Sad news that photographer Corrine Day has passed away.

It's 60 years since the war started in Korea. The Big Picture has a round up.

when did this happen? Aiptek 3D camcorder: Aiptek's new 3D-HD camcorder is the most powerful on the market today. Utilizing powerful, dual-HD sensors allows you to capture 3D stills and videos that can be converted with the included software to work with most major brand 3D televisions.

It also has the ability to shoot video and capture still photos in standard 2D. Open up a whole new Dimension of video with Aiptek's 3D-HD camcorder.

Sunday June 7th marked the 66th anniversary of D-Day. The Big Picture says it best. 

The Big Picture has a topical round up of photos - documenting 1980's huge volcanic eruption of Mount St Helens in Washington state.

in case you missed yesterday's Metro, another fun project: Stefan Le Du has been taking pics of his Stormtroopers every day

A typically outstanding collection of pictures up at The Big Picture, documenting the 35th anniversary of the end of the Vietnam War.

This one caught my eye. Look how neat those protest signs are!

It's long overdue, but I've slung up a load of photos from me and BC's recent Japan tour - mostly inane photos of Japanese stickmen, but also a few other bits and some snow videos. Enjoy.

The US National Archives have made a large chunk of their Documerica project from the 1970's available on Flickr. In the wake of the Nixon-created Environmental Protection Agency, the project set up to document the environmental state of the US at the time - with Koyaanasqatsi-esque results.

Star Wars On Earth - great set of photos from Cédric Delsaux over at WorldFamousDesignJunkies

More info has emerged on the forthcoming third LP from Band of Horses, Infinite Arms, due to arrive on May 18th. The satisfyingly familiar cover is by Christopher Wilson, who's portfolio looks like a peek inside my iPod. Buy the image from The Funeral single here.

Looks like old favourite Sub Pop have got the heave-ho however, with the release coming via Brown Records/Fat Possum/Columbia/TopSpin.

Nothing makes for a lazy blog post quite like a new set of photos from The Big Picture. Here's New York City AND Las Vegas from above.
