Most days, I try to feature weddings that are really detail driven?that give you solid inspiration and ideas for your own affair.� But today, I am instead going a little sentimental and sharing a wedding that is completely family driven. When I saw these photographs that Our Labor of Love shot, I completely fell in love. With the couple, with the kids, with the incredibly photography. It?s a wedding after my own heart, where family and fun take center stage. Cheesy, I know. But so true.

� The Collapse of the Wilkins Ice Shelf � On April 3rd, 2009, scientists from the European Space Agency announced that the Wilkins Ice Shelf , a mass of Antarctic ice, larger in area than Connecticut, was in ?imminent? danger of breaking up. New rifts had appeared and a large ice block had broken away earlier in the week. The announcement did not come as a surprise. The ice shelf had been stable for most of the last century but began retreating in the 1990s. In 2008, the Wilkins Ice Shelf

?Who Framed Roger Rabbit? came out 20 years ago and grossed $330 million worldwide, and for all the talk about another big screen venture for the animated bunny and his voluptuous sweetheart Jessica, nothing over the last two decades moved into production.

For all skin conscious fellows, a new and genius camera could be a long-time awaited messiah. In an experimental phase down at the Queensland University of Technology, a camera is breeding that clicks images using ultra-violet light.

The new Casio EX-FC100 is the fastest digital camera in town, capable of taking 30 six megapixel images in just a single second. The diminutive, well-built EXFC100 has a wealth of high-speed modes, including pre-recording images before you've even pressed the shutter button, and combining images to help eliminate camera shake in low light conditions. Video is also one of the Casio EX FC100's strong points, with 720p HD footage and 1000fps, super-slow-motion movies on offer. This 9 megapixel model is also a very capable still camera, with a 2.7 inch LCD screen and 5x optical zoom lens. With an official list price of $399.99 / �349.99, the Casio EX-FC100 is an expensive point and shoot - read our in-depth review with sample images, videos and more to find out if it makes the grade.

I am absolutely in LOVE with the summer collection from Morrison . The hippie, organic feel these pieces have are so perfect for my dream wardrobe. Lots of neutrals and soft, flowing, yet flattering cuts... While my style tends to be a bit more constructed for cold weather, in the summer I love to adopt a more relaxed look, and every one of these dresses is calling my name for lounging in the sun! Even their photography is wonderful... count me in as an official fan.

For the cover of Esquire's June issue, photographer Greg Williams shot ten minutes of video footage of Megan Fox , from which the best stills were selected for the cover and inside the magazine. As resolution rises & prices fall on video cameras and hard drive space, memory, and video editing capabilities increase on PCs, I suspect that in 5-10 years, photography will largely involve pointing video cameras at things and finding the best images in the editing phase.

IBM and Microsoft dominated the world of computing. The revolutionary Macintosh, launched with such fanfare just a year earlier, appeared to be foundering. And Jobs, the guiding force at Apple from the beginning, seemed not just expendable but a threat to the company he?d built. In West of Eden ?

Today?s quick reader tip comes from Mike Seigafuse ( mseigafuse in our forum). Check out his Flickr account here . Sometimes we get in a habit and neglect to look at things differently. My tip is to try taking a photowalk with a different lens than you normally do. Most of us probably have a favorite or usual lens that we shoot with. If you do have a different lens try a walk and only take pictures with that lens. This will force you to look at things differently and perhaps make you look a
