San Francisco-based Photographer Ryan Tatar (one of our favorite features) has made quite a name for himself with his beautiful cross-processed lo-fi surf photography. His analog approach helps him feel miles away from his busy day job and let’s him focus on just making great images.

On this episode of D-I-Why Not? for Korduroy.tv, he breaks down the basics of shooting film.

Last week the city of Los Angeles welcomed Space Shuttle Endeavor to it’s new home, the California Science Center. The four-day journey through the streets of LA to the Science Center was captured beautifully in time-lapse in so many great angles by Matthew Givot and his small army of collaborators which included Joe Capra, Chris Pritchard, Brian Hawkins, Andrew Walker & Ryan Killackey and more.

This has been an amazing experience that I will never forget. My hope is that this film will show you the amount of dedicated people and teamwork that it took to get the Endeavour to its new home.—Matt Givot

People always ask creatives where their inspiration comes from. We say it’s all around us … you just have to look.

The crew at CountryTrouble got inspired to create this cool animated short thanks to an old family photo album they picked up at Melrose Trading Market in Los Angeles.

In most skate flicks, all the mistakes and falls are edited out creating the illusion that the skater never falls. The Madrid-based photographer Juan Rayos leaves them in, but in a beautiful way, showing the drive of Kilian Martin to get the trick right and Rayos’ own dedication to capturing a great shot no matter how long it takes.

I’m really loving the light and what the dust in the station adds to the tricks. Enjoy!
