Beautiful snowboard movie. Incredible effect of lighting the snowboarder with a led suit

If I say snow and art, you are probably thinking snow sculptures, snow men and the sort. But just walking in the snow can create great art too! http://vimeo.com/35890182

A cool new resource has surfaced for those into digital media (photography and other digital media). O’Reilly Digital Media Center From PhotographyBLOG: “As our digital media books continue to roll off the presses, we realized that we hadn’t provided an online meeting place for this community. As of today, that’s changed.
