I am a student of the Ching-I Chuan style of KungFu and when I read this article on The Analytics of Pitching my curiosity was piqued. In Ching-I we are taught that power is generated by the hips, using the mechanics of the body to drive power into whatever strike we use. Now, with motion capture, pitchers are being taught scientifically those same methods. Interesting.

Here are today’s selection, an eclectic mix. Enjoy!This gull looks like the chicken in the muppets. I swear.Hurry.This statue looks tired. I can commiserate with him.An Alley in Barcelona, Spain.

Especially in Spain. :)A cityscape panorama, taken at night. Very cool.Barrel Texture. Exquisite.Today’s collection brought to you by the letter "P".

I’m not big fan of memes or fads, but my roomate is currently in DC studying screenwriting, and I thought he might enjoy this supposed look into the lives of a real hollywood actor or actress, whatever the case may be. :)
A complex scene of a crosswalk. The use of bokeh here allows the scene a bit more simplicity than a sharper photograph. The figures take on a sort of everyman feel, allowing you to put yourself in their place.Dandilion seeds. David uses bokeh here also, though more subtly.

Park. I love how the words reflect the sky. Colors are brilliant and vivid. Makes me feel rich.Dodge. Perfect balance between the pink and blue. Pink and Blue are the new black. You see them prominently in clothes these days. I’ve been on something of a blue theme lately, shifting from a dominance of green and orange in my clothes and website.Tree Blossoms. The shade of blue feels fresh. It has the joy of Spring within its borders.Regan. Shutterbug has an intimate style that I quickly grown to appreciate.
