Amazingly beautiful and surreal photo of the recent eclipse event. Read more below.
Sun’s Embrace
Photograph by Colleen Pinski, My Shot
An observer in Colorado stands framed by a partial solar eclipse in a picture taken last week and submitted to National Geographic’s My Shot.
Solar eclipses happen when the moon lines up between Earth and the sun. But in the most recent case, known as an annular eclipse, the dark moon’s apparent diameter was smaller than the visible disk of the sun, so that it left a ring—or annulus—of fiery light around the edges.
The event was the first annular eclipse seen from the mainland United States since 1994.
Daily Photo Backlog Project
Posting the hundreds of pictures that haven’t been seen by most people. I will post a new photo each day. Some will be from the present but some may be years past. I hope you enjoy!
Catching up on my backlog of photos from a few months ago.
I took this during the 49ers’ Superbowl run. Red and Gold - Go Niners!

Getting closer to her Feb. 13th release date for the song “Born This Way”
Gaga Alert!!
New Gaga song from her upcoming “Born This Way,” due out in May. She remixed the song specifically for the House of Mugler under creative director Nicola Formichetti, who is part of Gaga’s personal stylist, so of course the song would be used for this video/fahsion show. This was a remixed version of the song, and it’s already sounding very different from her previous albums, so let’s see what Mother Gaga comes up with… Can’t Wait!!!

Alarm Pillow
I definitely could use something like this…
It gently vibrates at the given hour, to wake you up with a buzz. And if you don’t get out of the bed, your head-weight acts as the snooze trigger.

Future Phone
This video shows off an amazing Android concept phone. It is like a standard sized smart phone, but what’s amazing about this phone is that it has 3 Super AMOLED screens behind Gorilla Glass that are linked together by steel mesh wiring. The third screens flips out like a tent and it enables the phone to be used as a stand or just a continuous reader that you can scroll through. You can video chat, use 2 screens as an ebook. Unfortunately, it is still a concept rendering of the phone. But this is what the future holds. More usability, richer users experience and a functional design.
