You photography nerds out there will appreciate this more than the rest of you folks, but the once pre-order only Nikon thermos is now available. If for some reason you have a brand allegiance, Canon is supposed to have on also. Price is set at a reasonable $23. [PDNEDU]

As many of you know, I am a big fan of the new Canon line of cameras that shoot video as well as beautiful photos. In the following video, experience what you can do with a bit of time and talent with one of these cameras. via vimeo

What is your favorite 80s song?
LaDiDaDi by Doug E. Fresh & Slick Rick the Ruler.  I just remember when ever it came on the radio, I would stop everything I was doing to listen to it. I had this little black and white radio, that dubbed as a TV tuner and I would search the stations all day between New York’s 107.5 WBLS and 98.7 Kiss FM waiting for the song to come on. One time me and my mom were rushing out the house, LaDiDaDi was on, she turned the radio off for us to leave, and I went completely ape shit. And by the time I got to my little black and white radio and got it to the station… all i heard was “tick tock you dont quit.. Hit it…” I was livid, but I got over it.

Describe the last dream you had.
The last dream I had that I remember was about fish. And we all know what that means… But I don’t think I sleep long enough to dream. I am always awake. I will say that I do have this recurring dream that my photography and graphic design business continues to grow.

Favorite book?
Can’t say that I have a favorite book. But some of my favorite authors include Walter Mosley, Eric Jerome Dickey, Travis Hunter. I just cracked open Stephen King’s “Bag Of Bones.” With a full time job and a side hustle, no telling when I’m gonna finish reading it.

The gadget you can’t live without is
I have three: my Blackberry, one of my 4 Nikons, and my iPod
- I Use my Blackberry to connect to the world
- I use my Nikon to capture the world
- And I use my iPod to escape the world around me

I have neither the skill or ambition to create such a beautiful project. However, it does look absolutely amazing! Check out the video below created by Australian based animation company ‘Dee Pee Studios. [via LH]

I could give you a long speech about how beautiful this looks, but I would not do it any justice. Watch and enjoy the beauty that is released from a Canon 1D Mark IV in the hands of Phillip Bloom.

I am a huge fan of awesome photography. A new form of photography I have learned about is called tilt-shift photography. it makes everything look like toys. If done right, it is stunning. Bravo HP!

Helmut Newton (on the right) is responsible for Sumo, one of the greatest photography books in the 20th century

“I don’t even look at it as a book. I look at it as an object,”- Helumut Newton, Vanity Fair

TASCHEN Books celebrates the 10th Anniversary Edition (reprint) of Helmut Newton’s book, Sumo.

Sumo, known as the “Titantic book” due to its size, weight, dimensions and resale price, is a 480-page book which displays Newton’s best work throughout his lifetime. The book established a new archetype for the art monograph genre, and secured a significant place in photo book history. Many call Newton’s work genius because he had a knack for merging fashion and erotica seamlessly.

The 10th Anniversary Edition shares the same DNA as the original record-breaking Limited Edition, which has quintupled in price since its publication in 1999.

Sumo can be purchased in-store or online.
