TiltShift Knoxville
Here are a couple of nice tiltshift shots of downtown Knoxville, Tennessee. Tiltshift photos are photos of real locations manipulated to look like minatures. I created these particular images via TiltShiftMaker.com.

I read about Posterous in Newsweek, so I thought I would drop by and check things out.
Trailer for Spike Lee's WWII Film
Miracle at St. Anna, a Spike Lee film, tells the story of four black American soldiers, members of the all-black 92nd "Buffalo Soldier" division, stationed in Tuscany, Italy during WWII. Given my penchant for WWII films, I look forward to seeing this one when it comes out.

Tijuana and San Diego Photos
Last week, Beth and I arrived back from our 2008 Mexico Mission Trip in the wee
hours of Wednesday morning. We spent July 19 through 26 in Mexico
followed by a couple of days in San Diego. The trip exceeded our
expectations. We are blessed with some great friends in Mexico, and our time spent with the women at the Women with Purpose Shelter was a treasure. I've started writing some of my reflections, and I hope to publish them in
the coming weeks. In the meantime, enjoy some photos from our trip:

Light a Candle, Magically
I've known about this trick for a while (I think I saw it on Mr. Wizard when I was a kid); however, I have yet to personally meet anyone who is familiar with it. The video included with this post demonstrates the trick:
- Blow out a lit candle.
- Allow the smoke to rise from the wick.
- Hold a flame in the smoke rising from the wick.
- Watch as the candle "magically" re-lights.
If I remember correctly, I believe what's happening is that the flame causes the combustible materials in the smoke to ignite sending the flame back down the smoke to the wick.
Have you ever seen this trick before?
