Man, these photographs are like a cool drink of water on a hot day. I think I’m partial to the black and whites, because the contrast and complexity are really well put together. But the color work is almost as good, which puts it around 12 on a scale of 1-10. Just some really fantastic photography, and not because of the boobs either. Although they certainly didn’t hurt.
*voting is now closed* For those of you that voted, thanks and keep watch for the randumb prize winner tomorrow. For the other 300 people who read the post and didn’t bother to vote: eat a syphilitic dick. Can’t even spare 30 seconds to vote. Cock-knockers.
At the beginning of April my friend Matt and I decided that it was high time we stopped being little girls and grew manly beards. Dudes that we are, we decided to make it interesting by turning the whole beard growing process into a competition, and so Beardoff 2009 was born. Both of us have suffered through the slow, itchy, and disgusting process of growing a beard for 30 long days, and now it’s time for the winner to be decided. That’s where you come in, internet. We need you to be our impartial judges, so one of us can throw their beard-mastery in the other’s face. The loser also has to buy the winner a big, manly, delicious steak, because we’re men and that’s what men eat.
To sweeten the pot, one random voter will be chosen to receive some sweet prizes in the form of a DEATHCAT!!! t-shirt that Matt designed, and probably some drawing from my sketch book. That’s as good as we can offer without corporate sponsorship. The real prize is knowing that you have helped one man make another man cry, and at the end of the day, that’s what it’s all about.

They’ve created glow in the dark puppies, and these videos are equally as adorable and pointless.
Getting stuck in your teeth.
All I know about Dimitri Stankowicz is that I love his motion work. Why would I need to know anything else?

James Roper you are eating my goddamn mind this morning. That is all.
Lenny Bruce, late in his career, was known for yelling out “We’re all gonna die!” Photographer Simon Hoegsberg seems to be continuing Bruce’s commentary on the one absolutely certain aspect of the human condition. He shot 178 people in Berlin over the course of 20 days, and 17 months later he emerged with a 100 meter photo that displays the banal rollercoaster that is the daily life of human beings. The photo, titled “We’re All Gonna Die - 100 meters of existence,” contains all the characteristics of any person’s life somewhere within its bounds — joy, sadness and everything in between. I like that it reminds me that there is no gap to bridge between myself and any of the 178 people in the photograph, except maybe our respective distances from each other in the world. Each of them will feel and do the things that I’ve done in my life at some point or another, that’s why it’s the human condition. So yes, with a certainty, we are all gonna die, but we’re all living, too, because you can’t have one without the other.
Leah Giberson’s work brings back every awkward and magical moment I’ve ever had walking alone through suburban environments. There’s just something alien about a school when it’s empty, or houses with no cars in the driveway at night. Why is it so easy for the places that people call home to look dead and empty when they’re not active?
