Maaaaaaan…summer. One the one hand, its blazin hot and you need to take two showers a day, on the other hand, EVERYTHING AWESOME happens during the summer. There’s shows, rooftop parties, barbecues, cracked open fire hydrants, and the constant singing of ice cream trucks. So you throw on sunscreen, practice your day drinkin’, stock up [...]

Immaculate Infatuation is a local NYC-based food blog run by two music-biz guys who take a pretty relaxed approach to the daunting NYC food scene. They’re also our friends. So when they were looking for a photographer to shoot one [...]
VBS.TV just posted this episode of “Motherboard”, focusing on the wearable light art of Janet Hansen. All we can really say about this is just WANT! and other explosive declarations of love for this kind of stuff. Her LED fur coat, the Daft Punk suits, and the outfits she made for MIA’s dancers are our [...]
Its no secret that we are massive Glitch Mob fans…we’ve seen many edIT/Glitch Mob shows, and we’ve definitely rocked out at them all. Today they just came out with this absolutely brilliant light infused video for “Beyond Monday”, a re-working of their now famous “Monday” remix into “Drive It Like You Stole It”, a new [...]
In my internet travels, I randomly came across this video of our friends in The Canon Logic doing their song “Delia” across the Brooklyn Bridge, and I loved it…reminded me of those awesome “Take Away Shows”. Speaking of the Take Away Shows, this one is an MRI favorite… Not necessarily lightpainting related, but we love [...]

LightBomber lets you create light paintings with your iPhone camera
I’ve loved creating light paintings with cameras ever since I was a 15-year-old with a Konica T4. My friend Scott and I would light sparklers and leave the shutter open on my Konica to produce these wonderful-looking images. I can still remember the thrill of seeing those photos, with their ethereal light trails, coming back from the photo lab. We’d use flashlights of various types, lamps, fireworks — just about anything to paint with light.
But with the iPhone? It’s not so easy. But now there’s LightBomber, an app that’s devoted to creating light trails and light graffiti. I’m just starting to experiment with it, but it is very, very cool, and I’m looking forward to seeing what iPhoneographers do with it.
