Sense and Nonsense

Best Marriage Proposal Ever

Hard to top this (via Crooks & Liars):

Isaac wanted to propose to his girlfriend, so he enlisted over 60 friends to stage a Busby Berkeley street-show lip-dub extravaganza ambush. What follows is five minutes of heart-stoppingly sweet and romantic wedding proposal. I mean: Z. O. M. F.G.

On Wednesday, May 23rd, 2012, I told my girlfriend to meet me at my parent's house for dinner. When she arrived I had stationed my brother to sit her in the back of an open Honda CRV and give her some headphones. He "wanted to play her a song"...

What she got instead was the world's first Live Lip-Dub Proposal.

Wow.  A beautiful work of art.  No special effects.  Just 12,000 pieces of laser-cut paper.  Read all about it here.

Photography to Admire

  This photograph by Luke Parsons shows the Travertine Waterfall on the
  Hanging Creek Trail outside Glenwood Springs, Colorado.   On his
  terrific website, Parsons says of this photo: "Last summer while hiking 
  up to Hanging Lake (along I-70 in Colorado), an overcast morning 
  made for perfect photographs of flowing water.  I stopped to take 
  this long-exposure photo of the water and mossy travertine rocks 
  in Dead Horse Creek."   See his other great photos at his website. 

  Also, for you fans of Karin Rosenthal's fabulous photography, take note 
  that you can see some of her abstract figure studies on display in the
  private room at the Panopticon Gallery in Kenmore Square (Boston)
  from June 9 to July 12.  

 

Landscape and Panoramic Photography

I urge you to check out the new website of an outstanding photographer, Luke Parsons, who specializes in landscapes and panoramic photos.   Here are two of the photos from his site:
