Jay-Z & Kanye West - Watch the throne live

Human beings in a mob
What's a mob to a king? What's a king to a God?
What's a God to a non-believer who don't believe in anything?
Will he make it out alive? Alright, alright, no church in the wild

TWO KINGS!

JAY-Z

KANYE WEST

Most kingz get their heads cut off

With the same sword they knight you they gon' good night you with
Shit, thats' only half if they like you
That aint even the half what they might do
Don't believe me, ask Michael

See Martin, see Malcolm See Biggy, see Pac
See success and its outcome
See Jesus, see Judas See Caesar, see Brutus
See success is like suicide

Suicide, it's a suicide When you succeed, prepare to be crucified

MACBA

No news from Barcelona long time. Nobody I know is there. The seed of Canada was planted there. What an amazing city, atmosphere and architecture.
This building is MACBA, check out the title of the post or read the sign from the photo. It is quite new building, opened in 1995. Never hav been inside, but what I know the place, especially the yard of it is loved by skateboarders because of the nice options for skating and it is also meeting for weed-smokers. At night you can get high just walking there.

Juliet Berto - Celine and Julie Go Boating

Shot casually in a documentary style, we see a red-haired woman—we will learn that it is Julie - sitting on a bench in a pleasant but rather non-descript Parisian park. She is reading a book, we can see, on magic incantations. But after a few minutes of random looks around the park—children playing, a cat on the prowl for pigeons—Julie is suddenly taken by the sight of a lithe woman woozily staggering across the park, a long scarf dangling from her neck. No one else seems to notice the dazed woman when she drops that scarf except for Julie, who leaps up from her park bench. She calls after her. Julie will chase after Céline, at first seemingly only on the mundane task of returning a dropped scarf. But with just that simple act, the magic of the narrative—both of this particular story and, in Rivette's meta-approach, that of cinema itself—begins....read more from Wikipedia.


This is a really interesting and weird movie full of chasing, dreaming and unreal moments. Also it portrays Paris quite nicely and if you have been there it seems very familiar. I chose this portrait of Julet Berto who was playing great role of Celine. I found her coolness and arrogance in the beginning of the movie very amusing. How could she be so cold?!? Julie has unfortunately left this world on 1990 due to a cancer.

Turkey Vulture

The Turkey Vulture is a scavenger and feeds almost exclusively on carrion. It finds its meals using its keen vision and sense of smell, flying low enough to detect the gasses produced by the beginnings of the process of decay in dead animals. In flight, it uses thermals to move through the air, flapping its wings infrequently. It roosts in large community groups. Lacking a syrinx—the vocal organ of birds—its only vocalizations are grunts or low hisses. It nests in caves, hollow trees, or thickets. Each year it generally raises two chicks, which it feeds by regurgitation. It has very few natural predators.

Auto color

Just for experimenting I used Auto Color command to boost up/freak out the colors of those pretty green shots. Looks kind of surprising.

Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the most beautiful of all?

One mirrors story. Once it was a new tire what came out from a dirty tire factory. Then it was a nice wheel together with three others under a powerful tractor. After few years, this tire got tired and it was abandoned and left behind the barn in a countryside, as long a woman decided to bring it back to live. She knew an artist who is working with tires. So she took this tire over to Carolyn Butts' place who gave this tire a new life, combining it with another tire and adding a mirror. The tire was happy to be presented in a wonderful exhibition. This mirror is waiting to become a part of somebody's home. It can be bought from here.

Wood

Wood is like water, with its many forms and utility possibilities. Appreciate it.

Wood is a hard, fibrous tissue found in many trees. It has been used for hundreds of thousands of years for both fuel and as a construction material. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression. Wood is produced as secondary xylem in the stems of trees (and other woody plants). In a living tree it performs a support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up for themselves. It also mediates the transfer of water and nutrients to the leaves and other growing tissues. Wood may also refer to other plant materials with comparable properties, and to material engineered from wood, or wood chips or fiber.

The earth contains about one trillion tons of wood, which grows at a rate of 10 billion tons per year. As an abundant, carbon-neutral renewable resource, woody materials have been of intense interest as a source of renewable energy. In 1991, approximately 3.5 billion cubic meters of wood were harvested. Dominant uses were for furniture and building construction.

Chipmunk

Chipmunks are small striped squirrels native to North America and Asia. They are usually classed either as a single genus with three subgenera, or as three genera. They are as common in the nature or countryside, as Black or Eastern Grey Squirrels in the cities. But they are much cuter than their bigger congener.

Chipmunks have an omnivorous diet consisting of grain, nuts, fruit, berries, birds' eggs, small frogs, fungi, worms, insects and on occasions small mammals like young mice. At the beginning of autumn, many species of chipmunk begin to stockpile these goods in their burrows, for winter. Other species make multiple small caches of food. These two kinds of behavior are called larder hoarding and scatter hoarding. Larder hoarders usually live in their nests until spring. Cheek pouches allow chipmunks to carry multiple food items to their burrows for either storage or consumption. Source wikipedia.org

On the beach

Between the eyes of love I call your name
Behind the guarded walls I used to go
Upon a summer wind there's a certain melody
Takes me back to the place that I know
Down on the beach

Just some examples of the signs I have come across on my travels, which in a way have influenced me. I hope the last photo will motivate everybody to make the world a better place.

Former USSR army base

These are from this spring's photo session with German guy called Stefan. He was interested in forgotten places and I offered him to go to this former army base complex. But it feels like I have had these photos up before....can somebody refresh my mind, please?
Anyway this is a good example how time changes the building. Especially when water is involved. Work of nature.
