The Black Mouth - 37 Frames :

If tears were words, these reflections would have written themselves a thousand fold. We are back in Tokyo after our northbound Tohoku visit to aid with relief efforts and to start the process of documenting what is undoubtedly one of the most horrific natural disasters in recent history. The words won’t come easily, sometimes having a lens as a filter is a much preferred medium. Although I think my hands were shaking too much to be of any good. Hard-hitting journalists we are not. It’s not in our nature, with no avenue of disassociation. Hopefully simple, connected storytellers, we can...

C'est un truc absolument remarquable qui vient d'être réalisé avec cette plus grande photo d'intérieur au monde, celle de la bibliothèque du monastère de Strahov à Praque. Il aura fallu plusieurs centaines d'heures pour assembler plus de 3.000 clichés et réaliser ainsi une photo d'une définition de 40 gigapixels qui, si elle devait être imprimée sur papier, ferait plus de 23 mètres de large.

It’s all in the Hooves | GBlog | Epic pics | Scoop.it
Those are Alpine Ibex goats scaling a dam in Italy to lick the salt off of the rocks. Question is, how the hell do those guys get up there and stay up there? Why isn’t the bottom of the dam covered in shattered goat carcasses?
The answer lies in the design of the goat hoof. Unlike horses, goats have hooves comprised of two split toes. The outer part of each toe, which is shaped like a parabola when seen from below and is labeled “Wall” in the diagram below, is hard; the part marked “Sole” on the diagram is soft and rubbery.

And because the toes can operate independently, the goat can use just one to gain purchase on extremely narrow surfaces, or splay the toes to gain more contact area.

Le char du premier empereur chinois Qin Shihuang. 259-210 avant J-C

Le char du premier empereur chinois Qin Shihuang. 259-210 avant J-C | Epic pics | Scoop.it
Parmi les extraordinaires guerriers de terre cuite et les objets d’une pure beauté qui les accompagnent, sont, actuellement, exposés à la Galerie d’art de la Nouvelle Galles du sud, à Sydney, les deux chars en bronze retrouvés parmi les fouilles du mausolée de Qin Shiuang découvert à proximité du Mont Dabuzy, 150 km à l’ouest de la ville moderne de Xi’an, dans le Shaanxi.

Des 130 chars exhumés, ne reste que peu de choses puisqu’ils étaient en bois.
C’est donc une formidable opportunité, grâce à ces deux exemplaires en bronze, intacts, de se faire une idée de ce que pouvait être un quadrige en ces temps là.

Japan Earthquake: Two Weeks Later -

Japan Earthquake: Two Weeks Later - | Epic pics | Scoop.it
Alan Taylor - In Focus - The Atlantic
Two weeks after northeastern Japan was struck by a massive earthquake and tsunami, the cost of the disaster is becoming clearer. The Japanese government has estimated the direct damage at as much as $310 billion, making it the world's costliest-ever natural disaster. As of today, more than 10,000 deaths have been confirmed and another 17,000 people remain missing. At Japan's stricken Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant, it raised suspicions of a possible breach when two workers waded into water 10,000 times more radioactive than normal and suffered skin burns. Earthquake survivors return to their homes to collect what they can find, to mourn their losses, and try to find a sense of normalcy in lives that have been ripped apart. Collected here are recent images from northeastern Japan, 14 days after it was rocked by disaster on a historic scale. [46 photos]

In remembrance of Mohommed Nabbous ~ March 19 2011

This is a video made by Ectoplasm/ZengaZenga and Verdande in regards to Mohommed Nabbous.

Ce cyber-activiste anti-Kadhafi qui était ingénieur en télécom, avait réussi à contourner les coupures de réseaux et à créer sa propre télévision - AlHurra TV - pour informer le monde entier de ce qui se passait à Benghazi. Hier, armé seulement de sa caméra, il était allé filmer l’attaque du fief de l’insurrection par les forces du leader libyen. Il aurait été abattu pendant une fusillade. Mohammed Nabbous est mort à l’hôpital de Benghazi.

Last year while covering the Haitian earthquake aftermath, myself and several other photographers were in the downtown area of Port au Prince following local police as they attempted to maintain control over looting crowds. During the chaos Fabienne Cherisma, 15, was shot in the head by police and died instantly. During the next few minutes one of the images I made shows the scene and the many photographers capturing images of her lifeless body.
