It is that time again! The annual Downingtown Christmas parade!
More images can also be found on my Flickr account – 2014 Downingtown Christmas Parade.
It was a little cold, but plenty of warm spirits!

I recently had a chance to photograph a friend of mine, as she slowly adds more ink to the various works of art that cover her body – A Work in Progress.
These were done in the studio with two Alien Bee B800s with Fotodiox Pro (32″ x 48″) Softboxes at about half power – 1/200 (sync) at f16 iso 100 – Canon EOS T5i & EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6
There are plans to do some more images in the future…
If you are interested in doing some studio work, please let me know.

Tonight was the All-Staff Meeting for the The Town Dish at Manatawny Still Works in Pottstown, and here are a few pictures from this wonderful event!
If you are into Whiskey, the spirits these folks produce is not bad, for a VERY YOUNG brew! (7 months)
A big hat tip to the folks at Manatawny Still Works for hosting the Meeting!

Some detail images taken during the All-Staff Meeting for the The Town Dish at Manatawny Still Works in Pottstown.
Not my best work, I would love to go back with a tripod, maybe some lights, and reshoot the Still Works…
I love the tones of metals like this…

This morning I was doing my daily social media check-in, and on one of my walls appeared a link to Fascinating: How Matter Reacts to Sound.
I got 41 seconds into the Link, and I had to jump to the YouTube link…
CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music – Nigel Stanford
I have been there pretty much ever since…
Cymatics is from Nigel Stanford’s new album, Solar Echoes, which is a Double Album download on iTunes and as mp3, wav files for only $9.95!
I have lost count of how many times I have listened to and watched this track!
It is mesmerizing!
The cinematographer,Timur Civan, captures nature “performing” to a mixture of well-crafted tones and beats similar to those found in Pink Floyd, Jean Michel Jarre, Rick Wakeman, Mike Oldfield, and Sky.
To my ear, it is very addicting and can induce some serious desk dancing.
What is also very cool is that Nigel Stanford, Shahir Daud (Director), Timur Civan, and gang have also posted six mini videos of how they created and filmed each of the classic science experiments performed in the video!
I can only imagine how much fun it would have been to take part in creating this video!
To say that they had way too much fun doing this video would be an understatement.
While listening to Cymatics, I started to explore the rest of his site, and found out why Nigel’s music and style seemed familiar to me!
TimeScapes was released at the end of 2011 and was an instant hit because of it’s stunning cinematography, slow motion capture, and music!
If you have not seen it, check out the Official Website and watch the clip!
If you have any interest in nature or science, and like great music, both CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music and TimeScapes are well worth your time!
If you happen to be a science teacher, the “Behind the Scenes” video for CYMATICS: Science Vs. Music are very well done, and are simple overviews of some classic science experiments, and should easily invite good conversations in the classroom.
Needless to say I can’t wait to show my kids when they get home!
