Tuesday Morning Wake-Up Call (Got Milk?)

Photographers Tomas Januska and Edvardas Poska gave the Ice Bucket Challenge phenomena a close look, with their recent series, Impact. The project involved pouring milk onto people during the photo shoot, capturing their reactions at the exact moment of impact. “We managed to shoot a series of shoots with each person. Around maybe, 70-100 frames with everyone…no the models didn’t complain, but were excited and curious about our cause, and why we were doing this…(via thepluspaper.com).
It’s been a long day…

This is one of the finalists in Smithsonian.com’s 12th Annual Photo Contest. It was selected from over 26,500 entires by photographers from 93 different countries. This photo of a wave striking an elephant seal pup was taken by Anthony Smith on South Georgia Island in January, 2014. “Young elephant seals were sprawled all over the upper beaches in a remote sub-Antarctic region of the Atlantic, but for some reason this youngster had chose to lie down to rest right within the surf!” says Smith.

It trembles, liquid to the mind, then falls

Sometimes you linger days
upon a word,
a single, uncontaminated drop
of sound; for days
it trembles, liquid to the mind,
then falls:
mere denotation
dimming the undertow of language.

Ours was with a hose and plastic pails – – and far, far less elaborate, yet equally effective. This photograph evoked childhood memories of sultry summer afternoons. As did these posts:
- Emjayandthem: Summer time trips to cherry and fruit orchards.
- On The Homefront: Rolling down grassy hills
- Lichtyears: On a hot and hazy visit to the Green Mountains
