One of my favorite things about Marketplace is the depth of imagery you can find on a subject. Check out this link to see more images of Kelly Slater. The portraits, action shots and entertainment shots provide a wide range of images from a variety of photographers and provide plenty of visual fodder to support a wide ranges of designs.

With Bush and Putin meeting at the G8 summit amid press coverage around increasing tensions between the U.S. and Russia, I found this image of Boris Yeltsin by Anthony Suau that says so much to me about the Russia's desire to leave its Soviet history behind and enter a new era.

Bond Freyer captioned this image "A close up of a South African lion just after he took a big yawn. His face is pulled in a funny way, showing his teeth.". I thought "yikes" when I first looked at it - then I wondered if he'd like to have his teeth brushed.

With summer upon us and its requisite summer road trip pending, I found this motorcycle rider's eye view of Oak Creek Canyon, Sedona, Arizona making me wish it was vacation time already.

I love the vibrant colors in this image as well as the pattern the flamingos create.

The composition of this image caught my eye and then the caption really made me stop - "Charlie and Ouida (89 and 83 years old) have been dancing their entire lives. She was trained as a beautician, and although Charlie is quite sick, they still go out dancing at least a few times a week. Here they are at the Senior Tea Dance at Brec's Independence Park 's Rec. Center in Baton Rouge, LA on Wednesday, November 29, 2006.". What a great story.

The windblown boulders at the "Racetrack" at Death Valley National Park create beautiful patterns within the starkness of the desert.

Ever try to catch the perfect wave? Digital Railroad Member Rick Doyle, based in Hawaii, USA, has perfected the technique and tells all:
"I had been experimenting with waterproof camera housings that I mounted to surfboards, wakeboards and water-skis for several years. It was during the winter of ‘88/89 that I attached a still camera to a San Diego Chargers NFL football helmet, screwed it onto Pro surfer, Liam McNamara’s head and shot Pipeline, (one of the most dangerous waves in the world), from the surfers perspective. After overcoming technical problems and flying to and from Hawaii over a period of three months I was rewarded with some sharp, colorful and unique perspectives from inside the barrel at Pipeline. Two waterproof housings were made and attached to the helmet. One held the camera and lens, the other, the radio electronics needed to fire the camera. The camera and electronics housings were counterbalanced with the addition of a small weight mounted to the opposite side of the helmet. The total weight of the contraption was ten pounds."

As Brian Wilson says, "Catch a wave and you're sittin' on top of the world!"

The Daily Show interviewed author Steve Vogel about his new book The Pentagon: A History the other night and I found the history behind the building fascinating. For example, did you know that the first proposed location of the Pentagon was protested by the local arts commission?

More than any other kind of commercial work, the art and craft of food photography is to make the effort invisible. This food image is an excellent example of a successful shot. The cookies are perfect and appetizing, the lighting excellent but unobtrusive and the composition very pleasing. All I need is a glass of milk!
