I came across this incredible video recently and had to share.

This brilliantly compiled 4 min timelapse titled, Project Yosemite, is the work of talented photographers, Sheldon Neil and Colin Delehanty.

The timelapses were shot with a Canon 5D Mark II with Canon L and Zeiss CP.2 Lenses.

Be sure to watch it in full-screen! I hope it inspires you as much as it inspired me.

Enjoy!
Chris

But, did you know this week marks a number of lesser known holidays, also worthy of celebration:

• National Compliment Day (24th)
• National Opposite Day (25th)
• Spouses Day (26th)
• National Chocolate Cake Day (27th)
• National Kazoo Day (28th)

Who knew?

Do you have a marketing calendar that you use in your business? If not, I highly recommend one.

Not only can a marketing calendar help you plan marketing activities that work well together, but it can also help you tie holidays into your marketing to make your message more fun and compelling.

I’ve compiled a calendar which includes all of the holidays you’re familiar with, as well as more obscure (and often more fun) holidays that you can use in your marketing campaigns. I’ve also included an area for notes and checkboxes to mark those holidays that best relate to your product or service.

Here’s to your success in 2012 and beyond!

• READ the St.Paul Pioneer Press article Leaving legend: Retiring Mounds View coach Zig Kauls has had an unforgettable ride.

• WATCH the ABC Channel 5 video by Joe Schmit.
  

Indeed, the saying is true, They can take the man out of Mounds View but they can’t take Mounds View out of the man.

Although it’s been over two decades since my high school days in Arden Hills, MN, I still keep an eye on Mounds View Mustang news from afar. And I still create the perennial design for various MV sports teams and club associations. Call it Mustang Pride or just unabashed nostalgic notions, I’ll always be a faithful Mustang.

Recently, I had the honor of creating a design to commemorate an historic event for the MV Mustang community. This Friday, Ziggy Kauls, Mounds View High School’s long-time varsity basketball coach, embarks on his 45th and final season leading the Mustangs.

Although I did not play basketball in high school, I recall seeing Ziggy’s court-side passion and enthusiasm as I cheered alongside fellow Mustangs in the Senior Stable stands years ago.

What I remember about coach Kauls is that he taught more than the game of basketball, Ziggy taught young men lessons in life. Although his records and accomplishments are among the best, his true gift is instilling qualities like teamwork, character, and respect. During his 45 years as coach, Ziggy has made a significant contribution to the community and forged a tradition of basketball excellence at Mounds View H.S.

Friday, January 13, 2012 the festivities begin!

At 7pm, immediately before the 7:15 game, a dedication ceremony to rename the basketball court Kauls Court will take place at Mounds View H.S.

Good luck this season fellow Mustangs. Congratulations, coach, may you enjoy continued success this season and beyond.
