It’s just been all squid, all the time this week here at KQED. If you were a sucker for our TV story on Humboldt Squid, don’t miss the new PBS web original video of the last orgiastic hours of Market Squid, also known as Inia geoffrensis.
The squid, along with pink dolphins and matamata turtles are all stars of the new Jean Michel Cousteau: Ocean Adventures web original video series, produced for PBS by KQED and the Ocean Futures Society.
Now, if we can just get Bay Area Bites to post some more calamari recipes…

Congratulations to Flickr community member Erin Malone (erin_designr) of San Francisco, CA!
Windy Grass - by Erin MaloneErin will be collaborating with KQED staff on our 2 minute Your Photos on QUEST segment for broadcast and web distribution.
Her stunning set of Alviso Slough pinhole images wowed our KQED QUEST editorial staff. Her winning submission did a wonderful job of expressing a sense of locale, with a passion for nature, via a process that captures something unexpected and essential.
In her own words:
“…My process is primarily to make long exposures with pinhole and zoneplate rather than a glass lens. These long exposures made on Polaroid material force me to slow down and to appreciate the beauty around me. I make beautiful, impressionistic images in a place that many see as ugly. My hope is that these images change their mind about the hidden beauty here.”
This was a very difficult decision to make for us - we hope to do another YPOQ call in the near future. If you wish, you may leave your submissions open and we will consider them again in the next round. Sincere thanks to all who participated.
For those of you who are interested in entering the future, sign up for our email newsletter to get an announcement for the next submission call!

Selection announcenment: March 3rd, 2008.

The land north of the Cliff House near the old Sutro Baths is getting a multi-million-dollar face life by the National Park Service and local philanthropists. The area, rich in history, and in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge will get new trails, catwalks and other features, making it more accessible to millions of visitors.
San Francisco Bay Invaders & Stem Cell Gold Rush (episode #110), which contains this short segment, airs tonight on QUEST at 7:30pm on KQED 9, and KQED HD, Comcast 709. (full schedule)
You may also view the the “Lands End Facelift” TV Story online, and explore additional links and resources.
