Time-lapse

Ever looked out of the window all day, just watching the world go by?


That is what looking at timelapse videos reminds me of. These 3 timelapse videos by 3 different photographers that move in closer to Tokyo one at a time: from the skyline, to looking at the city itself and finally at street view.

Focusing on the city itself, Tokyo and Yokohama:

Time-lapse photography is a cinematography technique whereby each film frame is captured at a rate much slower than it will be played back. When replayed at normal speed, time appears to be moving faster and thus lapsing. This causes normally slow movements to appear more pronounced.

Take for example, images of the day sky captured every hour. The sun would appear to be moving much faster than in actuality.

Haruhiism

It is the belief about the goddess Haruhi Suzumiya (rival to the false goddess Mio of the K On! gospels) who created this world 3 years prior to the biblical events in Season 1. Clergy consist of aliens, espers and time travellers.

I have personally witnessed Haruhi sightings around the world at:Ancient Greek temple

Buddhist Temple

The Blue Mosque

Church in Kiruna

Soccer Temple

Angkor Wat

Even before I sleep...

A video version of the Haruhi sightings:


Holy dances observed by Haruhiists take on various forms.

Kiss My Ass





This couch from the Brighton Museum, England lends new meaning to the phrase "kiss my ass". Those interested in more refined pursuits can head over to Indian Palace next door.


Sights in England certainly leaves some confused:Dogs in England turn into boots eventually?

Secret alien testing site or bubble wrap gone wrong?

This is near Redruth, England (no, really.)

Eat more people, Envoy.
EATTTTT

My response:

I do.

Food can be personally prepared:
Beggar's chicken, homemade 2004
Food Preparation:
Implements for making goat's cheese, a shepherds home, Naxos Island, Greece


Fast food can be considered gourmet with certain guises and naming:
"Fruits de mer" (Fruits of the sea in French) - basically a medley of fried seafood

Insects can be eaten:
Locust about to be eaten, Thailand, 2006

Food is international:
French crepe in Arequipa, Peru

Indonesian "Volcano cake" in Seoul

Sharing is caring:

Lovers of meat might try something more exotic.

Kip

Eating has also inspired concepts in internet memes:
Vore Snake

For lovers of biology

On vorephilia (a fetish around the act of eating)

Intermission


Am feeling nostalgic today. So just decided to post a period in my life which I spent contemplating, 2006 to 2007. Images are from my short term volunteer camp in rural Thailand followed by a tour in Korea, and then a mostly-failed hunt for Aurora Borealis in the Arctic Circle and a sojourn to North Africa. This is particularly meaningful to me as I emotionally passed from child to adult at this special time.
If anyone interested in the place and year of any photo, please ask. Thank you.

Ladies and gentlemen, and 2d characters, I present, "Intermission".







For those who prefer video:
