Pour a Colortini for Tom

Tom Snyder, a TV favourite of mine from days gone by, has passed away at age 71. I always loved his style. His catch phrase: "Fire up a colortini, sit back, relax, and watch the pictures, now, as they fly through the air."

Bye, Tom.

Impressive hi-res panoramic view of Harlem. Artist Gerard Maynard took more than 2000 photos over a 2 hour period, then stitched them together. You can zoom from the roof all the way into distant windows.

War

Short, but powerful Guardian Unlimited video documentary.

Photographer and filmmmaker Sean Smith spent 2 months with American soldiers in Iraq. The footage he got is intense, heartbreaking and enlightening.
