“I need to take the reality, to capture it. Life is beautiful enough like that.”
Some really cool images of San-Zhr Pod Village in Taiwan by photog Craig Ferguson. The project was commissioned by the government in the 1960s. After a number of deaths at the construction site, public opinion turned against the housing development and it was abandoned. The photos are really eerie and locals say ghosts of the dead construction workers haunt the site (of course). I caught the images on File Magazine’s site. Enjoy.
Being the image-heavy site that this is, I have got to tip my hat to heyokay.com. Really funny stuff. It only has been up for a few months, so you can click through the archives pretty quickly. From the About:
Hey! I’m a 26 year old information specialist that lives in Austin. Hey Okay is where I post my collection of pictures that I’ve gathered from various places. A lot of the pictures were found online, others were found in magazines, books, movies, junk stores, garage sales, and in the alley behind my old apartment. I plan on posting at least one image a day on Hey Okay, maybe two or more if I can get around to it.
With Fidel out and Raul in I am getting big into Fidel retrospective pieces. This showed up in the NYTimes a few weeks ago and I finally got around to watching it. Really cool. The early ’60s in Cuba must have been just the strangest time. The US isn’t quite sure what to do with this guy. Cuba is still full of hope and optimism. This photoessay is great. Watch for the picture of Fidel sitting in the frontseat of the car, looking into the backseat with that ak-47 tucked into the backside of the chair. HERE.
