own unique identity, utilising what the sea provides. Many of these crafts took place onboard boats during long voyages as a way of making vital repairs or passing the time at sea.

The most I had spent prior to this was seven total days and that was last year. What I came away with from that short time made me realize that if I could double that…the stuff I could capture would be amazing. Of course I long to be out there for a month or longer, but when you live in Phoenix and have a wife and three kids…you have to be realistic. I turned 40 years old this year and I told my wife all I wanted was 10 days chasing on the plains. She loves me though and it ended up being 14! Two days in April and then 12 straight days from May 23rd - June 3rd. Those 12 days were absolutely incredible. I’m friends with other chasers via social media, met them on the side of roads while chasing, even grabbed dinner together…but never have I felt more of a part of the chaser community than being out there for almost two weeks. Living the life…seeing the same amazing chasers over and over…it was overwhelming to me. I missed my family, it was hard at times, but it was one of the best experiences of my life. Both chases originated from where I live in Arizona. In April I drove out all night to Colorado, slept maybe an hour, chased all day, got a good night’s sleep, chased the next day in the Texas panhandle and drove home that same night, stopping only for a quick nap in New Mexico. The second chase was the same. Left Phoenix late on the evening of May 22nd, never really slept and the chase was on the next day. All in all I drove well over 12,000 miles over the course of those two weeks, visited 10 total states (New Mexico, Texas, Kansas, Oklahoma, Colorado, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana and North Dakota) and shot over 45,000 frames of footage for this film. I have many people to thank. Pat O'Brien for being my first private tour attendee this spring. Mike Mezeul II for one very big tip on a spot above Rapid City, SD. To James Langford who not only guided me to that spot over the phone, but “now-casted” for me many, many times. I may have missed out on four crucial clips in this film if it wasn’t for him suggesting I punch the core in South Dakota. Thank you sir. And to my pal Andy Hoeland…who was with me for over a week of my time out there, driving, looking at forecasts, talking to weather experts and always helping us have a great target for that day. He’s become my chase partner for most of these big plains trips and I wouldn’t have it any other way. Also thanks to Cinetics (http://bit.ly/1JhP5d1) for sending me their Axis 360 to play with. I used it one time in this film and wish I had used it more. I love that scene. Finally…above everyone else, of course…is my wife. To let me go for that long, to never complain, to never discourage me…but to only believe in me…how could I be so lucky to deserve a wife like that? We have three kids and that’s tough on a parent to have her husband away that long. It will never cease to amaze me that I would not be here, doing this, if it wasn’t for her support and encouragement. Technical details…everything was shot on Canon 5D3’s, along with an array of Rokinon lenses. I got sick of lens-twisting (mostly of FORGETTING to lens twist) so I mainly used those manual lenses on this trip. Everything was processed using LR Timelapse, Lightroom, After Effects and Premiere Pro. I’m in absolute love with this film. The stuff I saw rivaled anything I’ve ever seen on the plains minus that insane Booker supercell in 2013. We saw four tornadoes (one of them appears in a deleted scene at the very end of the film), countless supercells, gorgeous shelf clouds, stunning mammatus and some awesome lightning shows. The song..well, the song for this film blew my mind. I loved it when I heard it, but then seeing how everything started coming together on the timeline, the pace, the slow build-up, the huge ending…I’ve said it before, but the song is 50% of the film. Thank you again Kerry for everything! All this movie does it fuel me to want to do better next year and this summer in Arizona. Stay tuned for Monsoon II and for The Chase II next spring! I sincerely hope you enjoy and share this film around. Thank you!

http://bit.ly/1Vuy2sO Our first trip to China was an eye opener. The sights, the sounds, the smells, all new to us. We traveled more than 10,000 miles to end up in the remote city of Lanzhou - an industrial mecca surrounded by ancient beauty. The city is a bustling metropolis that caters to more than a 2 million and it was our goal to showcase it like never before… from above. Utilizing drone technology, we traveled hours outside of the city to capture remote villages, climbed the highest mountain range to reveal the massive size of the city and toured sacred temples that had never been filmed like this before. Our 20 day trip wasn’t without challenges. It rained more than 60% of the time, which made operating our drone a difficult task. We managed to move around the weather to capture as much footage as we could before the journey ended and managed to capture some incredible sights in the process. The people of China were incredibly floored to see this type of technology being used in their city. It was odd enough to see 2 white guys from the states in a city that rarely has foreign tourists but to see a quad copter flying above the city and historical sites really drew their attention. Their hospitality and kindness made for a very fulfilling trip. We will return to China with out a doubt. Upon returning to the states we discovered the incredible talent of the Indian Jam Project, a music group from India, which covers movies themes/scores and replays them with a delightful twist. Their latest creation, which covers Han Zimmer’s, “First Step” and “Stay”, captivated us and really conveyed a sense of peace and wonderment. The adaptations are arranged and composed by Tushar Lall.

Window in Time by MAPhoto
Eleven years ago I made an image in Seal Rocks State Park, Oregon, which in many ways ended up shaping my future transition from purely a wilderness photography enthusiast to a full-time global landscape photography professional, and that image was of this place you see here. I exposed one and a half rolls of Velvia 50 film with my Canon EOS 3 at ¼ second apiece using a polarizing filter and 2-step soft grad. One of those fifty shots, without Photoshop, went on to win the highest honor in the Environmental Photo Invitational, one of the day’s biggest contests, and through that avenue I was able to meet Art Wolfe and later exhibit a dozen prints at his gallery in Seattle. More than the exposure though, this 26 year-old decided that maybe this pursuit of photography could lead to more than just winning a contest. And eleven years later here we are. So it is interesting, the relationship with the art of photography this place has for me. I have been back here many times over many years and through those years the art has changed so much! How we capture images has changed, the way we process and blend now, even the look and feel that is most desirable or popular has changed. My own style has evolved with it because I am always embracing new ways of seeing, I am always trying new things. What would that 2004 image look like if it were taken today? Well, today I made one that looks like this. For one thing, time and repeated visits to the location have resulted in a lot of variations in the light and skies that I have photographed. More than that, the finite control over every tiny speck of color, contrast, exposure, etc. is more than any photographer in any past era could have dreamed and to suggest otherwise is nonsense. The addition of blending, shaping, perspective control, etc. has opened the door to fully customizable renderings of the action, with the artist in the driver’s seat and their imagination and artistic ability the only limitations. The addition of painting, literally painting, the atmosphere, diffusion, glow, light, mist, whatever….. sometimes it feels like there are no boundaries now if you have a good eye in the filed and a knowledge for how to use the tools later. But somehow, in all of this seemingly limitless freedom we enjoy in this age of photography, I feel the art is harder in many ways as well. Any of us at the highest level know it is not about relying on software to do anything for you, and that the fundamentals of good composition and exposure always remain truly integral to success. But our final composition may be about visualizing many shots or perspectives or techniques in the field and knowing, while we are on the scene, how we might blend and create and fulfill our vision in post-production. In a way, that is the ‘performance’ in this age. Today there are more photographers than ever before in history and more sharing of photography. From a technical aspect, everyone has tools these days to take the type of good photos that used to require professionals who were intimately in tune with their cameras. But to stand out from a crowd artistically often takes a special ability to visualize the many steps of a far more complex artistic process. All this is not to diminish great photographs of the past, but rather say simply that I view this age as one filled with more possibilities than ever before. There have always been great images that will stand the test of time, but we now have more control than ever in the direction we take the art. On the rare occasion I return to a location to photograph it many times over many years it gets me thinking about this transition I have made, and we have all made. I never re-process my old photos anymore. I like that I have been doing this long enough at a time that has seen more change than any in the history of the art, and that my pictures will be representative of that. I like that I still have film shots on my website and images that could of course be brought up to a more modern vision, but why? Isn’t art about capturing a moment in history, a feeling or a place in time as well? So right now, this is what we have. I caught a great moment of light at Seal Rocks, made a blend of 3 shots for wave action (albeit 80% of it was 1 exposure) and I spent about 2 hours in post production on the rest, fulfilling the vision that I had in the field. via 500px http://bit.ly/1gOipwz

Wahe Flow by MaxFoster
"Wahe Flow" – Wahe Falls on Moffett Creek, Columbia River Gorge, OR “Like” my photography page on Facebook:TheWorldExplored Purchase a print:Print Shop On my first full day in the Gorge area, I planned on hitting as many waterfalls as possible. I started with the easiest hikes in order to avoid the crowds, and was on trail at 5AM. By 3PM I had hiked to 7 different falls and was in need of a nap. Considering I only had a couple days in Oregon though, I decided to scratch the nap and head to Wahe. The hike itself is really a lot of fun if you have energy. In hindsight I should have started the day with this rather than ended with it. Getting to Wahe entails hiking gorge trail #400 and then hiking in the water of Moffett creek until you get to the falls. The nicest part of this hike is that I didn’t see another person the entire time, which is quite a contrast to some of the gorge hot spots. Round trip from the Elowah parking lot was about 4 hours and I was beat when I got back. Anyway, it was a jam packed day that was totally worth it!

Byron Ballooning by PeterEastway
The view from the balloon on the second morning - yes, I was lucky! I had two flights! Photographed with the new Canon EOS 5DSR and a 70-200mm Canon L series zoom. Check out Byron Bay Ballooning next time you're up there. I have finally been able to play more seriously with the new Canon EOS 5DSR, the latest 50-megapixel DSLR and, along with its cousin the 5DS, the only 50-megapixel DSLR! Canon hosted a Tales By Light weekend festival up in Byron Bay early this month and I was lucky enough to be invited along with Darren Jew and Krystle Wright. We got to meet some great people, print some photos, watch some movies and go on some amazing shoots. I think Krystle and I were the fortunate ones because we took two balloon rides over the idyllic Byron Bay hinterlands. Sorry, Darren! Shooting from a balloon is deceptive. It's usually so still you hardly feel you're moving. However, you certainly can be moving quite quickly and the trick is to keep your shutter speeds up to avoid subject blur. Standing in the balloon, you'd be forgiven for thinking 1/30 second was fast enough, and sometimes when the balloon is stationary it is, but to be safe, I'd be shooting at at least 1/125 second. And for the larger sensor cameras (36-megapixels and up), I'd push that to 1/250 or even 1/500 second. This is just a rule of thumb - the shutter speed you need will be dependent on how fast you're moving as well as how close you are to the ground. The compromise with fast shutter speeds is either wider apertures which might not be quite as sharp as mid-range apertures, or higher ISO speeds which can introduce noise. This is especially an issue in the dawn light before the sun comes up, but essentially you have a choice of sharp photos or 'grainy' ones. I like sharp ones! Personally, I don't mind a little texture in my photos and, when shooting with 50-megapixels, you find the noise greatly disappears when you're making smaller prints or posting them on the web. And let's not be too critical about all this. While there is more noise than the EOS-1 DX, for instance, what noise is there is a very minor concern for what is being offered. My first impressions of the EOS 5DSR are very positive and that it has a superb sensor. The limiting factor will be some of my older lenses. Canon is on a winner here and, yes, I have bought one! #talesbylight #canonaustralia #canoncollective via 500px http://bit.ly/1JpclkQ

Horizon as a limit to a known world, a point of no return where knowledge ends and an unknown world begins. The horizion with time abandons that mysterious aura of “place” beyond which provokes death. Now this carries positive meaning that thanks to knowledge makes that border (between the sky and earth), a vision towards a new future. Thanks to the horizon that continuously embraces us, we have purpose, a creative place to constantly exceed. As an everlasting challenge, the horizon line is always ready to remind us about our limits, pushing us in every endeavour, joining possibilities. Everything depends on the point of view, and how we look at this immense line. The horizion as a point of arrival, Horizion as a starting point. Horizon is a reconsideration of the concept of the horizion through an array of 1500 panoramic photographs, a video thought of as a infinite trace that encloses Sicily in a photographic itinerary at full speed, allowing the eye of the public to perceive a unique, infinite horizion. In Horizon two concepts of horizions are established: in the real horizon we see the tangible and limited view, which is overlapped by the imaginary one, a source of innovation and discovery, overcoming limits. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Orizzonte come limite al mondo conosciuto, punto di non ritorno in cui termina il sapere ed inizia un territorio sconosciuto. L’orizzonte con i secoli abbandona quell’aura misteriosa di “luogo” oltre il quale scorgersi provocava la morte, ora questo si carica di accezioni positive che, grazie al sapere, rendono quel confine ( tra cielo e terra), una visione propizia verso un futuro in arrivo. Grazie al “circolo massimo” che ininterrottamente ci abbraccia, noi abbiamo un traguardo, un luogo immaginifico da superare costantemente. Come una sfida imperitura, la linea d’orizzonte è sempre pronta a ricordarci i nostri limiti, a spingerci in ogni impresa come un aggregatore di possibilità. Tutto dipende dal punto di vista, nel modo con cui noi ci poniamo di fronte a questa immensa linea. Orizzonte come punto d’arrivo, orizzonte come punto da cui partire. Horizon è una rivisitazione del concetto di orizzonte attraverso una carrellata fotografica di 1500 immagini panoramiche, un video pensato come un tracciato infinito che avvolge la Sicilia in un percorso fotografico a tutta velocità, lasciando percepire all’occhio dello spettatore un unico, infinito orizzonte. In Horizon si fondono due concetti di orizzonte: a quello reale che mostra una visione tangibile e limitata della realtà, si sovrappone un orizzonte fantastico, fonte di innovazione, di scoperta e di superamento dei limiti.
