Photographer Michael Christopher Brown was 32 when he went to Libya in February of 2011, just as the Arab Spring was dissolving into war. A broken camera forced him to document the conflict with his iPhone, and the pictures he made with his phone’s camera over the next several months form the foundation of Libyan Sugar Twin Palms, his first photography book. It is a massive volume, both physically and emotionally, and its photos and writings are as much about Brown himself as they are about the Libyan conflict.
Now using the iPhone 6s, Mangin travels around with the PGA tour for colour shots, with the accessibility a smartphone gives you offering something far more powerful and better than any DLSR cameras can.
“I’m less intrusive, less intimidating [than people] with load cameras, tripods and drives,” said Mangin, who is based in California. This suggests some people are now so used to smartphones being around them, they can act more natural when Mangin is looking for an opportunistic shot.

The idea with Mimo is to break down computer science lessons into smaller chunks, allowing aspiring coders to practice coding in lessons that don’t take longer than a couple of minutes to complete. This way, you can work learning to code into your daily routine, whenever you have a few minutes of downtime — like on your daily commute, while in the waiting room for an appointment, in between classes or anywhere else.
You make time by saying no to a lot of things — other interests, hobbies, time-sucks, etc.
You also need boundaries for yourself so that you know when to say no to other people and opportunities. Your creative ideas and the side projects you’re working on are valuable.
Something was bothering when I read the news that Apple is hiring a team of lyrics curators.
Today I realized that these particular jobs will always be in danger of being eliminated by Apple itself, because surely one day, Siri's speech-to-text capabilities will be improved to be accurate enough to transcribe lyrics from songs.
