HDR stands for “High Dynamic Range” for those of you who don’t know. In some cases the range of hues picked up in the images are even greater than the naked eye can perceive by itself. In some cases, these images can look very artificial if not handled properly. Here is a great collection of HDR Photography from Smashing Magazine. Click here to see the rest.
While I’ve been neck-deep in web design, game design and illustration these last several years, I’ve never lost the need to break away from it all and actually live my life offline.

With that in mind, I wanted to share this video with those of you who haven’t seen it.

Samurai Champloo is a hip hop/samurai mash-up by Shinichiro Watanabe. He’s the same guy responsible for Cowboy Bebop, if you remember that one. Here is the first Episode of Samurai Champloo.
