Wow. 2 events in one night. Both for a great cause. The MRI crew zipped around the city last night, and man did we get some great stuff. First we set up the booth at Gawker’s Blood Sweat and Beers event, then on uptown for the Museum of Arts and Design’s LED Ball. If you’d [...]

LightBomber: Show Us Your Lightbombs on Piictu!
posted: May 14th, 2012 / in Lightbomber
LightBomber is the featured app today on Piictu! What is Piictu? It’s a brilliant photo sharing app that allows you to share photos as part of a “stream”. Think of it like a conversation. Someone starts a topic (‘what’s in my pockets today’, for example) and then users from all over the world [...]
LightBomber: Versatility, Courtesy of an Alien Meat Sack
posted: May 10th, 2012 / in Lightbomber
Long exposures can take you to a lot of awesome places. One of our LightBombers, called AlienMeatSack is ready to go to every single one of those places. He’s taken LightBomber to its extremes, which not only resulted in some awesome feedback for us, it also resulted in some of our favorite work in the [...]
Inspiration: Gjon Mili’s Stroboscopic Portraits
posted: May 4th, 2012 / in Lightbomber / We Love This
There’s not a whole lot we can say about these photos, other than that they are incredible, they came from Gjon Mili, the man who famously shot Picasso making a lightpainting, and that we hope you find some inspiration in them. We did for sure. In fact, we’re going to take LightBomber for a stroboscopic [...]
LightBomber: Our Favorite Abstracts
posted: April 25th, 2012 / in Lightbomber
While cruising the LightBomber gallery (as we tend to do…all the time…) we started to notice these brilliant abstract patterns coming from our users. These kinds of photos are attractive for their mystery. A more “traditional” light painting will reveal a subject surrounded in light, and those are the ones that will hook you in [...]
We Love This: Squarepusher – “Dark Steering”
posted: April 12th, 2012 / in We Love This
Well this is unbelievable. Squarepusher utterly reinventing himself…with the greatest light rig ever. Ever. We’re about to LightBomb our computer screens. Album is called Ufabulum, out May 14th/15th. Yes. We will be there.
LightBomber: The “Eye” Of MAGNETRY
posted: April 2nd, 2012 / in Lightbomber
While cruising instagram we came across these LightBombs by an instagrammer named MAGNETRY. He was clearly having a great time with the app (at a hockey game no less), so we absolutely had to post his images. Part of the fun of LightBombing is “the eye” that you start to develop. You start to notice [...]

HUGE thanks to everyone who jumped into our photo booth at the Bing and Cheezburger event at SXSW. You guys were aces all around. Great ideas, great vibes, great music, troll faces and high fives. We couldn’t have asked for a better crowd. If you’re lookin for your photos, they should be up on the [...]
Lightbomber: The Wonderful LightBombs of fStop8
posted: February 29th, 2012 / in Lightbomber
Soon after launching LightBomber, we started to see these gorgeous high contrast fashion style shots from a mysterious user called fStop8. We were instantly obsessed, and anxiously awaited new work from this mystery shooter. Shot after shot blew our minds, so we wanted to post them here. But who was fStop? Clearly they were experienced. [...]
We Love This: Light Painting With a Roomba
posted: February 21st, 2012 / in We Love This
What you are looking at is a long exposure photograph of a bunch of LED-laden roombas (robo-vacuum cleaners) fighting for square footage in a dark, empty room. Brilliant. Controlling the path of light has always been an obsession of ours, and though orbs and such are cool, there is something really astonishing about the robotic [...]
