Amazing Peoples In Thailand

  In late September and early October in Thailand held an unusual vegetarian festival. I order to Nine Emperor Gods give them good health and peace of mind, these people during the festival , which lasts 9 days, must comply with many rules. These days they do not eat meat, drink alcohol, have sex or wear white clothes, and must maintain body hygiene and kitchen accessories… What’s really spectacular is sticking various objects through the face: knives, sabers, saw, glasses, spears… Every drop of blood, and every scar is a gift for purifying the soul. This expression of devotion and love to the Gods during the ceremony is often a very creepy and bizarre , but always spectacular.

Base Jump From KL Tower Photography

BASE jumping, also sometimes written as B.A.S.E. jumping, is an activity where participants jump from fixed objects and use a parachute to break their fall. “BASE” is an acronym that stands for four categories of fixed objects from which one can jump: buildings, antennas, spans (bridges), and earth (cliffs).

The Kuala Lumpur Tower is a tall tower located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. The KL Tower is the seventh tallest telecommunication tower in the world (after Tokyo Sky Tree in Japan, the Guangzhou TV & Sightseeing Tower in China, CN Tower in Canada, the Ostankino Tower in Russia, the Oriental Pearl Tower in China, and the Borj-e Milad in Iran). Built to enhance the quality of telecommunication services and the clarity of broadcasting, KL Tower is a symbol of Kuala Lumpur.

1986 Guinness World Records

Ashrita Furman, an American, grew up in Queens, was born in 1954, the very time when the first Book of Guinness World Records was published. It was published only in 1000 copies.

By Christmas that year, “Guinness” became the most selling book in UK. The publishers all over the world became interested in this book, so at this moment it is being translated into more than 30 different languages. The very book became a recorder, after Bible it is the most selling book in the world.
While being a small boy, Ashrita Furman was really clumsy and he wasn’t to good in sports. All of those things have changed while he was a teenager, when he became interested in Eastern learning, especially for Indian teacher Shri Chinmoya. Suddenly he realized that if he believes in himself and his own abilities, he will be able to do all those things he, by that time, believed he is not able to do.

Top 6 Most Eligible Bachelors in the World

This is the list of the most eligible bachelors in the world. The men on the list were chosen by women from all around the world. These men are either royalty or have made their fortunes from scratch. But one thing is for sure they are all extremely handsome.

1. Prince Harry

 

Prince Harry is on the top of the list of most eligible bachelor. When you are a prince you don’t have to do pretty much anything to get on the top of the list. In the summer of 2010 he split up with Chelsea Davy, the daughter of a successful entrepreneur from South Africa. If you want to meet him, you just might find him dancing in one of the posh clubs in London. Prince of Wales is famous for scandals but since he bears the title of Captain Army Air Corps no man can match him. That’s why he’s number one.

Afghanistan In 2013 Pictures

US troop withdrawal from Afghanistan began in earnest in 2011 with President Obama's announcement in June. 10,000 troops were removed by the end of summer 2011, 23,000 additional troops by the end of summer 2012, and troops continue to come home at a steady pace as Afghan security forces move to protect their own country. The mission changes from "combat" to "support." By 2014, that transition will be complete with the Afghans responsible for their own security, but US troops will remain in country. How many is unclear. In this post, we share images from February in country (and a few from January 31st.) -

Young Photographers Photography

As professional and amateur cameras reveal more of the world at an increasingly rapid pace, the field of photojournalism is becoming a harder place to make a living. Yet many young photographers are pursuing careers as visual storytellers, despite a market in transition. Some study the craft at universities, others carve their own path. While building their portfolios, they have the luxury of time to explore intimate stories about relevant issues and develop a personal vision. Without the pressures of the 24-hour news cycle, these photographers are learning to make images that shout rather than whisper. Covering issues near and far, often out-of-pocket and on their own time, they posses a deep affection for people and a common goal of building a better understanding of our world. The future of photojournalism may be uncertain, but this generation of photographers will have a hand in writing the new rulebook. The following are images from students of photojournalism and photographers aged 25 and under. The featured images are peak moments captured through eager eyes, personal visions, or intimate glimpses into long-term projects about topics that matter to the photographers and their community. --

Tamir Kalifa [ Editor's note: Tamir Kalifa was the Boston Globe's summer photography intern in 2012. Offered the opportunity to create a Big Picture post, he chose the theme of photojournalists under 25. His search took him to a few international photography schools, the College Photographer of the Year contest, and the Eddie Adams Workshop Facebook group, among other sources. The result, while yielding some fantastic pictures, is as yet incomplete. I'd like to use the occasion of this post to solicit photographs for another "photojournalists under 25" post, hopefully attracting more photographers outside Europe and North America. If you're a photojournalist under 25 and want to display your work on The Big Picture, post your picture on our Facebook page, along with full caption information. We'll gather the best of the submissions and publish the post sometime later this year. For those over 25 who'd like to contribute to The Big Picture, we'll announce a theme soon for a future readers-only post. -

Amazing Fashion Lists And Pictures

For some, fashion is a corporate industry. For others, it's an artistic expression. And for still others, it's an embrace of cultural traditions. Fashion is a shallow pursuit in the eyes of many, and a deep embodiment of identity for others. Definitions of what is fashionable are myriad and contradictory, but the annual spectacle of the presentation and the scramble of the preparations endure long after this year's look is forgotten. Venues vary from a junkyard in Sao Paulo to the Royal Albert Hall in London. Creations from the absurd to the avant-garde by turns entertain, inspire, or pay homage. Gathered here are images from fall and winter shows both famous and obscure.

I've gathered a handful of those backstage glimpses from recent fashion shows, most taken in New York, and share them with you below.

National Archives Photos Ang Big Pictures

“Searching for the Seventies” takes a new look at the 1970s using remarkable color photographs taken for a Federal photography project called Project DOCUMERICA (1971-1977). Created by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), DOCUMERICA was born out of the decade’s environmental awakening, producing striking photographs of many of that era’s environmental problems and achievements. Drawing its inspiration from the depression era Farm Security Administration photography project, project photographers created a portrait of America in the early-and-mid-1970s. They documented small Midwestern towns, barrios in the Southwest, and coal mining communities in Appalachia. Their assignments were as varied as African American life in Chicago, urban renewal in Kansas City, commuters in Washington, DC, and migrant farm workers in Colorado. The exhibit, featuring 90 images from the project opens March 8, 2013 at the National Archives in Washington D.C. It runs through September 8, 2013. What follows is a small sampling of the collection digitized by the National Archives.
