Man, he really nailed the lighting on this one. 
Monkey got game.

It was fifty years ago today that Bob Dylan had his first recording session at Columbia Records. Dylan was backup harmonica for folk singer Caroline Hester — It was shortly after that Dylan was offered his own deal with Columbia.

Guys, Bobby D has been rocking the shit out of life for over half a century. So cool.

Have you ever stopped to wonder where the image was taken, or who took it? In fact, the image is so crisp you might have assumed it wasn’t real at all.

The man behind the camera  is American photographer Charles O’Rear. Don’t let his name fool you into thinking that the photo was in fact taken in Ireland. Bliss, as it turns out, is in California. In Sonoma County to be exact.

The photo was taken in 1996, years before Windows XP launched, and before the area was converted into a vineyard.

Ah, the photo that over 76% of computer users have seen everyday (at least in XPs hayday). Crazy cool. I’m also sure that that man is poor. very poor.

You guys ever listen to that radio show where the fellow signs off by saying “and now you know the rest of the story”? WELL NOW YOU KNOW.

Don’t feel bad, man. I squint like this in the sun, too.

I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

Take a picture of me outside
under my favorite gnome

I’ll wave to all my fans 

For some songs, the world spins slower. 

Long live the Mammoth Men.
I also want to point out that my night shots never turn out this clear.
Total jealousy provoking.

Not sure why, but this picture completely does it for me (even though in an imperfect state). It feels more raw, I think.

I took it this past Friday while on a trip to the BioDome in Montreal with Ms Liu.
