VIDEO: Silver Spring in motion

After two months of strenuous work, 80 hours of taking pictures in 20 degree weather, two near arrests and many sleepless nights, my hard work isn't going unnoticed. The beauty of the bustling life in Downtown Silver Spring is captured in the 7,123 photos I sequenced together into this seamless timelapse. From the glimmering lights of the ice rink to the changing traffic lights of a common intersection, life in the boisterous city of Silver Spring is perfectly encapsulated through the lens of my camera.

SpringChic comes early this year

Though the return of the Hulk or Captain America may lure an audience in with its action scenes, viewers will stay for the plot and humor as well.

A (hilarious) end of an era

Since 2005, Wiig has appeared in more sketches than I can count and managed to be hilarious in most of them. But like everyone who's ever been on the show, she had to leave eventually.

Google on your face

When Google announced plans to manufacture a pair of glasses with their technology in it, the idea seemed like an invention in a sci-fi movie. When they came out with a video previewing what the glasses will eventually be able to do, the public was fascinated. Then when a Google engineer appeared on "Charlie Rose" wearing the glasses, explaining them and taking a picture of Rose as he spoke, the futuristic plan became a reality.

Trashy television

Television has gotten to the point where every concept has already been done and new shows are just old ideas with different titles.
