Sport: Harold Edgerton

 

Back Dive, 1954, 14 x 11 inch silver gelatin print

 

Now on view at Danziger Gallery through September 6th is “Sport”, a selection of sports images by Harold Eugene Edgerton, the photographer who is credited with inventing the strobe flash. Edgerton or “Doc” as he was affectionately known, developed an electronic technology which allowed for high-speed photography and captured moments previously unseen by the human eye.

With his new flash Edgerton was able to photographically freeze the action of such things as drops of milk falling into a saucer,  bullets going through everyday objects, and the wing motion of various birds. But he was particularly drawn to capturing the action of sports and sports greats – Bobby Jones’ golf swing; tennis champion Gussie Moran’s serve; Wes Fessler (one of the Buckeyes’ greatest football players) kicking a football.

The Five Minute Journal

 

 

Journaling is a simple and easy way to help improve mental health and overall wellness. The act of writing down issues we’re facing, problems we’re having, and goals we want to achieve, helps us process thoughts and understand our feelings. When we’re stressed, it feels like everything’s out of control, but journaling is a tool that can put things into perspective. The externalization lets us view those issues in an objective way and make the overwhelming seem manageable. Journaling can make you feel more positive and optimistic in as little as 5 minutes a day.

“Boosting your mental wellbeing can be as simple as taking a moment to reflect on your daily wins, big or small”, says Jasmine Eskenzi, Founder and CEO of The Zensory, an app designed to improve focus, creativity, relaxation, and positivity. “At the end of each day, intentionally jot down two or three positive moments — whether in a journal, on a sticky note, or even by saying them out loud. These victories might include achieving important goals or just savoring a pleasant lunch. The idea is to find happiness in the little things, acknowledging your worth, and appreciating the effort you put in.” Read More
