View of Autumn Mountains in the Distance by Yao Lu View of Waterfall with Rocks by Yao Lu Saw these beautiful photos at the NPR: Sustainability and Photography competition website.

This is work by Jeanne Stern, an Austin-based artist. First saw her work at the Aurora Picture show during one of the class trips and fell in love with her videos instantly.

Perhaps, with more experience and more shows under my belt, […]

I remember making a video using only photographs, but it seemed so amateur after watching this video. The projection mapping is just deliciously beautiful.
