I find Detroit to be one of the most fascinating places in the States. It was a huge, rich city and is now like a third-world country right here in our own states. The Times has a fantastic photo gallery of Detroit buildings in decline. They are beautiful, and throughly depressing. I highly recomend you check them out.
Thanks to the miracle of StumbleUpon, I just ran across this Smashing Magazine article detailing 35 examples of fantastic animal photography. The one above is probably my personal favorite, but they are all stunning. You’re missing out if you don’t click here.
I am in love with the idea behind this new website Photochaining. Essentially, the whole point is to get a photocard and add some strange images, then leave the memory card in an envelope instructing the person to upload their favorite image on the site. That person then takes weird images of their own and passes it along to the next person.
As much as I think this is just brilliant, I do have one thing I’d like to say: If you happen to have found a memory card around 4 years ago with all of my Europe photos on it, please send them back to me without erasing them. Wait, that was 4 years ago, at this point, it’s kinda creepy if you haven’t erased them.
