Photo Sets: Movie Graffiti

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Entering a world of PAIN!

/Film has a great collection of movie-related graffiti featured in their ‘Cool Stuff’ section today. Maybe 40% of the Flickr photos that were submitted had some tie to Star Wars, including one Yoda spray from Ithaca, but I ran across a couple of unexpected one too (Serpico and Sin City included). The Big Lebowski was also a favorite.

Batman!

This Old wooden Russian House

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

Up the stairs

Here are some snaps of an old ornate wooden house out in the snowy forests of Russia. The architecture dates back hundreds of years and the structure has remained virtually untouched since then. Brought to you by the place for all things Russian in English, English Russia.

I think that loosely translates from German into “neato tank art installation that’s made out of balloons”. More or less.

Balloon tank!

Nope, I don’t speak German neither… Good thing there are pictures.

Photo Sets – Lost America: Ghost Towns

Tuesday, February 19th, 2008

What I’m assuming is a side project of Design Shed’s founder Troy Paiva, the Lost America series is a beautifully retro slice of desolate and abandoned pieces of America’s past. The past in this case is otherwise defined as the time from the 1950s-mid 1970s when everyone drove a Cadillac and people wore hats to work.

Texaco Marine

North Shore Marina, Salton Sea. All, the letters are gone now. That white crust on the ground? Dead fish. Millions of dead fish. Night, 160T film, 100% full moon / star light, 8 minutes, f5.6.

Lucky Lager

Inside one of the out buildings at the ghost town Lockhart, CA. Night, full moon, totally dark room, LED flashlight. Canon 20D.

Mine

The stars spiral overhead at the massive abandoned mine complex in Grantsville, Nevada. Night, full moon, 6 minutes, f5.6, 100VS film. Available light only.
