Mike Brodie - The roof of the world is the place to be...

from AMERICANSUBURB X by dR

Take a wild ride rough steel bracin' your rollin' wandering eyes, bracin' your rollin' adventurin' thighs, runnin' wind and flowery air rushin' through your tingly beaming beautiful feeling face... free hearts, open skies, push your spirit out on a rise... to the roof of the world... ride, baby, ride. Run and don't stop, sleep when you roll, roll when you wake, green and yellow dreams, your body aches, dirt bath livin', creek side givin'... swimmin' escape filled livin', give up your back, jumpin' jack, across the canyon crack'.... rails and dreams, nothin' but sun, clouds and pillows, dirt bath and willows, the sun is guardin' your life, the sky is your wife... the land is your man, go baby go...



Sea of Digital Cameras

from http://gizmodo.com/

"This is definitely something I've noticed a lot of lately: people are more interested in taking photos of something they're witnessing than actually, you know, witnessing it."





The Girl Project

from A Photo Editor

The Girl Project explores the lives of American teenage girls by putting them behind the camera to document themselves. Using disposable cameras, girls 13-18 photograph their lives as only they know and understand it.


Best. Inaugural. Photo. Ever?

It is 1,474 megapixels big. You can zoom in on lapel buttons for as far as the eye can see. Seriously: amazing! David Bergman made it out of 220 separate photos.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is not sleeping.
President Bush is not sending a text message.

Chris McCaw

"In 2003 an all night exposure of the stars made during a camping trip was lost due to the effects of whiskey. Unable to wake up to close the shutter before sunrise, all the information of the night’s exposure was destroyed. The intense light of the rising sun was so focused and powerful that it physically changed the film, creating a new way for me to think about photography."
