photography

Now you have to return the favor.

It's actually for the good of the galaxy.  Everyone knows that if you take a photo of a photograph the entire universe is likely to collapse in on itself.  It's more dangerous than a thousand Hadron Colliders.

"Look, whatever you do, when you take the picture, just make sure a fish isn't swimming in between the camera and my head so that when the picture comes out it looks like I have the head of a fish."

"Come on.  That seems highly unlike–"

"JUST DO IT, MAN!  JUST MAKE SURE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN!"

Listen… ladies… if a guy needs to go through all the above to ask you to marry him, you are definitely too good for him.

Plus, it's a cool looking project, dude, but seriously?  You're so insecure that you need to make this gigantic gesture to propose to your girlfriend, but then you are so self-important you want the whole world to see your work so you spread the video across the Internet??

You need to figure out where your esteem is at, buddy!

Apparently, the Tosh.0 blog now covers art.  Who knew?

On our radar today, Jon Rafman, an artist who — according to designboom — has created a series of pieces culled entirely from Google Street View.  He searches their archive of drive-by photography looking for interesting images, takes a screengrab and then blows them up to wall-mounting size.

It's great for him because, unlike a real photographer, he doesn't have to actually take any pictures.  Saves him a fortune on film and developing.  (Or at least it could if people still used film and developing.)

Additionally, I feel like he's got to be breaking some sort of law which can really help his artist street cred.  I believe it's considered heroic in the art world when you take on a giant business conglomerate.  Heroic or "the easy way out"… I forget which one.

Regardless, there are a couple awesome finds such as this gun-toting maniac and these Segway riding weirdos.  And you have to respect a man who spends his days scanning every inch of Google Street View.

Oh wait…  Did I say "respect"?  I meant "get a real job!"
