This dream-like picture shows each phase of the sun over Bristol’s Clifton Suspension Bridge taken during half a year.

The image was captured on a pin-hole camera made from an empty soda can with a 0.25mm aperture and a single sheet of photographic paper.

Photographer Justin Quinnell strapped the camera to a telephone pole overlooking the Gorge, where it was left between December 19, 2007 and June 21, 2008–the Winter and Summer solstices. (That’s a 15,552,000 second exposure.)

‘Solargraph’ shows six months of the sun’s luminescent trails and its subtle change of course caused by the earth’s movement in orbit. The lowest arc being the first day of exposure on the Winter solstice, while the top curves were captured mid-Summer.
(Dotted lines of light are the result of overcast days when the sun struggled to penetrate the cloud.)

The “camera” wasn’t only taking exposure during the day, it was out there continuously being exposed for months. Day AND night.

car lights are not bright enough. this is a 6 month exposure. not several seconds, minutes, hours, days or weeks. this is months. and the brightest object in the image is the sun… the sun will ruin 99.999% of pictures if it is prominent in the frame.

you will not see any moving fast moving objects. the sun barely registers. if a person were in the frame, they would have to sit perfectly still for days in order to be even remotely recognizable.

This is a photograph of Faro and Doris Caudill, farmers in Pietown, New Mexico.
They lived in a dugout and struggled to survive on Resettlement Administration land.

As the 1930s came to a close, Kodak came out with Kodachrome film – the first commercially viable color film available to the general public. In 1937 and 1938, the colors were still not stable and accurate, but by 1939 Kodachrome was producing color images of remarkable precision.

Now, not just anybody could buy this film. It cost $5 per roll and had to be sent back to Rochester, New York for development. By comparison, in 1938 Congress established the first minimum wage at 25 cents per hour. $5 represented half a week’s work. But the Farm Security Administration sent out about a dozen photographers with this new film. Commercial photographer, Samuel Gottscho, and well-to-do amateur, Charles Cushman, embraced this new technology, as well.

New York City was the metropolis of America.

Times Square was the happening place. Big date. Hop in a taxi.
And go see Night Train at the Globe Theater.

Chicago was the transportation, food, and manufacturing center of the country.

That last one looks pretty much the same today. At least to me. When I look north from the Michigan Avenue bridge, those two beauties are the only ones I see.

Smoked many a midnight jay in their shadow, admiring their architectural elements.

That’s Kabul I think.

Your statement is not an accurate assumption. We’ve modeled much of our society after places that are now in ruin. Would you say the same about the Greeks, Egyptians and Persians?

The Greeks became the Romans and that went pretty well for a long time.

The Egyptians were conquered by (someone? – actually I’m unsure what about our culture comes from them)

The Persians fell to the Mahomedans (Moslems)

Greeks “became” Romans? What in hell does that mean? Rome subjugated Greece in the second century BCE, becoming a Roman province. Greece did not cease to exist.

The Egyptians were conquered many times, most notably by the Hyksos, as mentioned, as well as the Greeks, Romans, and Muslims.

The Persians are still the Persians and have always been the Persians; their national identity has most often been something else, though. Currently we call them Iranians.

The ignorance, it burns.

Romans copy-pasted the Greeks when the soldiers that fought in greek wars came back with a serious case of Hellenic fever.

The egyptians were conqueres by the greek.

That’s pretty much the pot calling the kettle black. The Romans copy-pasted the Greek pantheon and assimilated their cultural achievements, like they did everyone elses. That hardly makes them Greeks. They were culturally, economically, militarily, and historically very different civilizations.

The Romans are just a group of Greeks who were driven out of Turkey by another group of Greeks. They then settled in what we now call Italy.

Greece set up colonies all over that part of the world. Some thrived, some failed, and some gotten driven on to other places where they did better or worse.

Good example – Cleopatra was a GREEK, not an Egyptian as most people tend to think. So came from the Greek colony that settled/conquered Egypt about 300 years previously. Just look at the marble busts of her – she’s clearly Grecian.

mikebabaguh (UID# 2366) 0 0
May 26, 2010 at 1:27 am

You are referring to the legend of Aeneas, a Trojan War survivor who eventually settled in Italy and founded Rome. This myth was written by Virgil in the early 1st century CE and is not considered historical fact.

Romans have always been an ethnically mixed bunch, but originally they probably hailed from central Europe.

Cleopatra was a descendant of Ptolemy, one of Alexander the Great’s generals. Alexander’s army conquered Egypt in the fourth century BCE…and should certainly not be considered a colonizing force. Otherwise, your time frame is correct and your suggestion to examine her image is apt; specifically, her large nose is a trait of the Ptolemaic rulers.

The Soviets fucked the Afghans when they invaded and America left it to its own devices afterward and the country decended into extremist Islamist shithole. So, what is it?

The USSR stepped in and supported the moderate socialists instead. Then the taliban grew from within, with POPULAR SUPPORT. POPULAR FUCKING SUPPORT.

That being said fuck that place. Kabul is in Afghanistan. The one place on earth no one has conquered. I say do it then cause it sounds like a challenge and if that means turning that turd into a crater then nuke away amuuuurka.

Dude, B5 was supposed to be, what, five miles long? The interior here looks like it’s at least two miles across, perpendicular to that river. This thing is way, way bigger.

What’s confusing me is why the landscape is curved along two axes. Assuming the artificial gravity is created centrifugally, which way is the whole thing rotating?

Drinking water

The Rio Caño Cristales, also known as “the river that ran away to paradise”, “the most beautiful river in the world”, and “the river of five colours”. is world famous for its colorful display, located near the town of La Macarena in Colombia, South America.

During a brief span between the wet and dry seasons , when the water level is just right, the many varieties of algae and moss located at the bottom of the river, bloom in a brilliant display of colors. Areas of yellow, blue, green, black, and red – and a thousand shades in between – coat the river.

See more (and bigger) images after the jump.

The part of the river where the colorful blooms occur is quite isolated and is not accessible by road. Adventurous tourists can now fly into La Macarena and then make their way to to the river site on foot as part of guided tours. The site was effectively closed to tourists for several years because of guerrilla activity in the region along with concerns about the impact of unregulated tourist traffic. However, the site was reopened to visitors in 2009. So far, only about 1,000 people have visited Caño Cristales, including around 100 foreign tourists.

Butterflies Trying to Escape Their Shadow, 2005

Acid-free A4 80 gsm paper and glue

About my paper works

My paper works have been based around an exploration of the relationship between two and three dimensionality. I find this materialization of a flat piece of paper into a 3D form almost a magic process – or maybe one could call it obvious magic, because the process is obvious and the figures still stick to their origin, without the possibility of escaping. In that sense there is also an aspect of something tragic in most of the cuts. Some of the small paper cuts relate to a universe of fairy tales and romanticism, as for instance Impenetrable Castle inspired by Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale The Steadfast Tin Soldier, in which a tin soldier falls in love with a paper ballerina, living in a paper castle. Other paper cuts are small dramas in which small figures are lost within and threatened by the huge powerful nature. Others again are turning the inside out, or letting the front and the back of the paper meet – dealing with impossibility, illusions, and reflections.

I find the A4 sheet of paper interesting to work with, because it is probably the most common and consumed media and format for carrying information today, and in that sense it is something very loaded. This means that we rarely notice the actual materiality of the A4 paper. By removing all the information and starting from scratch using the blank white 80gsm A4 paper as a base for my creations, I feel that I have found a material which we all are able to relate to, and at the same time is non-loaded and neutral and therefore easier to fill with different meanings. The thin white paper also gives the paper sculptures a fragility which underlines the tragic and romantic theme of the works.

The skeletons and buildings are just insane. Also the one skeleton that is looking at the human cut out while sitting on a chair, notice how the cut out of the chair looks like the proper shadow for the chair. So brilliant and precise. Most inspirational work I’ve seen this year.

I think that one is my favorite. I see it as an expression of the consideration of human potential, we may start out as just bare bones, but we can grow, be fleshed out, but its a delicate process that requires consideration.

I also like the last one as well. I like how you use the negative space to represent the shadows of the future.

Now excuse me, I have to go do calculus before the analytical side of my brain completely shuts down from all this artsy crap.

After seeing entirely too many artists who seem to think good art is photographing a hot girl in sexy, revealing (possibly bizarre) clothing doing something random and evocative (like the coke whore and suspended gal and such seen recently here), it is very nice to come across an artist who actually has a real meaning to- and idea behind- their work. Props to you sir!

I believe it must be a Victory because that is the only class of Star Destroyer that can descend into the Atmosphere. Kinda looks more like an Imp or Imp II though….

Who the hell down voted this. He is correct in so far as only a Victory can enter atmosphere….

Even though it clearly is an Imperial or Imperator Class

All these are photos from throughout PA. I had them all tagged; but the site would not upload, and now, I lost the source

That cat looks about how I feel. That is, if that cat does in fact look properly fucked up, and it’s not my imagination. I’m starting to regret getting that auto-correct addon for Firefox though, it makes my drunk posting entirely too articulate for my liking.

Wait. Can you be articulate when writing? Isn’t it just a talking thing?

agzed (UID# 2298) 0 0

Apparently articulate is a valid term to use with regards to the written word. However, “a talking thing” does not remotely qualify as articulate. Asshole.

Extremely beautiful but why do photographers always shoot waterfalls with long exposure or whatever the hell it is that makes water look like that? I think waterfalls are more pretty when photoed more like the human eye sees them.

1) emo

2) this comic used to have it’s moments but more and more the wall of text turned emoer and emoer/dumass facile “everyting I know about politics I learned from Michael Moore and George Carlin” “skatebording’s not a crime” “my mom says I can’t wear baggy pants” politicaler. It’s like as the guy got older he got more and more teen agnst.

These games were so fucking fun.

I even joined a clan once on that game site Microsoft used to have for PC gamers.

LUCAS ARTS!

Bring us these games again. I am serious. DO IT NOW. XBLA, please.

Lost hours and hours to this game, along with its predecessor X-WING, back in the day. I really miss those two games.

I also lost hours to its successors: X-Wing vs Tie Fighter and X-Wing Alliance. XWA was not near as good as they rest, but you could play as the Millenium Falcon, and that is a very good thing.

Out of all the star wars flight sims, this is my favorite one. I loved playing as the bad guys and helping the empire capture tech to build a fight superior to the x-wing.

Plus it was just a good challenging game when you don’t have shields on some of the fighters.

My son, you do not have to be one lost forever. The Empire is forgiving – please admit you past crimes with the rebel scum and we’ll help you undo your brain washing. The Empire is not that bad guys, but the legal government which strives to help all people.

*also note, it was hard to find good shots for this game. I had to take screen shots off of you tube. I need to get an old windows 95 computer so I can play this….

I tried to post these pics a couple of days ago; they did not want to load.

Anyways; this is the Altar; Open year round, owned by some church group (not sure which one, they don\’t even have a sign up that says). It is complete unobtrusive, perched on top of a mountain top in the middle of the woods with a view that overlooks the valley. Popular place for weddings.

You have to turn onto a dirt access road that leads to a State Forest land; and then turn up the drive for this. IT can be kind of bumpy, but you can get their in a car from spring to fall. My wife (pictured) took her mother and an exchange student from Spain there.
