Total Tribal

A plane flew over an indigenous tribe in the Brazilian-Peruvian area and caught a rare glimpse at a tribe that has never had contact with the outside world. The photos are awesome, but it's a little upsetting that now these guys are probably freaked out by wondering what the hell that big silver bird was. The plane flew over once and saw some children and women out in the open. The next fly-over about 2 hours later found the people painted in bright colors, which is typical of a tribe when they are threatened or get aggressive. Get more photos and the whole story here.

Tichy Tocky

This photo doesn't seem all that impressive, until you found out that it was taken with a homemade camera by a homeless man that wondered the streets in the '70s.

"Tichý is truly one of the great ‘finds’ of unknown artists who worked on the outside edges of the art world. Following the Communist takeover, Tichý spent some eight years in prison camps and jails for no particular reason other than he was ‘different’ and was considered subversive. Upon his release in the early 70’s, Tichý wandered his small town in rags, pursuing his obsession as an artist with the female form by photographing in the streets, shops and parks with cameras he made from tin cans, childrens spectacle lenses and other junk he found on the street. He would return home each day to make prints on equally primitive equipment, making only one print from the negatives he selected."

Photo Emulsion Lifts

Theres a Polaroid process that involves lifting the photo off of the paper using water, and then you can transfer the image to another medium. Here's an example:
And here's a quickie tutorial on how to do it.

Amos Moses

Here's some good 'ol music. Jerry Reed's Amos Moses. The video is just one photo, but the song quality is pretty good.

Unusual Kentucky

A few years ago, I found a site called Unusual Kentucky. The web site format sucked, but the articles were really really neat. There were some real obscure stories and facts from Kentucky history that were really interesting. For some reason they quit updating it and after reading it all, I had no reason to go back. I tried again this morning and they have finally made some changes that were really welcomed. They switched servers and changed to a new blog format which makes it a whole lot easier to read. Check it out.

Wy?

Just in case Wyoming is one of your tourist desinations, Backpacker has some sweeeeet trail information. They include photo ops and exact GPS locations to make traveling a little easier. The Phelps Lake Trail sounds awesome. Be sure to read the Waypoint directions about half way down the page.

I hadn't visited the Backpacker website for a while, but they have an interactive map on the homepage that you can use to quickly locate trails in any state. It's a really cool feature.
