This is a wonderful year's diary of a girl's 2011 in LA, a few seconds at a time.
I think it speaks strongly to the power of visual imagery to spark memory and emotion.

Moment of Truth in Iraq by Michael Yon
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Steph was on TV on Wednesday and I get a mention on Engadget on Friday. Quite a week for us.

Photo gadget of the week is Steph's Gorilla Pod made by Joby http://www.joby.com/
It enables support/mounting of our pocket cameras and Steph's Canon 30D or 40D with a short lens just about anywhere.
It is a great device and it has come in very handy on numerous occasions.
Highly recommended.
