 Ken Krayeske, a freelance photojournalist, was arrested by Hartford, Conn., police this week as he snapped photos of Gov. Jodi Rell's inaugural parade. Police said Krayeske, who had supported the campaign of a Rell opponent, was arrested for being a "political activist" and potential threat to Rell.
Norman Pattis, Krayeske's attorney, called the charges ridiculous, blaming the "governor's goons" for needlessly harrassing a political opponent who happened to also be a photojournalist.

 Without a doubt, the photographs themselves -- whether they're about an enthralling subject, an enticing color, an unusual shape, or amazing lighting or composition -- are what draw us in.

 Perhaps you've received them in your e-mail inbox: dramatic photographs of a photographer making a dangerous leap from rock to rock in the Grand Canyon, along with a description of the 900 meter plunge he narrowly avoided.
Many people who've seen the photos, taken by Dutch pro
Hans van de Vorst, have assumed they're a Photoshop stunt. Others have been shocked and amazed by the subject's death-defying leap.
So, are the photos real? Yes -- and no. |

 Last spring, Princeton University solicited images generated in the course of its scientific community's research efforts. The result is Princeton's 2006 Art of Science exhibition. The organizers state:
The practices of science and art both involve the single-minded pursuit of those moments of discovery when what one perceives suddenly becomes more than the sum of its parts. Each piece in this exhibition is, in its own way, a record of such a moment. They range from the image that validates years of research, to the epiphany of beauty in the trash after a long day at the lab...
