Happy Day of Thor, Youdopia. This image is the first photo of a person. He’s getting a shoeshine, so he was fairly still long enough for the ten minute exposure to capture him. Neato? Yes. Coolest Thing Ever? Yes. Thank you, Peta Pixel for the awesome story behind this image.

The story behind this is that a cub photographer from Life went to Princeton when Einstein died, [...]

Jimmy has written/compiled a photographic autobiography which is being published by Genesis Publications. They are an exquisitely wonderful publisher. They [...]
I must be getting old, Youdopians. The younger Mojozoso would definitely think this lego photo recreation of the execution of a Viet Cong prisoner (the famous Eddie Adams photo) was sick and twisted, and kinda funny. I t generally don’t really w00t that much over lego stuff, or anyone who fucks with a Barbie and [...]
