Underwater Hockey

A little known sport, underwater hockey is what some divers like to do during the winter months when the outside water is too cold for diving. The sport was invented in Great Britain during the 1950′s when some British divers were looking for ways to stay fit during the winter.

In 2008 British technical creative director, Matthew Knight, had a unique idea: start leaving disposable cameras out for the public with instructions to be picked up, used to capture a couple of pictures and then passed on to others. Called the Disposable Memory Project he was hopeful that this photography experiment would be successful. Would people use the cameras and pass them on? How far would the cameras travel? Would they be returned?

Well, of the 399 cameras released, the organization has had 31 cameras returned to them with pictures from many different locations all over the world! Pictures from each camera are uploaded on the website, so that everyone can watch their individual journeys in a memory of photos.

Here is the website for those pics I speak of if you want to take a peek:

It has become such a phenom that someone has already written a book about it check it out!

over 500 participants braved temperatures hovering around freezing, but with wind chill making the air feel as cold as 20 degrees. Starting at Lir on Boylston Street, they ran a 1 1/4-mile loop down Boylston to Berkeley and back up Newbury Street. Each runner raised at least $250 to participate, with funds going to Crossroads for Kids and Bottom Line.

These runners wrote messages on the body, ranging from “Free Tiger” to this man’s proclamation of his love for dear old Mom.

Below are some images  and  video of this festive event ENJOY!!!!

Participants in the annual Santa Speedo Run drink at the Lir Bar before the event in Boston, Massachusetts.

Proceeds from the 1.25 mile through Boston’s Back Bay run will benefit local charities.

I came across this site in particular and although it is remenecent of the sites you have seen around it is different in the way that this time the pics of the past in the present are your pics. Yes I said your pics, they ask for you to upload your pics …

So come on those with the enthusiasm give it a try, they even allow for you to personalize the pic with a caption below with the words you want to share.

Below are a few examples of that along with a link to the site if you think you are brave enough or just want to share a bit of nostalgia with the world around you .

And while I am on the subject of photography, I should let you know that I will be adding a pages  to this blog  with different aspects of things that I like to share but do not always want to focus on the front page of my blog.  

There is a place for everything  and so my first added page will be for photography with incredible pics and the stories behind those that took the amazing pics that will be featured.  Maybe some tips and links to places those that are into photography or even novices like me can enjoy.  

I do hope once it is up you check it out and let me know what you think.

Nightmares Fear Factory

Soon after the funeral, Abraham Mortimer’s coffin was found unearthed and empty!

To this day it is said, he walks the halls for revenge on those who dare trespass on his beloved, and now abandoned factory.

The walk-through haunted house, has been operating for 30 years, on the site of the former Cataract Coffin Factory.

During the 15-minute guided tour, visitors follow a trail of red lights in complete darkness and are unknowingly photographed by two still cameras and two video cameras. (They can later purchase the photos.)

At any time, visitors can yell “Nightmares” and be escorted out. But, they’ll be added to the “chicken list” — now boasting more than 112,450 chickens — and given a “Chicken Card” so that when they the muster the courage they can return and get in free.

Those who are not among the faint of heart are given a “Survivor Card,” which basically gives them bragging rights.

Once a year, tens of thousands of participants gather in Nevada’s Black Rock Desert to create Black Rock City, dedicated to community, art, self-expression, and self-reliance.  They depart one week later, having left no trace whatsoever.  Burning Man is also an ever expanding year round culture based on the Ten Principles.  What Burning Man isn’t is your usual festival, with big acts booked to play on massive stages.  In fact, it’s more of a city then a festival, wherein almost everything that happens is created entirely by its citzens, who are active participants in the events. Aug 29th -Sept 5 2011.

Photographer Mathiew Young was there and this is his perspective on the event done through photographs!!!!! I hope you enjoy it.

I first saw this idea on projekt202. They were talking about how Stocking is the new planking.  
Remember those Stock photo sites where you can choose from all kinds of photos everything from 
family to office life, well the new thing going round the world these days is people doing their 
own version of those old stock photos and making them fun and fresh.  
Here are some examples below.

It is funny and refreshing to finally see some real life creep back into those stale stock photo's again. 
Projekt202 is taking submissions incase you do want to put your spin on something old 
and make it new and sometimes a little different. 
Here is the link to their site where you can enter your own take on the stock photo world. 
Find something fun and remember the most important part of this is to have a good time. 
Keep me update I am always interested in how creative people can be.

http://projekt202.com/blog/2011/there%E2%80%99s-a-new-meme-in-town/sp_blog/

Here are just a few more examples of the creative minds of people who are not afraid 
to get intouch with their creative side. 

In a campaign designed by the seoul branch of advertising agency cheil, tesco homeplus supermarket opened last fall
a virtual grocery store in a south korea subway station, permitting users to shop using their smartphones.

a large, wall-length billboard was installed in the station, designed to look like a series of supermarket shelves 
and displaying images and prices of a range of common products. each sign also includes a QR code. 
users scan the code of any product they would like to purchase, thereby adding it to their online shopping cart. 
after the web transaction is completed, the products are delivered to the user’s home within the day.

the strategy makes productive use of commuters’ waiting time, 
while simultaneously saving shoppers time spent going to the supermarket.

Remember that movie The Bucket List? The Joker and Lucius Fox are dying of some kind of old-person disease, and luckily for them, one of them happens to be stupid rich, so they go romping around the globe for one last kick before they get stuffed in a casket. One of the things on their list has them hanging out on one of the pyramids. Looking over the landscape of old tombs, they decide that they have witnessed something majestic.

“Check this shit out.”

That’s how we like the pyramids — the last wonder of the world sticking out from a deserted and endless sandbox that, if we are lucky enough to visit first-hand, can be scaled and explored. Along with, of course, the thousands upon thousands of other people attempting to do the exact same goddamn thing every day.

Not to mention the hundreds of local merchants and the array of buses that bring thousands of people to and from Cairo, which, by the way, is like right next door.

Oh, and did we mention the security and the admittance fees? Sure, Morgan Freeman can climb the pyramid, but only so many feet up and only after he pays out the ass for it.

His bucket list apparently includes transients and a gate.

If you decide to visit, be prepared. Almost every modern account of the pyramids from your average tourist has at least one story of being pestered by a merchant or being overwhelmed by a huge crowd. It’s like Disney, only with fewer water fountains.

There is a chance that you are not even aware of the Miami sign, so here is a shot of it from Bad Boys:

And here it is again in Bad Boys II, because Michael Bay is nothing if not subtle:

Aaaand here it is again in Transporter 2:

Again with a plane — in this case a plane that crashes into it. And again, it’s shot from the same unrevealing angle. So one would assume that there’s an airport somewhere nearby, right? Or maybe a bus station? Something that would require a sign to remind everyone what city they just arrived in? Well, in actuality, the sign isn’t in Miami at all — it doesn’t exist.

Go ahead and Google “Miami sign.” Seriously, go do it right now. If you did, you probably found this picture of it:

Via setbydesign.com

That would be the 50-by-15-foot prop sign made by the company Set by Design – which when contacted about it told us that it was made for the film Transporter 2 and was based on no actual sign in Miami.

This is disturbing for two reasons: First, the prop sign there isn’t the same sign that’s in Bad Boys or Bad Boys II, which you can tell by just looking at them (notice the font alone). In fact, all three signs are different, meaning someone built at least three versions of this imaginary sign. The second reason is that these two franchises were not even made under the same directors, writers or production companies, which means there are at least two people in the world who couldn’t think of a way to establish that their film was taking place in Miami other than literally writing it out in big letters, via a fake landmark.

Films like Desperado, From Dusk Till Dawn, The Way of the Gun and Once Upon a Time in Mexico have given us all that same fantasy: Rob a bank, hightail it down to Mexico and live the rest of your days resting in a wooden chair drinking tequila under a sombrero in a town that looks something like this:

Yep. Living the good life.

Suddenly, some pissed-off drug lord you ripped off shows up, and a full-blown firefight erupts — swarms of old ladies covered in knit blankets cry out in Spanish while crossing themselves and running into one of the four churches in sight. After a long and grueling battle, the drug lord is dead, and you move on to the next town, a traveling honorable gunman who will draw only when he has to.

Turns out that you are actually on the back lot of Universal Studios Hollywood, because no freaking town in Mexico actually looks like that anymore.

See, when you actually go to Mexico City, you can’t help but notice that the buildings not only are not a series of tan churches (in fact, Mexico has at most 7,000 churches, while the U.S. has around 450,000) but also seem like they came from the future.

By LAR Fernando Romero, Arturo Robles Gil
And as you may remember, there were not a lot of gunfights on The Jetsons.

There are no banditos running around raping and pillaging — in fact, the U.S. has twice as much rape and about 20 times more theft. Not to mention roughly four times as many overall crimes, so, you know, go America. If you were on the run from the law and rolled down to have a barroom knife fight with Danny Trejo, the cops would arrest the shit out of you. Then they’d send you right back to the U.S. to be tried and jailed, because Mexico is actually nowhere close to being a safe place for American criminals.

Obviously we’re not trying to say that there is no crime in Mexico — it certainly has its share of drug-related violence. It’s just not a lawless action-movie free-for-all.

Although we’d like to think that Enrique Iglesias carries around a rocket launcher, just in case.
