Astronaut Leroy Chiao's Space Blog-postcard of Bolivia

This is an interesting shot of a glacier flowing into a lake partially brightened by sunglint. It was fairly cloudy on that orbit over South America, but I caught this through the clouds. Using sunglint is a very effective technique for illuminating sub-surface features in water. But, it also can be used to create a dramatic effect which is aesthetically pleasing. Note the visible rivers in this photo, especially the one on the right side of the lake. Under normal lighting, these would have been very difficult to see.

“The early Sixties have been good to me lately,” said Darren Pettie, whose diverse roles circa 1960′s include his turn as Lucky Strike scion Lee Garner, Jr. in several episodes of the critically acclaimed and award winning AMC TV series “Mad Men”; as James in Atlantic’s Off-Broadway production of Harold Pinter’s The Collection penned in 1961; and as Christopher Flanders in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s current production of Tennessee Williams’ The Milk Train Doesn’t Stop Here Anymore, with Olympia Dukakis, set in 1962.

Cinematographer Larry Fong chatted with Suzanne Joe Kai just as SUPER 8 was making its opening weekend debut in theaters nationwide claiming the #1 spot at the box office.  SUPER 8 is directed by J.J. Abrams and produced by Steven Speilberg.

Larry Fong began his career shooting hundreds of commercials and award-winning music videos. Beginning in junior high school, he taught himself still photography, cel and stop motion animation, and filmmaking using a Super 8 camera. He graduated from UCLA with a B.A. in Linguistics, and specilized in film and photography at the Art Center of Design in Pasadena.

His music videos for R.E.M., Van Halen, and Goo Goo Dolls earned him three MTV Video Music Awards for Video of the Year. He went on to film two independent films and TV projects, including the pilot for the LOST television series, which earned him an ASC award nomination.

In 2007, his first major studio film "300" was released, directed by fellow Art Center of Design classmate Zack Snyder. in 2009, he was the Director of Photography for "Watchmen" and in 2011 for "Sucker Punch" also directed by Zack Snyder, and "SUPER 8" directed by childhood friend J.J. Abrams, and producer Steven Spielberg.
