The Cool Pictures Thread

[Ox.]

i was at a party in LA a couple years back, idk if it was drunk talk or dude was just flat out lying but he told me his good buddy or good buddy's buddy had taken this photo. a soldier saw the guy take the picture on the balcony of the hotel and then minutes later the building was swarmed by soldiers. they got to the guys room and beat him but did not find the camera. he hid the camera in the toilet tank. sounds like a cool story, hope it's true 

 

[MetalMario]

no the story is true but not the camera but the undeveloped film of it was hidden in the tank. when they later searched through the room they found nothing. also when the maids went through to clean they got nothing. later when the journalist went back to find it, it was still there. he swears that the only thing that could've ruined a historic picture of a historic moment was a simple toilet flush which no one ever did

trunks! havent seen you in hella long. you dont post anymore in the Soccer thread. you lurk instead of getting inbetween the bickering?

Yeah its "silly season" so I tend to stay away as its bound to make almost everyone nuts!

Plus I'd much rather look at cool pics like the ones you keep adding in here.

Internationally known for his captivating, three-dimensional visual illusions, Argentine artist Leandro Erlich (previously featured here and here) has been commissioned by the Barbican to create a new installation in Dalston.
Resembling a theatre set, the detailed facade of a Victorian terraced house – recalling those that once stood on the street – lies horizontally on the ground with mirrors positioned overhead. The reflections of visitors give the impression they are standing on, suspended from, or scaling the building vertically.
Sited on a vacant lot on Ashwin Street, Erlich will design and decorate the façade to resemble the houses that previously stood on the block. Erlich’s installation will be accompanied by talks, workshops and live performances, exploring themes related to the project, including architectural history, urbanism, and perception, which will be developed in collaboration with local organisations (more info here).
