Tattoos x Sang Bleu mag
Photo from Swiss tattoo magazine 'Sang Bleu'. Incredible tattoo! Whether on a body or in a notebook, I love the sketch-like image, especially its lively/aggressive line-quality and its candid sincerity - in the way that you can trace the history of its marks. 
Chris Jordan: "Intolerable Beauty" (2003-2005)
Photographer Chris Jordan captures the terrifyingly spectacular waste of American mass consumerism. In these portraits of consumption, Jordan sees "evidence of a slow-motion apocalypse in progress". 
"Desolate, macabre, oddly comical and ironic...darkly beautiful; for me its consistent feature is a staggering complexity." - C. Jordan 
(above: CELL PHONES, Orlando 2004) "Collectively we are committing a vast and unsustainable act of taking, but we each are anonymous and no one is in charge or accountable for the consequences...my hope is that these photographs can serve as portals to a kind of cultural self-inquiry." - C. Jordan 
Above: the rare 'solo-shot' of the exhibition. But like the others, this image reveals a history of wear & tear, of interaction & exhaustive use. I'm often fascinated by inflicted formation of shapes & colors -- indication that life happened, in the unplanned way it does. Perhaps this explains my penchant for decrepit objects. (And mangled old rockstars, I guess.) I'm always curious to know the stories, the significance behind each mark, discoloration, or imperfection. Kind of like wanting to know why you have that scar or tattoo. 
...Jenga.

PRC's 60th Bash
Awesome video of the Tiananmen Square parade.
China's 60th Anniversary national day - timelapse and slow motion - 7D and 5DmkII from Dan Chung on Vimeo.
Crazy to think it's already been 8 months since I was tooling around the Square w/ Quan & Cary. At the time it was completely void of crowds, and way too freezing to properly enjoy its historical/political/cultural significance.

Dead Weather: "Treat Me Like Your Mother"
One of my favorite videos from the summer. Rock, brrrRRaap, & roll.
Aerosmith x GAP
I still remember freaking out over this commercial in middle school. Here's Joe Perry & Steven Tyler jamming out for jeans. (1997)
