Jaunted reader ultraclay! has just dropped more photos in our Flickr pool, and we love, love, love this shot.
While this picture was made on the sly--so we don't know this guy's backstory--we like to think that he's been on a super-bender in Tokyo that's just coming to an end. To snap in your own candid shot, hang around bustling Shiodome with your camera on the ready.
Although V Australia still hasn't started service from the United States, it's never too early to start planning what to do when you finally arrive Down Under. In fact, you can continue the full Richard Branson experience by using Virgin Blue to fly to Hamilton Island from cities across the nation. The island destination is the largest inhabited island of the Whitsunday Islands off the eastern coast of Queensland.
Visitors can also get there by ferry. Upon arrival there's no need to swing by the car rental counter and decline the damage waiver, since mainland vehicles aren't allowed on the island. Golf carts, or buggies, are going to be your best bet.
Flickr user ultraclay! just dropped a bunch of photos into the Jaunted Photo Pool, and we were particularly taken by this snap from a Yomiuri Giants game in Tokyo. What makes Japanese baseball so special?
The entire experience was fun and culturally very interesting, but the best part has to have been the beer girls. Unlike stadiums in the US where pisswater beer is poured and then carried around until you finally get it, warm and flat, this beer is always fresh. That's because they pour it in front of you... from a keg... on their back! Yeah, really.
Tired of bland snapshots? Let your inner geek run wild with a Google Image Search template. Just print it out, cut out the little windows and you're ready to go.
The person who thought this up--as far as we can tell--did a series in Stockholm, but our buddies at Geekadelphia turned us on to the idea with a similar template for their hometown. Download it and tweak it to fit your destination in just a couple minutes with Photoshop or another image editor.
Once you've got your geektastic photos, won't you drop 'em in the Jaunted Flickr Pool?
Photographer Jam Abelanet says he took all but one of the (possibly NSFW) photos for his title Fantaisies Souterraines (Underground Fantasies) while the Paris Metro was open for business--but never during rush hour. Most of them are un-retouched, but Abelanet admits a few have been tweaked. But why shoot in the subway?
I started taking photos of nudes in the studio, but I was frustrated by the decor. So I looked around Paris for some places that could be interesting. The Metro is so rich, it's interesting to work from that. At first, the work was a little makeshift, but by then there's no going back.
The subway authorities are worried that people will try to copy his shots, endangering themselves in the process. But we say long live subway photo shoots!
How refreshing that the skeleton of CBGB's old 313 Gallery performance-and-art space on the Bowery will sprout something other than a Starbucks. The space will hang on to the rock 'n' roll spirit when it is reborn as a second New York outpost of the Morrison Hotel Gallery.
The new space will lend itself well to visiting browsers, as it's over twice the size of Morrison Hotel's smaller SoHo gallery. The opening show, featuring works by Steve Joester, will debut this Thursday, March 27. After that, on April 24, will be Bob Gruen's "Rockers" exhibit.
So you take your camera out into the wilderness and decide to take your photographs only at night time. Sounds like a way to get a lot of really dark pictures, but clever photographer Darren Almond managed to create an entire exhibition out of his moonlight photography, and it opens on Friday at the White Cube gallery in London.
The exhibition's called "Moons of the Iapetus Ocean" and features pictures from all over Britain, plus three large-scale photographs from his new collection of work done in Tibet. A lot of the pictures end up looking pretty eerie, with waterfalls and rivers frozen in time by the long exposure. And with strange lights and glowing spots, we think there might be some UFOs in a couple of them.
The Almond exhibition runs until February 23, so don't delay in getting in to see what a real photographer can do in the dark. You'll never want to use your camera at night again, because you'll never know what you might find.
Oh, that zany Grand Canyon Skywalk. Gadling picked up a tourist's report that says cameras aren't allowed out onto the walk. We'd be inclined to agree, seeing as how you'll probably have to hock your camera to pay the $75 admission. (We even called up to confirm that, no, cameras aren't allowed.)
But then a Jaunted tipster (Thanks!) dropped some photos taken from the Skywalk in our inbox. Sure looks like some cameras got out there. If they won't let you out on the monstrosity with your digicam, check out more snaps after the jump.
