Jason who is a wedding photographer started taking photos of his two little daughters back in 2006 when his mom was diagnosed with non-Hodgkins lymphoma. The girls were constantly sick, with colds and coughs so he couldn’t always bring them to visit their grandmother. Jason wanted her to be able to see her granddaughters without catching their kid germs so he started a blog where his mom could see what was going on in their lives. Most of the ideas come from his daughters – eight-year-old Kristin and five-year-old Kayla. Website: jwlphotography.com | flickr
PHILOSOPHY POSTERS by Max Temkin | News | Design | Arts | Tech | Entertainment | Latest News | The Skunk Pot Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems, such as those connected with existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language. Philosophy is distinguished from other ways of addressing such problems by its critical, generally systematic approach and its reliance on rational argument. The word “philosophy” comes from the Greek φιλοσοφία (philosophia), which literally means “love of wisdom“. In this case, Max Temkin, the artist, wanted to create posters with quotes that motivated people to think ‘different‘.

25 Great Motivational Quotes You've Never Heard Of inShare66 63Probably my most read post ever was the 20 Greatest Motivational Quotes of All Time.

As I was trawling some quotes the other day it struck me how many amazing ones there were that I’d never heard before and I thought it would be cool to collate the best for your perusal. Now of course I realize that you may well have heard of one or two, but I genuinely hadn’t (except one), so please don’t give me a hard time or point out that you knew 18 out of 20 and thus I’m a philistine and deserve a damn good thrashing. 1.

«Besame, вesame mucho». Чью песню пели на 120 языках в 110 странах более семисот исполнителей? Besame, вesame mucho.Como si fuera esta noche la ultima vezBesame, вesame muchoQue tengo miedo a perderte, perderte despues... Это «чудо одного хита» ХХ века, уступающее в рейтинге только хиту «Yesterday», написала шестнадцатилетняя мексиканская девочка Консуэло Веласкес в 1941 году. Профессиональным музыкантом-инструментальщиком и композитором она написала много произведений больших и малых форм, концертировала как пианистка, но знают и любят ее всего по одной песне – «Besame mucho». Годом рождения Консуэло называют и 1916, и 1921 и 1924 год, а вот дату ее смерти весь мир узнал 22 января 2005 года. «Целуй меня, целуй меня крепче.Так, как если бы эта ночь была последней...»Написала эти страстные слова еще нецелованная девочка. И вот слова и музыка сложились в один момент, как с неба упали. А в 1944 году, когда песня была исполнена в США оркестром Джимми Дорси, она становится хитом номер один и начинает свое путешествие по всему миру.
