Los Angeles • Chicago • NYC • Tokyo • Singapore • Sydney • New Zealand • Big Sur • Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest • CARMA • Eastern Sierra • Death Valley • Yosemite • Vermillion Cliffs • Mojave Desert

More info about the film and some of the shots is available on Chris Pritchard’s blog.

The Smithsonian’s National Air and Space Museum in Washington, D.C. has begun work on preserving the 11-foot (3.4 meters) model craft in an effort to make the ship resemble how it looked in the episode “The Trouble with Tribbles.” That episode was the last known modification to the model during the run of “Star Trek.” The model appeared in all 79 episodes of the original “Star Trek” TV series, which ran from 1966 to 1969.

It’s been shown in several studies that constantly taking photos of events dramatically reduces your ability to actually remember them (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/…/Want-remember-event-DONT-photo…)

So Rijksmuseum tells you to put down the cel phone. They give you a pad of paper and pencil when you enter the museum and encourage you to draw what you see – to help you experience the awe and wonder of art. They even blog/post people’s drawings.

I, for one, approve.
