It’s surprising how many people I have no idea about is doing beatiful night photography. “Brian Chapman” - this name didn’t tell me anything until recent browsing session through Flickr photos belonging to “Night Images” group. Among outstanding works of known night photographers (like Troy Paiva, Andy Frazer or Lance Keimig) I found real gems belonging to Brian. He is photos are mostly monochromatic, and using square cropping (despite shooting with Canon’s Rebel XT) makes me think about Michael Kenna work, although it’s very clear that Brian is far from mindless copying somebody’s ideas. His work is original and exceptional. See his home page, and photos at Flickr.

This is my personal list of favourite blogs covering topics around productivity and self-development. I wanted to call it “best productivity blogs”, but I realised that blogosphere is big enough that I may not be aware of every interesting web page. If any genius is writing about self-development somewhere there, let me know in comments. The order is random - don’t take numbers to serious.

TED conferences (TED stands for Technology, Entertainment and Design) are not widely known. These conferences gather exceptional people from all over the world and dozens of them are given 20 minutes to talk about their passion. As you can guess, this may be something worth seeing. Fortunately few of this year’s talks are available online, as audio and video - at TED Talks. I recommend going there, as some of the talks are truly outstanding. Also, I believe that all you’ll find there today is not all material planned for release this year - video files are appearing in blocks of two or three every couple of weeks.
One short note, if you’ve already seen some of these talks. If you want to attend, plan it rather at 2008 because registration for 2007 event is closed already for couple of months.
