Phoenix Man Arrested for Photographing Sandra Day O’Connor…Courthouse Building
Via the website Photography is Not a Crime (PINAC), which documents law enforcement abuses related to taking pictures and videos, comes the story of Raymond Michael Rodden, a 33-year-old man who made the bad decision to photograph some public buildings late at night last week.
Last Thursday at 3 a.m., Rodden was unable to sleep and drove to downtown Phoenix in his boss’ car (he was staying with the guy and had permission) and snapped some shots of government buildings. Then, he told PINAC,
He noticed he was being followed by a Phoenix police patrol car. Before he knew it, he was being followed by an additional two marked cars as well as an unmarked car, not to mention a cop on foot.”

Amazing Things In The World
” The 650-gallon tank spans the top of the bed, and rests on a pair of matching tables on either side. The folks at Acrylic Tank Manufacturers, who created this masterpiece, have cleverly integrated a set of bedside lamps into the tank itself. But for $11,500, let’s hope there’s some way to completely darken the tank. Otherwise you could be wide awake all night finding Nemo right in your face.”

The 25 Best Photobombs Of 2013 (So Far)
” This photobomb broke the rules of this list by just two weeks—it was posted in late December. But it was just too good to exclude and we all know rules are meant to be broken.
This friendly couple of Vikings fans were taking in a game against the rival Packers when they took this happy selfie of themselves in the Green Bay stands.
Well, either the Vikes were winning or that Packer supporter flipping the finger fan has some serious rage issues. Or perhaps it was a healthy combination of the two. “
” Panthers quarterback Cam Newton has got a smile that the camera just loves, so is it any wonder he wants to show it off whenever possible?
Even if he’s not exactly the focus of the shot. Newton had a bit of a sophomore slump in 2012, but at least he ended the season on a high note.
Newton got a little unexpected face time on Panthers Gameday when he popped up in the middle of an interview in early January 2013.”

Rising Seas Swallow 8 Cities in These Climate Change GIFs
” Climate change and global warming may cause sea levels to rise and flood coastal cities across the world. Over the past century, the Global Mean Sea Level has risen by 4 to 8 inches. And according to estimates by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (PDF), it will keep rising between 8 inches and 6.6 feet by 2100.
How will the world look if that happens? In November of 2012, The New York Times published interactive maps displaying the effects of the sea level rising, in a series titled “What Could Disappear?” The maps show how much land the sea will claim in the future, if it rises by 5, 12, and 25 feet.
Nickolay Lamm, a 24-year-old researcher and artist saw the interactive maps and wondered: “What would this actually look like in real life?” Lamm told Mashable in an email interview that “the only imagery I had of sea level rise came from Hollywood.” So he decided to put his skills to work.”

AIPAD Photography Show
” A big chunk of the history of photography is represented, although haphazardly, by the 82 dealers making up this year’s Association of International Photography Art Dealers Show. At Hans P. Kraus Jr.’s booth, you can see the earliest photographic image of a whole human being: a paper negative and its positive print picturing a footman holding open a carriage door, made in 1840 by William Henry Fox Talbot. Kraus also has a pair of large photogravures of the Moon’s surface, shot from the Paris Observatory in 1895 by Maurice Loewy and Pierre Henri Puiseux.”
