1)  eBoy Does Baltimore

eBoy, a group of 3 German artists that create amazingly intricate pixel art (and toys), have created a pixelized version of the Baltimore city docks.  I bet this print looks amazing up close.  It’s only $25 bucks too.

Hi-Def Shot HERE.  Buy HERE.

2)  The Big Picture does Antarctica

Why is The Big Picture such an amazing blog?  The photgraphs they feature consistently blow me away.

View the rest HERE.

3)  Dark Days

This documentary has been appearing on pretty much every blog I read so I decided to check it out.  Straight up repost from kottke.org

 

“Dark Days is a documentary released in 2000 about a group of homeless people living in an abandoned Manhattan railway tunnel.

When he relocated from London to Manhattan, Marc Singer was struck by the number of homeless people he had seen throughout the city. Singer had befriended a good number of New York’s homeless and later, after hearing of people living underground in abandoned tunnel systems, he met and became close to a group of people living in The Freedom Tunnel community stretching north from Penn Station past Harlem. After living with them for a number of months, he decided to create a documentary in order to help them financially. The film’s crew consisted of the subjects themselves, who rigged up makeshift lighting and steadicam dollies, and learned to use a 16mm camera with black & white Kodak film. Singer himself had never been a filmmaker before, and saw the production of Dark Days as a means of gaining better accommodation for the residents of the tunnel.

The entire film is available for viewing at Google Video. (via waxy)”
