Pictures of Moments Speak More than Thousand Words...... Picture can speak thousands of words. Random pictures of insignificant moments always been the most important and most valuable. Photographers and painters beautifully imprint huge number of events, objects and types. Some do it by accident on the momentary desire. Others do it in order to fix the time for the future. For me they are really different and thoughtful, simple but speak lots of words……… 1. Photographer – Zilvinas Valeika 2. 3. One of the best photos on the version of Red Bull Illume 2010. 4.

The most beautiful suicide On May 1, 1947, Evelyn McHale leapt to her death from the observation deck of the Empire State Building. Photographer Robert Wiles took a photo of McHale a few minutes after her death. The photo ran a couple of weeks later in Life magazine accompanied by the following caption: On May Day, just after leaving her fiancé, 23-year-old Evelyn McHale wrote a note. From McHale's NY Times obituary, Empire State Ends Life of Girl, 20: At 10:40 A. The serenity of McHale's body amidst the crumpled wreckage it caused is astounding. Update: Here's a better photo of Warhol's print. Update: Here's the page as it appeared in Life Magazine. Update: Codex 99 did some research on McHale and her activities on the day she died.

Arquetipos modernos del horror: terroríficos montajes de Joshua Hoffine (FOTOS Quizá, entre las emociones que el ser humano puede sentir, ninguna tan atávica como el miedo, ninguna tan profunda, tan enraizada en nuestra historia más antigua, lo mismo como individuos que como especie. Sin embargo, con el desarrollo de la cultura las manifestaciones del miedo también se han modificado, pasando de elementos primitivos y en su mayor parte relacionados con la naturaleza, a formas mucho más refinadas y en relación con aspectos de muy diversa índole. Así, por poner un ejemplo, el llamado “temor pánico”, en evidente relación con las potencias indómitas del mundo natural condensadas en el dios Pan, se ha convertido y multiplicado en una profusión de reflejos que recalan a veces en las entidades menos esperadas. Una atractiva síntesis de esta transformación contemporánea del horror se encuentra en la labor fotográfica del estadounidense Joshua Hoffine, quien ha destacado en el montaje de elaboradas escenas que buscan conceptualizar estos arquetipos contemporáneos del miedo.
