Nude Nite Orlando

The largest exhibit of nude art in the United States, Nude Nite, takes place each year in Orlando, Fla. For the three-night event, an industrial warehouse space is transformed into an exotic temporary art gallery featuring photography, paintings, sculptures, live performances and more. Though it may seem somewhat risque, it's actually quite tasteful (mostly) and there's a tremendous amount of talent on display. Here's a slice of what went on Friday night as I tagged along with a photographer friend of mine.

Global Weirding

So after one of the worst blizzards in decades was forecasted, Ann Arbor ended up getting a measly half-foot of snow by Wednesday morning. The night before, I was sort of dreading having to walk a mile from my apartment through the University of Michigan Diag all the way to pay my rent, but it really wasn't so bad. Here are some of the sights along the way.

Snowmageddon

Michigan Theater employees Alex Rhue and Eric Fine work to keep up with the snowfall shortly before 8 p.m. Tuesday night. Rhue did the shoveling and Fine did the salting. As a dangerous winter storm set its sights on the Ann Arbor area, emergency personnel urged residents to stay home and advised businesses to close unless they provide a service that's critical to the community. The blizzard conditions are expected to include 10 to 15 inches of snow falling at a rate of 1-3 inches per hour, winds of 35 miles per hour and temperatures in the teens with wind-chill values near zero.
