Yusuf Karsh



I love Karsh's photography...I love his face.
He had kind and sympathetic eyes...

(Click on the self-portrait of Karsh for more of his photos.)

...and speaking of famous Canadian Immigrant Photographers...let's look at Boris Spremo

Serbian Canadian Photographer.



I love A Yankee in Belgrade's photos.
There's a sentimental and lovely quality to her observational photography.

She had me at her tag:

"I'm an American woman married to a Serb, who's lived and worked in Belgrade for over 30 years. I've come to love the people along with all their idiosyncracies, and hope that you'll learn something more about Belgrade and Serbia other than what the media would always like you to believe."

The Problem with Hotel Soap.

Click on the photo to read letters about an incident at a
London hotel and one of it’s guests.

The hotel ended up submitting the letters to the London Sunday Times!

I couldn't help but laugh when I found this...

People who deserve it:

A punch, that is....

For example:

The Loser Who Laments About Turning 25

With all the bills, disease, and global warming floating around, life can be tough. But for “Loser Who Laments About Turning 25” all is trumped by the impending halfway to fifty mark.
Even as he thumbs through the wads of disposable income that accompanies a full time job and no dependents, he grieves for his lost youth.
Should you catch “Loser Who Laments About Turning 25” crying over his candles, politely remind him that some people have real problems, one face punch at a time.

Is it really 2009?

Roissy in DC helps men identify sluts.

I don't know where to start on this festival of misogyny.

See?
This is what happens when girls go to clubs and pathetically vie for male attention...or behave like men do when it comes to sex.

A percentage of women do it, and next thing you know...dudes like this think that most women are whores...(the comments are just as bad).

Some of the "tips" have a grain of merit, but taken to the ridiculous...most are outrageous...and finally, racist.

I think this guy's mom must have really effed him up.

Either way, I don't want this jackass on the jury of a rape case.

Techno Baba!



I didn't immediately get this...I'm surprised Fox News screeners allowed the racist message to make it through on New Year's Eve.

I've been waiting for this to happen.

If you ask me, it's about time.
