The War in Afghanistan began on October 7, 2001 as the armed forces of the United States of America and the United Kingdom, and the Afghan United Front (Northern Alliance), launched Operation Enduring Freedom, invading the country, in response to the September 11 attacks on the United States, with the stated goal of dismantling the Al-Qaeda terrorist organization and ending its use of Afghanistan as a base. The United States also said that it would remove the Taliban regime from power and create a viable democratic state. 10 Years of the war has resulted in thousands of adead soldiers, thousands of dead Taliban and thousands of dead civilians and the job is still not done.

James Mollison traveled around the globe and took some incredibly eye-opening photos of children's bedrooms. He then compiled them into a book, titled Where Children Sleep . Each pair of photographs is accompanied by an extended caption that tells the child's story. The differences between each sleeping space is striking. Mollison was born in Kenya in 1973 and grew up in England. After studying art and design at Oxford Brookes, and later film and photography at Newport School of Art and Design, he moved to Italy to work at Benetton's creative lab, Fabrica. http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/where-children-sleep

En los últimos años el ser humano ha logrado auscultar los confines del espacio sideral a través de la extensión tecnológica: el Hubble y otros telescopios de alguna forma han alterado nuestra conciencia, revelando los paisajes astrales que el ser humano solo había podido entrever durante sueños o visiones místicas. Profusos campos policromáticos, velos de luz diamantina, fuegos arrebolados, figuras que se dibujan vagamente con la ayuda de la pareidolia o a través de espejo esmeralda de Hermes: “como arriba, es abajo”. Numerosas culturas, entre ellas algunas de las más brillantes —como la maya, la griega y la india— han tejido historias fundacionales, arquetipos y mitologías en las que los dioses —y los hombres que de alguna manera alcanzan la divinidad, roban el fuego— se imprimen en el cosmos, se convierten en las estrellas, constelaciones y galaxias: como si eleveran su espíritu a la luz.

NYC’s Day and Night Combined in Stephen Wilkes Photography

For this Thursday we’ve made a series that captures a transitioning of day into night within a single photograph. In fact, this is going to be about a fine art project Stephen Wilkes has produced about New York in the beautiful patches of day and night . “Day to Night embodies a combination of my favorite things to photograph; people on the street melded with epic cityscapes, and the fleeting moments throughout the day and night,” noted the author. Well, we should admit that these exceptionally well done photographs add a surreal dimension to various iconic New York places. To split the landscapes from AM to PM and create such a surrealist effect, Stephen kept his camera at a fixed angle for up to 15 hours, then weaved and blended the shots into one frame.
