Also, legendary entertainer Andy Griffiths died today (aged 86). The internet pays tribute as always, but this mash-up of his sitcom’s theme song and Beyonce is a favourite.

Been well aware I haven’t blogged anything of late.  The internet has been somewhat disturbingly quiet lately and I’ve been occupied with all sorts of social and anti-social activity (damn you BF3!).  All of them not so interesting enough to post about until this…

Oh, have picked up a new camera and damn, it and I are getting along well.  Look forward to posted up some photos once I’m properly adapted to using it.

Blindly came across this guys work, but damn I’m a fan now.  Bruce Davidson is an American based photographer who started out at the age of 10 when his equally top shelf mum built him a darkroom and ever since has been snapping photos with an incredible documenting eye for emotion and humanity.

That’s kinda all I can say towards my quick researched summary on the guy, cause really, if your interested there are much more insightful and extensive write ups and interviews to be found here, here and here.  Also, some online galleries portraying his works can be found here, here and here; and be sure to check out what there is from his East 100th Street set while your at it.

Also, here’s a retrospective video on the guys work during the civil rights movement…

A couple more favourite images…

And finally, something that pleasantly surprised me, he was responsible for the cover image of the Beastie Boys’ Ill Communication.  Boosh.

Haven’t had much time to blog.  Been busy, especially with 48 Hours coming up this weekend and have prepped so far almost nothing.  Nothing!

Pfft…  totally gonna just embrace the chaos and wing it.

Meanwhile, here’s a bloody awesome picture of the space shuttle Endeavour taking off on it’s final flight.

This is totally freakin’ cool…

Amateur astronomer Nick Risinger travelled across the globe to capture the night sky on a special camera rig and create this 5000 megapixel, 360-degree interactive view of the Milky Way and more than 20 million stars.

Composed of 37,440 images, this giant image provides a high level of detail to our night sky and for me, gives another alarming call to how bad light pollution is getting at night.

Anyhow, to check out the interactive awesomeness, go to https://skysurvey.org/

This is officially my favourite thing on the internet today.
