Very cool! At first I thought it was this guy but no (Flickr stream). Still some incredible shots though.

I see Mr. Bergman is doing his part to remind everyone how truly beautiful life is.

Those pictures make me want to go back to the islands

So pretty and inspiring. They look like the Motivation posters without the stupid sayings on them. Much better this way!

Double post.

The photos are still nice though.

You posted it twice in a row, Brockstar. Suspicious.

When you said long exposure, I thought you were meaning that guy who puts litho plates in a pinhole camera, and uses exposure times measured in years ...

Those are nice.
This is an enlightening shot from Sam of ddoi.

This just in! - When using a tripod, moving objects smear on long exposure photographs while stationary objects do not. Film at 11:00

Like those taken by Michael Wesely of the Museum of Modern Art while it was under reconstruction.

Some of those don't appear to be long exposure at all, unless he's taught birds to sit absolutely still for extended periods of time.

...

BUT, very nice photographs indeed. I'm not going to be ALL negative.

*shrug* sorry, I'm a sucker for his photos. I figured everyone who missed it last time would appreciate it and the people who'd already seen it would like to know he's updating again.

My guess, Brockstar, is that people who found him interesting the first time around will have bookmarked him and thus be aware he's updating. Yes, it's a good link but regurgitating your own links is sort of weird.

I'm thinking of it as performance art. It's sort of weird but you can't quite fault me for it.

That's what you think.

Karen Finley + Alfalfa Sprouts + Chocolate Syrup = Performance Art

Brockstar + Posting Same 2 links = Double Post

The benefit of posting your own double post is you can't be blamed for not doing a thorough search.

I go to his site quite often - you'd think he'd have the courtesy to remove the "updated every day" subhead. His calendar indicates only 4 posts this month.

Weird? What's weird about it?


I liked "Number 26". The person on the lifeguard tower looks like a ghost.

Ignore the naysayers brockstar. I missed the first post and liked it. Thanks.
