Neon Museum, Las Vegas
Ever wonder what happens to all those neon signs that line the Las Vegas Strip when they’re taken down? They end up at the Neon Museum! The Neon Museum is a non-profit in Las Vegas dedicating to preserving Las Vegas’s iconic art form, and it’s a must-visit spot for great Instagram photos!

Mother Photographs Her Flying Baby
“I never throw him, and I never move him into a place in the frame that he wasn’t in to begin with,” Hulin said. “I like Henry to fly the way he feels like it, I never pose him in a specific way. Sometimes he’s graceful and sometimes he’s a little hunchback. I think telling you more would ruin it.”

When Jonathan Harris (PopTech 2007) turned 30, he began a simple ritual of taking one photo a day and posting it to his website before going to sleep, along with a short story. He called this project, ‘Today’.
This is a short film about Jonathan’s project, made a few weeks after he stopped it, by his friend, Scott Thrift at m ss ng p eces.Watch Jonathan’s talk about some of his other web based stories here.
Jonathan Harris gets it. I know this video is long, but watch it anyway. It is beautiful, and worth it.

Awesome story on Wired about a 360-degree panorama photograph that takes you inside Prague’s off-limits Baroque Library.

By the numbers:
868-year-old Strahov monastery library + 42,000 rare 18th century books + one fresco (45 feet above you, completed in 1794) + 2,947 photos + at least 111 hours’ worth of color correcting and digital stitching time = one stunning, 40-gigapixel, 360-degree image
On leaving his camera overnight in the hall, photographer Jeffrey Martin said: “That’s one advantage of shooting in an 18th-century library — my camera is the least valuable thing in the room.”
So cool.
