In two weeks, the Atlanta Flickr Group is having a meet-up to learn how to shoot strangers: “How to approach interesting people, take their picture, and not get killed or your equipment stolen in the process.” Could be cool.
This is awesome. The photographer sets his camera timer for 2 seconds, then runs as far as he can before the camera snaps. [via joshua blankenship]
I love Wal-Mart. Both of my local Wal-Marts are pretty incredible in the “cleanliness” category–I wonder how this one slipped through the cracks? Actually, it’s not really that dirty, but the “sheer Ramen devastation” and emptied shelves in general is pretty striking. That’s a stocker’s nightmare. Empty shelves mean 1) you’re going to keep losing sales until you fill it again and 2) you’ve got a lot of filling to do. Makes me kind of wistful about the hundreds of nights I spent stocking shelves at the local Kroger.
Photos of discarded Christmas trees. Ah, the symbolism.
Photos of surprisingly colorful and exuberant bus stop architecture from the old Soviet Union.

The New York Times has some interesting, depressing visualizations for data from the Iraq War. There’s some demographic analysis of casualties and a mosaic, the faces of the dead.
“We again asked the Princeton University community to submit imagesÄîand, for the first time, videos and soundsÄîproduced in the course of research or incorporating tools and concepts from science.

Here’s a bunch of pictures of tiny foods: A wee salad. A little quail egg. World’s smallest pancake… and cheeseburger. Mini mince pies. And another miniature burger, as seen on tv. Tiniest dill pickle. Really really small frozen yogurt. Fast food (okay, so it’s candy, but at least it’s a full value meal). Tiny cherry pies. A personal watermelon. A tiny crab. A mini omelette. A small bowl of tuna curry. And itty bitty cupcakes.
