This picture was taken by a KTBS helicopter flying over Lake Wiess about 90 miles north of Birmingham, Alabama That has to be a HUGE gator to have a whole deer in its mouth! Are you ready […]

Mr. Xishun shakes hands with Mr. Ping Ping

The world’s tallest man, recently married, met with the world’s shortest man in Inner Mongolia the other day. Priceless photo ops ensued. This might be one of my favorite events in history.

I take that back. This is my favorite event in history.

let’s take pictures

Let’s Take Pictures is a collaborative, worldwide photo collection put together in the most incredible Flash portfolio I have ever seen. It works so well and looks so beautiful. I rarely say that kind of thing, especially about Flash, but this site is near-perfect. I absolutely love it. I wish my photos were this good […]

This is going to sound more exotic than I want it to sound, but this weekend I went to Sri Lanka for surfing, snorkeling, and relaxing. We flew out on Thursday night into Colombo, and then got a van to take us down to the sleepy beach town of Hikkaduwa in the south west part […]

harrowdown hill video

Thom Yorke’s The Eraser is fantastic, as you know, and Harrowdown Hill is one of the best tracks.
