Culture Buzz History never looked so good. The New York City Department of Records recently unveiled a massive online archive of over 800,000 scanned pictures. Here are but a few.
Culture Buzz Powerful but horrific. This searing photo was taken by AFP's Massoud Hossaini, who just won the 2012 Pulitzer Prize for Breaking News Photography. WARNING: Graphic images.
Tech Buzz Dennis Maitland's 'Life on the Edge' photos are intensely beautiful, but also kind of make you want to throw up. Maitland explains how to take the perfect puke shot.
Culture Buzz Whoa. These weren't taken by a billion dollar satellite, just a dude and his Nikon. Turns out Dutch astronaut and physician Andre Kuipers, currently doing research on the International Space Station, is quite the interstellar shutterbug. All of the captions and photos (save the last) are his. Some of these don't even look real.
Culture Buzz Artist Ofra Lapid uses photographs of abandoned buildings to construct small scale models of the decaying structures. It's intriguing to see these forgotten buildings isolated from their surroundings and paid such close attention.
Science Buzz NASA’s just published its âmost amazing highest resolution image of Earth ever” in a photograph called “Blue Marble.” Check out the 8000x8000-pixel image here if the one below isn’t large enough for you.
This guy was arrested after using his skateboard to bash a photographer who attempted to take a shot of his hair. Why he would want to hide such a beautiful mane from the world is a mystery. Hate crimes have been replaced by hair crimes.
Culture Buzz According to the National Enquirer, this is the woman with whom Sarah Palin's First Dude has been going rogue. Her name is Shailey Tripp (I know, his grandchild's name—an added wrinkle of barf), a masseuse who has previously been arrested on charges of “maintaining a house of prostitution.” Skepticism is justifiable considering this originated in The Enquirer, but they did break the John Edwards/Rielle Hunter story, so their batting average on gross political sex scandals is depressingly high.
There's nothing quite like putting on your Sunday best, heading down to the Sears with your bro, cracking open a case of Busch Light, and getting some tasteful 8x10 portraits photos taken.
