Hong Kong, and a strange obsession with cats

Another cool photoblog. Check out the photoalbums there, too.

No Mr. Bond, I expect you to die

If you didn’t get your cold war military architecture fix from last week’s Swiss bunkers post, feast your eyes on this Soviet submarine base.

12 months (or more) in the middle kingdom

Mark Hobbs photoblogs his stay in China. Pretty damn cool.

Swiss bunkers

Leo Fabrizio:
For over four years, I have developed a photographic documentary work on Swiss fortified constructions – bunkers. Each element of these photographs has a relation with Switzerland and particularly the mountain landscape that is an inherent part of our identity. The bunkers are a integral part of a finely developed popular defense military system [...]

The big picture, redux

Another awesome image from Mark Thomas of Sorabji.com. Mentioned here before, Mark’s Big Picture feature is one of my favorites. Visit regularly, ye readers of archenemy (all three of ye).

Excellent goings on in the ‘hood

The big picture

Sorabji.com’s Mark Thomas wanders around NYC snapping interesting (to me, anyway) photographs, and posts them here. I’ve been enjoying these for years, and just thought I’d share. He’s also got interesting old photos picked up at flea markets and garage sales posted somewhere on his site, if you like that kind of ephemera.

Housing boom

So, my tennant has moved …halfway… out.

(Objects near mirror are larger than they appear - he’s pretty big)

I guess this is the downside of not driving much. And of course, since he’s built a new wing on his house that’s attached to the bushes alongside my parking space, the next time I drive somewhere he’s [...]

Awesome ephemera

This collector of old cameras in Central MA also develops any old film he discovers: how cool is that, I ask you? Damn cool.

(No idea if this is him, it’s just one of the photos. Because I’m a jerk, I’ve cropped and photoshopped these, but his site features the photos exactly as they were developed.)
This [...]

The lifestyle he’s accustomed to

Don’t blame me - I wasn’t even there!

Happiness is a Warm Dog

Take tiny little dog with very short fur from freezing cold yard, put on couch, add blankets straight from dryer:

Snug dog!

Sure is purty out

Guess it’s hard to see in a small photo. Oh well.

I’ll take three.

About the Sphere:
The spheres are made of two laminations of wood strips over laminated wood frames.The outside surface is then covered with clear fiberglass and finished. The result is a beautiful and very tough skin. The skin is waterproof and strong enough to take the impacts that come with life in a dynamic environment [...]
