I just found this beautiful video via http://www.fubiz.net/2011/11/30/the-beauty-of-a-second/. It is a montage of 1 second video clips submitted to a contest being run by Montblanc, “The Beauty of a Second”.

While we’re on the topic of being famous 
I wanted to mention (brag, I guess) that the IETF Journal, published by the Internet Society, used a photo I took of the IAB Plenary session in Quebec at IETF-81. You can read the article at http://isoc.org/wp/ietfjournal/?p=2597.
My original photo is on Flickr for comparison. It looks like the editors added some “fill light” to the photo before publishing it. This hurt the color and contrast, obviously, but makes it feel brighter. Trust me, it was not a brightly lit room – most of the photos I took didn’t turn out because it was too dark. The only ones that survived were taken with a Canon S95, thanks to its “Hybrid Image Stabilization” feature.
From Demolition of the Paris Metro:
Good form is to, as the train passes by, launch oneself from the alcove down the half meter wide gap between the third rail and the tunnel wall. This isn’t the olympics so nobody expects gazelle like speed and grace, the uneven rocky metro ballast will see to that. Ideally the front runner watches ahead for trains, the last watches behind and if you’ve a third they can count how long you’ve been running for. It’s also prudent to watch for electrical boxes and the like protruding from the walls which require one to duck and weave while still avoid the third rail beside your knee. Knocking oneself unconscious, falling on the juicer and being pulped will crimp your day. Faites attention! With each alcove assess the situation, consider how far it is to the next (if you’re lucky enough to see the damn thing) and decide whether to stop and wait or cast those fucking dice again and keep running.
