So I was going over some stuff on Vimeo and came across some videos i've bookmarked. When people ask why I do what i do....why i love cameras and the capture of an image....its always hard for me to explain. So here are 2 videos that will help explain everything for me. 

This first one is amazing. This is 100% real even though everything looks tiny. Behold the power of tilt-shift time lapse photography....

Bathtub IV from Keith Loutit on Vimeo.

This next video is equally amazing. 1000fps! (for those who may not be up on their frames per second...24 or 30 are typical of film and video) It's beautiful. 

I-Movix SprintCam v3 NAB 2009 showreel from David Coiffier on Vimeo.

Without the power of the camera it is impossible for us to see either of these things. We can't get the overall story or the minor detail. The human is stuck seeing the world in limited view.
