I just graduated... again! For the past few days, I’ve been attending WPPI-U in Atlanta, the Wedding & Portrait Photographers International’s mini-university. It was three packed days of working photographers sharing their tools of the trade to an eager and varied audience of 400+.

It’s the first month of summer and I have school on the brain! I was reading an article recently that linked to Michael Sandel’s "Justice" class at Harvard, which is apparently one of the most popular courses the school’s history. They describe it as a “journey in moral reflection that has captivated more than 15,000 students,” and now they’ve put the entire experience online, for regular ole folks like us.

No, it’s not a spectacular half-court, last-second toss -- it’s the new record holder for the largest photograph in the world! Sevilla 111 Gigapixels is a huge panoramic and interactive photograph of Seville city in Spain, consisting of 111 million pixels! Photographers José Manuel Domínguez and Pablo Pompa worked for months piecing together the spectacular photo from nearly 10,000 images shot with a Canon 5D Mark II.

This time last year I was in Haiti for the earthquake response. With all the one-year commemoration news over the past few weeks, I’ve been thinking again about the people I met, the new friends I left behind, and wondering how things are going. One source that I’ve found hugely helpful is the Haiti Aid Map, which is an interactive map basically showing who’s doing what where. (If only we’d had this in Aceh post-tsunami!) Now, it may be too “inside baseball” for people outside the NGO World, but maybe not.
