Alan Jaras, Twisting Light #21
You need to see Alan Jaras’ breathtaking photographic work. No PhotoShop, no digital camera – not even any lens. [thanks, David!]
Check out these wallpaper sets – (and the earlier sets, linked within that article) .. thanks to Smashing for the usual great curating.
Some cool photos of snow under a microscope.
Today was one of those days that reminds me why I love living – and as a bonus, doing it here. The sun was shining and it was well above 80. The birds were singing away and frantically going about their springtime business. I have some (sparrows, I think) nesting on the north side of the house. I hear so many different birdsongs day and night that I’ve started checking eNature.com to try to identify them.
One of my favorite fashion models, Angela Lindvall, shot for Purple quite tastefully au naturale by Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. Over at Egotastic.
Great commercial from Sweden…

Great piece by Anne Applebaum at Slate. One of my faves, Natalia Vodianova, scores a mention.
I thought this kicked some serious holiday ass. I had never heard of TSO until I caught this song on the radio today. This is TSO’s stirring Christmas re-interpretation of Pachelbel’s Canon in D major – with great electric guitar that somehow doesn’t “unwarm” the emotion of the song.
The angelic blondes with incredible voices wearing leather collars don’t hurt, either. [I believe the siren attempting to steal my heart from stage left* is Jennifer Cella.]
Merry Christmas.
*- for you non-theater types, that means the one on your right.
