Ansel Adams often referred to visualization as the key to making photography an art, not just a hobby. I found this rare video footage of him, as he explains what he meant.

Today’s site was sent to me by List member, Craig White. The Isla Earth Radio Series is a fun and engaging weekday radio program with an information rich website and free monthly newsletter called the e-Digest. Their team of science writers and editors scour the planet for breaking news about the issues most critical to the health and well- being of this island we call Earth. They cover stories from Antelopes to the near-extinction of the Zuber. They also bring you the latest on alternative energy development and about the environmental and conservation work of community groups and organizations. An excellent website/resource for environmental science educators.
As with all opinion-based resources, please ensure that you review them to ensure that they are suitable to your purposes beforehand.
