Julien Brenton – Light Calligraphy

I’ve seen a lot of ‘light writing‘ photos on the internet, and they can vary in quality and creativity, but this weekend I found the best example to date. Julien Brenton does a lot of work with Arabic Calligraphy, and has moved to going some very powerful pieces with light writing. The examples below are bad screen caps, check it out here for better resolution.

Fire

I’ll admit it, I am an incurable carnie. I love circuses and performing and being that weird guy who juggles for no reason. I do a lot of photography of flowers and mushrooms, but if there is one subject I find the most fascinating, the most alive and dynamic, it is fire. I have harbored a healthy fascination and respect for fire for as long as I can remember, and good photography locks the liquid properties of fire for everyone to appreciate.  I’ve followed Tom Lacoste on DeviantArt for years, before he quit DA earlier last year. I tracked his work down to a flicker account for everyone to enjoy. The pictures below link to different sections, click on his name to see the full set.

Daniel Rozin’s Magnificent Mirrors

Daniel Rozin is an interactive artist who works around the concept of mirrors, making many different pieces that reflect the work around them using shadows on tilting ‘pixels’. The videos below are demonstrations of my favorite two, but check out youtube for the many others.
