Most street art is awesome, especially the 3D ones, but these ones are so, how do I put it, down to earth, even down to the gutter. How can they not bring a smile to your face?

Matthias Heiderich sees form and geometry in the daily scenes around him. The shadow of a streetlamp projected onto the wall of a building, the bold colors of a handrail, the repetitive nature of many of the design elements in our modern architecture — all lend to making Heiderich’s photography interesting.
If your photography has become stale, or simply to exercise your photographic eye, try to see the interesting composition in the daily: patterns, shadows, colors and especially geometric shapes. They’re there, all around you; you just have to look.

The London community of Instagramers have scheduled an exhibit of its photographers called My World Shared. It’s headlined as “An exhibition of personal perspectives shared through Instagram.”
My World Shared captures the concept of Instagram – to record in images our world around us, our lives, our outlook, our views, and share that view with the rest of the world. It is an individual view, but one that others can relate to, like postcards from a friend.
My World Shared Exhibition will take place at the East Gallery – Brick Lane – London.
The Exhibition will be opened for Public on the 22nd and 23rd of October 2011, from 12pm until 8pm.

So you think you have lots of followers on Twitter and/or friends on Facebook? Maybe. But how do they really compare to significant events in history? This is what the BBC’s How Many Really? site will show you. It tends to put things into perspective.
How Many Really? compares the number of people involved in key historical events or situations to the people you know through Facebook or Twitter. You can also add your own numbers — for example, the amount of students in your class.

A companion site is: How Big Really? that takes important places, events and things, and overlays them onto a map of where you are.

Jim Denevan is a patient man, as are probably all artists (except those who simply throw paint against canvas, ha, ha). He makes works of art on sandy beaches, by hand, using a stick or leaf broom, with the latter sometimes tied and dragged behind his bicycle (or pickup truck). As the video shows, he walks, draws a circle, walks some more, draws another circle, and on and on until the drawing is complete. There must easily be about 100 circles in that drawing. Now if you’ve ever tried drawing a circle freehand, you know how difficut it can be to get it as perfectly round as possible.
He has to finish his sand drawings before the high tide comes in and washes them all away. Do you remember being upset when someone messed up your drawing in elementary school?

theAtlantic has published some dramatic photos of the Hurricane Irene aftermath. Though it was not as bad as feared, sparing some states, there was nevertheless devastation to property, catastrophic flooding in Vermont and other states and, unfortunately, deaths. This is what a hurricane is and many people living in the islands that are frequently in a hurricane’s path are very familiar with the devastation and misery that a powerful hurricane [also called cyclone] can bring.
