Lots of Joe McNally....

Joe McNally is a photographer who is well-known for the magic stuff he does with lighting. I came across a long entry on his blog today that I wanted to share with you. The entry, which is called Welcome Adorama! and concerns his efforts to maintain a group of photos he took for a project called Faces of Ground Zero, is an interesting story and has some great pictures.

This post follows one from last week called Rollin' With The Pride of Midtown; if you are interested in photography you'll enjoy his detailed description of how he captured this fantastic image of a firefighter driving his rig through Times Square. Even if you're not interested in the process you should still check out the photo!

McNally published a book earlier this year called The Moment It Clicks: Photography Secrets From One Of The World's Top Shooters. I recommend it highly.

Funny story about the source of the maple syrup smell that has periodically occurred in New York City: Map of the Day: NYC's Official Maple Syrup "Odor Reports" . Most interesting to me is that the mystery was ultimately solved by overlaying calls to the city's 311 line on a map with dates and prevailing weather patterns (check the link for a detailed picture).

A '59 Seconds' Exercise in Motivation and a 2010 Resolution

For a couple of weeks in 2008, during the peak of training for the Chicago Marathon, I was at my target weight: 165 pounds. Given the aftermath of all the running I did in 2008, 2009 was not a great year for running. I'm back on track now, though, and eagerly looking forward to the NYRR Manhattan half-marathon in a couple of weeks. I'm recommitting myself to achieving my target weight, and I'm using the steps outlined in the Motivation chapter of 59 Seconds: Think A Little, Change A Lot to focus my efforts. It's a fun book that I highly recommend. The key steps include: 1. Identify the overall goal 2. Create a step by step plan to achieve the goal (including specifics on how each step will be achieved and how you will reward yourself as each step is achieved. 3. Specifically identify the benefits of achieving the goal. 4. Tell lots of people about your goal. That's what's happening here, by the way..... For more background, check out this post on Wiseman's
