Internet K-hole: the Best Photo Blog You’ve ever Seen!
Absolutely amazing! Fantastic! Terrible! “Internet K-hole” is the best photo blog I’ve ever seen. Take a deep breath and welcome back in 70th, 80th and 90th. From colledge parties to university messes, from oldies and early punk-rockers to the mobs and oldskool rap-stars, from your moms and dads to your pals. Most of these photos were made of amateur photographers.

A Crime-Fighting Armored Glove
Inventor and Founder, Dave Brown, was originally inspired to develop The BodyGuard 9XI out of concern about wild animal attacks around his Southern California home. An avid hiker, David was distressed when he learned that two female mountain bikers had been mauled by a cougar on one of his favorite trails. It became apparent later that night that the same mountain lion that attacked the women had earlier killed 36 year-old mountain biker, Mark Reynolds. To protect himself against such animal attacks, Brown began inventing The BodyGuard.
It is equipped with a video camera and a stun gun to keep criminals at bay. For police and corrections officers, preventing and defusing confrontations can save lives, and that’s the premise behind the BodyGuard.
Firefox Markup
http://vimeo.com/24856024
Recently Mozilla Firefox launched Mark Up, an interactive online project that allows visitors to sign their name in support of the open Web. Anyone can contribute a mark, which are connected and visualized in an interactive HTML 5 experience. The project, done in collaboration with Evan Roth, creator of Graffiti Markup Language (GML), aligns with Mozilla’s belief that the Web is a shared public resource.
How it works:
– mark Up captures contributors’ marks using GML and mouse input, and then connects each individual mark end-to-end in a single line, beautifully rendered in 3D space. Visitors are able to browse, pan, zoom, rotate and sort animated marks.
– the 3D visualization is open-source and GML data will be made available for public use.

CIA ATHLETICA. Spend more time!
Cia Athletica ends with apology.
When spending time taking care of health and well being, it is common to hear ” I don’t have time for that, ” I can’t do that, “it’s impossible to get there”. Thinking on how to demystify these excuses and prove that there is no need to give away personal achievements in order to get in shape, DDB Brasil created a humorous campaign for Cia Athletica. The ads suggest that people will invest a little time on themselves and make a relation between the shape of people that spend time with hobbies and mannerisms with those who dedicate themselves to their own well being. The campaign has three parts, titled “Origami”, “Letters” and “Garden”. Continue reading »

Photo of the Day: Is This Art Or Rubbish?
When park workers removed this graffiti-covered discarded mattress, they had no idea they were dismantling a piece of modern art worth £1,000. The apparent rubbish was a work by Johnny Doe as part of the Art Free For All exhibition in Alexandra Park, north London. One of the organisers realised the workers’ mistake in time and stopped them before they reached the tip. Photo credits: Eddie Mulholland/The Telegraph.

White Power Milk
Sarah’s milk is bold, characteristically thick and buttery like melted vanilla ice cream. Collectors tend to enjoy her as a dessert. A little goes a long way, so take your time. Allow her flavors to permeate the mouth slowly. It’s not a race.
“Many are drawn to White Power Milk for the comforting certainty that our milk is the purest available. But it’s something more elusive, and difficult to put into words, that keeps our customers coming back. We create a select beverage that is not only more healthy for your body, but is culturally superior. Sure, the milk available at your local grocery store meets USDA government standards for quality, but these standards are set to a mere minimum of purity. You deserve the best.”
Not in Your Face
A social typology project by photographer Susan A. Barnett.
In the series “Not In Your Face” the t-shirt is starkly evident but the photographs are not about the t-shirt per se. They are about self-identity and validation. Each one of these people reveal a part of themselves that advertises their hopes, ideals, likes, dislikes, political views, and personal mantras. They wear a kind of badge of honor that says “yes, I belong to this group not the other.”
By photographing from the back these pictures try to challenge the time-honored tradition of a portrait being of the face and tests whether body type, dress and demeanor can tell us just as much as a facial expression might. The back view would seemingly make these people anonymous but we can see their humanity emerge. Here the t-shirt wearer knowing the photographer was only taking the shirt, seems to self-consciously relax and they show their trust and vulnerability.

What is Inspiration?
Inspiration is something individual. What inspires us, doesn’t necessarily inspire you. With that in mind, a good buddy of mine went out on a quest to engage the citizens of Copenhagen – and to get their opinion on the matter. He made a short movie about it. “What is Inspiration?”
by Lukas Renlund & Caroline Asmussen
1200 Post-its. A whole lot of people. And HardFuckingWork. Support a friend of mine to share a slice of inspiration with the world. And help him win a ticket to Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity this June.
Thank you all!
Photo of the Day: Crystal Cave
The blue Crystal Cave ice cave is illuminated by the evening sun in Svinafellsjokull in Skaftafell, Iceland. Created by the forces of the Vatnajokull ice cap in the south of the volcanic island, the deep blue cave was formed by the glacier meeting the coastline. The centuries-old ice that has come from the slopes of 6,921 feet tall Oaefajokull, Iceland’s tallest active volcano, has compressed all air out of the ice adding to the texture and colour of the cave.
