Manuel Corchuelo's $1.2 million Shack.

Posted by Alex in Home & Garden, Pictures on January 13, 2006 at 2:22 am

From the website:

Its front windows wish you “Feliz Navidad” in paint that won’t wash off. The landscaping consists of four shriveling cacti and a patio piled with empty cat food boxes. Inside, it’s 700 square feet of confirmed bachelor’s clutter.

Michael Light's 100 Suns.

Posted by Alex in Arts & Crafts, Weapons & War on January 13, 2006 at 2:20 am

A stunning collection of nuclear bomb tests. From the website:

After the Limited Test Ban Treaty between the U.S. and the Soviet Union in 1963, nuclear testing went underground. It became literally invisible – but more frequent: the United States conducted a further 723 underground tests until 1992. 100 SUNS documents the era of visible nuclear testing, the atmospheric era, with 100 photographs drawn by Michael Light from the archives at Los Alamos National Laboratory and the U.S. National Archives in Maryland.
