Wim Wenders Wim Wenders. Instant Stories at C|O Berlin presents a selection from the late 1960s to the early 1980s, when Polaroids were a visual notebook, a field of experimentation, and a photographic road movie. The resulting collection of pictures includes thousands of unique, personal shots of his film sets and travels through Europe, the United States, and many other places around the globe. They show Wenders in his personal surroundings and portraits of celebrities and friends including Annie Leibovitz, Robby Müller, Dennis Hopper, and Peter Handke. The exhibition will be making its first and only stop in Germany at C|O Berlin. Abandoned This place was top secret in USSR. It was based under ground as Moscow subway stations and long undergrounds were leading down from the entrance. Even now Armahema, the author of the photos, refuses to tell the details of this place.

Haunting image of boy in an Aleppo ambulance captures plight of children caught in Syrian war Once again, the haunting image of a little boy has become an emblem of Syria’s wartime suffering. But amid a worldwide outpouring of grief and outrage at the sight of Omran Daqneesh — a small, silent, solitary figure, seated bloodied and dazed in the back of an ambulance in his ravaged hometown of Aleppo — the fighting ground steadily onward, spurring even a polished veteran diplomat to rail in despair over stalled humanitarian efforts. The video of Omran, taken just after he was plucked from the rubble of his family home in Aleppo’s Qaterji district in the aftermath of an apparent airstrike, ricocheted across social media and news sites Thursday after being posted online by activists the night before. Sooty and dust-covered, the little boy doesn’t cry; not even a whimper escapes him.

Magnum photographers recall 9/11 images "I really didn't want to relive that whole thing," McCurry says. "I couldn't look at it. It was too painful." A Remarkable Photo of a Protestor in Baton Rouge, Louisiana It is a remarkable picture. A single woman stands in the roadway, feet firmly planted. She poses no obvious threat. Dickey Chapelle Home to me is a small apartment in a row of old buildings that face across Manhattan's First Avenue in the direction of the East River. My view of the water, though, is blocked by Bellevue Hospital, a symbol which some people call depressing but which I find is a reminder of compassion and challenge, too. After I came back from Lebanon and sat down in the green chair behind the broad wooden table that faces the noisy typewriter, I forgot for the first time in my life to ask if I was a reporter. I was too busy telling what I had to report. Not till thousands of words had ground through the typewriter did I begin to understand the pattern of the history I'd been covering, though. I wanted to go on thinking of the typed sheets of paper falling one after another out of the machine as just the output of a story teller, simply the product by which I made my living.

Camera for the blind captures images in braille Ho-lee crap. Now I’ve seen it all (no pun intended). This camera, called the Touch Sight, was developed by Chueh Lee of Samsung China. The basic short and sweet is that you hold the camera against your forehead and when you snap a photo, the camera grabs the image and converts it to braille. So you can actually feel the image against your forehead. 21 Abandoned Airplane Graveyards of the World (Image: Theo van Vliet; airplane graveyards: defunct Fulcrum at Zhukovsky Airfield) There might be no stranger feeling on Earth than walking among the corroding aviation relics of an abandoned airplane graveyard. Witnessing the once-proud hulks of mighty fighter planes, bombers, helicopters and commercial airliners turning to rust is a sobering sight, reminding us of how quickly technology moves on, and the pace at which cutting edge machines are rendered obsolete. Yet there’s no denying the melancholy power these places have. Here are 21 of the world’s most-fascinating aircraft graveyards, boneyards and junkyards, some still extant, others cleared, where decades of aviation history and heritage quietly awaits its fate.

Watch a Slow-Mo Lego Porsche Crash From Every Angle About a year ago, Lego released a scale replica Porsche 911 GT3 RS. It's a remarkable set, with almost 3,000 pieces and a fully functional steering and transmission system. It's basically just a miniature version of the real car. So naturally, it had to be subjected to a crash test.

The remains of Ferdinand Marcos concrete giant bust, Mt Pugo, La Union province, Philippines The bust of the late Philippine strongman Ferdinand Marcos lies badly defaced Monday, Dec. 30, 2002 at Mt.
