This is a pretty cool photoblog highlighting the impact of heroes on Gen X kids. My wife sent me this picture that is mental. I wonder if this kid grew up normal or with some problems.
From a gallery on American Ethnography (.com). Some great pictures of Southern California Lowriders.
More images and news are emerging from half way around the world. A country without a leader with the promise of elections in six months.
I've been getting a lot of news and information from the various blogs that the New York Times offers. Often, the writing is some of the best and the writers (especially the tech and sports writers) use the forum to work out stories. One of the most beautiful blogs is the Lens blog (http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com).
Today they've showcased what people do to their bodies in pursuit of beauty (or at least the image they want in their head). Some of the pictures highlight transformations that are stunning, others that are heartbreaking. Either way, the photographs highlighted today each tell their own story and are beautiful.
