OLAN MILLS PHOTOS x PUPPY

THE best Olan Mills PHOTO I've ever seen!!!

GRAFFITI x CHERNOBYL DISASTER

Yesterday marked the 25 years since the disaster at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power plant. The near by city of Pripyat has become a ghost town since then if you ever see footage or photos of the place it all seems pretty eerie. Things are in a ruble just being left behind, toys of children lay where kids use to play, there was even a photo of a school yard where little gas mask were scattered around the place.

The lands throughout the ghost town are being taken over by vegetation. Even though it is a ghost town some people do make the visit to see the aftermath of the disaster at Chernobyl and some of these visitors have been leaving their mark with their graffiti. Photos via Alex Cheban

10 ABANDONED SOVIET MONUMENTS

Via the cool hunter:
[Spomenik literally means monument. These structures were commissioned by former Yugoslavian president Josip Broz Tito in the 1960s and 70s to commemorate sites where WWII battles took place

In the 1980s, these monuments attracted millions of visitors per year, especially young pioneers for their "patriotic education." After the Republic dissolved in early 1990s, they were completely abandoned, and their symbolic meanings were forever lost.

From 2006 to 2009, Kempenaers toured around the ex-Yugoslavia region (now Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, etc.) with the help of a 1975 map of memorials, bringing before our eyes a series of melancholy yet striking images.]

Great photos.

CAMBODIAN NEW YEAR, TIME ON A RANCH, BIRTHDAYS AND THE ASPARAGUS FESTIVAL


This weekend was an event packed weekend for me. With it being Cambodian new year we decided to hit up the temple in town for some food and just to go. Free parking and admission! This place was beautiful and I'll be back on another day to take some better photos :) So many people, food vendors, and entertainment for everyone.






The next day was some what crazy waking up super early for a Saturday and headed to a ranch in Valley Springs for a seminar. Great Weather and fun on a ranch can make seminars enjoyable.


Heading back to finish the night off with this crazy kids birthday.


Last day of the annual Asparagus festival and starting with a fail as we bought food tickets, FAIL!

Sold out of the asparagus ice cream :(


Deep fried asparagus

TIME LAPSE OF FLIGHT FROM SF-PARIS CAPTURES AURORA BOREALIS

This is quite amazing and make me rethink how I will continue to fly. Via Vimeo & Yahoo! New, "This passenger, who set up his Canon 5D Mark II digital SLR camera on a tripod and attached a timelapse controller. When he pointed his 16mm-to-35mm lens out his airplane window, the result was this remarkable timelapse video of his 11-hour flight.
Taking that Great Circle route above the polar regions, the video flies us through the aurora borealis, giving us a look at those spectacular northern lights."

PETER VS MR. WASHEE WASHEE

By far the best scene from last nights new Family Guy episode. Although I'm posting a not too HQ youtube clip it's because the main one doesn't allow embedding. BUT THIS WAS GOLD!

REAL LIFE SUPERHEROES


Seen a few things about real life superheroes and finally decided to post about it. You can check out there page here Real Life Superheroes. Some of the superheroes look goofy and just over the top but I'm just saying.. I admire the fact that people want to do the great or good with everything going on in our world today so I guess let them dress up and call themselves Superheroes. Also another thing to note from a video by Yahoo! News, which can be viewed here is that if you try to stop someone breaking the law 'People who punish an alleged criminal outside the legal system are breaking the law themselves.'

I really have to those these 'Superheroes' out there though, Soundwave & Jetstorm.

For one c'mon kid you took the name of a transformer!!! Two, if they did do crime fighting on the streets (although they don't they do charity work for starters) they would get punked really hard or hurt.

Some that have commented videos, blogs, or forums about them have said they admire their ambition but someone is bound to get killed doing this.

THE BRIDGE: A DOCUMENTARY OF GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE SUICIDES


I've been fully aware since I was in high school about the suicides that occur on the Golden Gate Bridge. One of my friends partners actually tried to take their own lives on the bridge is how I became fully aware of this event that has become common. Although I say common it isn't something that should be taken lightly. The Bridge was actually featured on Hulu Movies and I watched it on one of the nights I couldn't sleep.

Lots of quite quick disturbing footage of people pacing and jumping off of the bridge with commentary from friends, family, and unexpected spectators that were there to bask in the beauty of the bridge. After watching it I decided to look up a few things on the film; there has been some controversy with the film makers and city officials who gave permits to shoot footage. Noted from an article, the film was suppose to be about the bridge's legacy but as they started filming they caught more than they wanted, people taking their lives on the bridge and this soon shifted the storyline of their film.

I believe it's still up on hulu you can check it out here The Bridge.
