Sunday Click-Around

The photo is from William Eggleston's Los Alamos Portfolio. You can see all of William's Portfolios here.
I found William at The Paul J. Getty Museum website, The Where We Live - Photographs of America - The Berman Collection.

And while we're in the whole feel of the 50's and 60's, check out Art-o-mat. It's a pretty cool site with models of old Automat cigarette vending machines. Not to be seen much anymore since it's practically a crime to smoke now...but not enough of a crime to make it illegal and stop making zillions of dollars on taxes from it, though.
So, the government will tsk, tsk it...but still make the cash off of it (wink wink).

Here is the Thousand-Hand Bodhisattva Masterpiece.
It is pretty amazing.

Little kids who have big talent always amaze me. Here is an 11 year old Yodeller.
Now, you know that this kid is an old soul if she even knows what Yodelling is. Even though I can't really take too much Yodelling, I still can appreciate that it's not an easy thing to do.

While we're on the topic of young kids who have talent, watch 11 year Bianca Ryan singing "You're gonna love me" by Jennifer Holiday.
It's when you see something like Bianca Ryan that you can actually "get with" the possibility of reincarnation.

WeirdoVideo is a blog "collection of rare & authentic 16mm films of cultural, historical and ironical significance".
I like it.

Want to look at beautiful pictures of European life?
Check out Jan Zwart Photography. It made me sigh with longing.

For a bit of comedy, here's The story of Oedipus in 8 minutes, performed by vegetables.

Check out the art of convicted forger A. Schiller who was serving his time in Sing
Sing prison in the late 1800s. Just go there and read about what he did in prison.

If you hate Telemarketers, you'll enjoy this little audio prank.

I think... that's about it...
