I Usually Make Decisions Along the Way
Henry Gunderson, an 18 year old Bay Area native, has his first show starting July 23rd in San Francisco at Fecal Face Dot Gallery….look at this shit online, then imagine it live….or on a tshirt that I would wear everyday…..reminds me of WOWCH (www.wowch.com)….as much as Rumors loves some wowch, seems they’ve got real serious competition.

Moths, Flies & Dragonflies Encrusted with Nature's...
Although insects do not ‘sleep’ like humans do, they do enter a state of being immobile and insensitive to the world around them. Using a torch to guide his way, physiotherapist Miroslaw Swietek seeks out these motionless bugs around 3 am in Jaroszow, Poland and takes their pictures just millimetres away from their dew covered bodies.

Strut in Wonderland: Richmond Virginia Fashion...
If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?
“What if I should fall right through the center of the earth… oh, and come out the other side, where people walk upside down.”
