Slaughterhouse Camera Copout

The Assembly Agriculture Committee this week scuttled SB 200, by Sen. Dean Florez, D-Shafter. The bill would have required slaughterhouses to install video cameras to track how plants handle livestock. Florez vowed to introduce the bill again next year, but California should not have to wait for this common-sense safeguard.

A camera caught abuse that inspectors missed. The video, and succeeding videos of abuses at other locations, demonstrated that the current inspection system has large gaps. Inspectors cannot be everywhere at once, but cameras can maintain a…

Interview: Wall-E’s Writer and Director Andrew Stanton

Stanton worked with John Lasseter on A Bug's Life and eventually went on to bring us the wonderful Finding Nemo, easily one of my Pixar favorites (although it's impossible to truly rank them). And now it's a great honor to present my interview with the mind behind Pixar's latest film, Wall-E.

And I just started to answer all that. I found myself very quickly writing the first act of the movie, which is not that different then what you have here. Then I couldn't stop. Then, I was like, by the time Nemo came out, this is what I want…

The Camera Flash Experiment

For our latest mission, 700 agents lined the length of the Brooklyn Bridge a week before its 125th birthday. In the rain and cold we created a wave of camera flashes across the bridge from Brooklyn to Manhattan. Enjoy the video below and then read on for the report and tons of photos. (Not waiting outside of an Apple Store.)

When planning this mission, it was difficult to know how many people we would need to span the length between the two towers. It’s also tough to know how many people are going to show up to our missions these days. In many ways, we were…

Cheeky bumble-bee smiles for the camera

This amazing picture shows a bumble-bee on his best ‘bee-haviour’, as he poses with a grin for the camera.

'I zoomed in on it and fired off a bunch of shots, messing around without really thinking about it. It wasn't until a few days later I looked over the images and I couldn't believe my eyes.

Comedian Zach Galifianakis is Smooth with the College Ladies

Are you done with that?

I think those cold-hearted students are the daughters of the girls who wouldn’t talk to me in university. I hope they grow up to be bitter and alone.

Why You Should Be Shooting RAW | Gadget Lab from Wired.com

If your camera has a RAW setting, you should be using it, no excuses. Heres why.

As youd expect, there are some disadvantages. RAW capture is slower. Hold down the shutter release of a DSLR and it will happily shoot jpegs until the memory card is full, barely slowing down. Try that with RAW and even pricey cameras will slow…

The Secret Lives of Stormtroopers (PICS)

Star Wars fan and photographer Cindi Geeze doesn’t just play with her extensive collection of Imperial soldier action figures. She props them into humorous poses and photographs them. She and other toy-posing hobbyists post pictures depicting the iconic soldiers clowning around, and even whipping up treats for their dark lord, Darth Vader.

Started with one. Now there's seven, with an eighth on assignment with my boyfriend in England (he was always posing mine and I could tell he needed one of his own, though he was reluctant to admit it at first - heehee!). It's…
