Dennis Hurley, an albino actor, made The Albino Code, a parody of Dan Brown’s best-seller Da Vinci Code.

Admittedly, I did try my best to audition for the role of Silas, not to further the stereotype, but to bring my own sense of realism to the role (not to mention, landing a part in a Ron Howard film would have been a pretty big break for a struggling actor). Of course, that plum of a role went to Paul Bettany (A Beautiful Mind, Wimbledon) a non-albino from Brooklyn.

So, instead of complaining endlessly, I wrote a short film parody, entitled The Albino Code, with the following premise: "What if the story of The Da Vinci Code could be told from Silas’s point of view? And what if Silas were an actual person with albinism thrust into a world of secret codes, mystery, and assassination?"

It even made Mona Lisa grin! Link

It’s hard to pick just one of Rarindra’s cool photos – they all have amazing depth, clarity, composition, and color.

This one is titled "Aceh, A Year After the Tsunami" and is captioned: "River in Banda Aceh where thousands bodies washed away by Tsunami".
