After losing someone she loved and falling into depression, Chang created this experiment on an abandoned house in her neighborhood to create an anonymous place to help restore perspective and share intimately with her neighbors. The project gained global attention and thanks to passionate people around the world, over 1000 Before I Die walls have now been created in over 70 countries, including Kazakhstan, Iraq, Haiti, China, Ukraine, Portugal, Japan, Denmark, Argentina, and South Africa. The walls are an honest mess of the longing, pain, joy, insecurity, gratitude, fear, and wonder you find in every community, and they reimagine public spaces that nurture honesty, vulnerability, trust and understanding. The Before I Die book is a celebration of these walls and the stories behind them. 2011, New Orleans, LA. Cordoba, Argentina. Najaf, Iraq. Brooklyn, NY.

Perfect Pandas » Blog Archive » Panda Bread Ok, so I’ve seen a lot of amazingly cute panda things, but this literally made me giddy when I saw it. I’ve never seen anything like it and I really want to try out the recipe. The original recipe is from an Asian website called Taro Taro (which features a photo gallery of user submitted panda bread!), luckily for those of us who can’t read the site, wlteef.blogspot.com was kind enough to post a translation. The recipe is after the cut! Panda Bread: Ingredients: 600g loaf (206 x 108 x100h) 230g bread flour 70g cake flour 30g sugar milk + 1 yolk = 210g (I used skim milk) 4.5g salt 18g unsalted butter (I used 20g) 4g yeast 8g green tea powder dissolved in 10g boiling hot water 8g cocoa powder dissolved in 8g boiling water Method: 1.

Conrad Maldives Rangali Island's unique underwater suite (NOT photoshop) Linda Vista Revisited: East LA’s Abandoned Hospital Last year, while scouting for a short film that never came to fruition, some friends and I talked our way inside an empty, run-down hospital in Boyle Heights. The short was supposed to take place in a hospital, but after a few minutes wandering the halls of Linda Vista — alone and decidedly creeped-out — it became obvious that there was no way the place would work. It had been closed for twenty years, and it showed: there was dirt caked in layers on walls and mysteriously wet floors; windows were broken and doors hung off their hinges; ceiling tiles had fallen victim to moisture and gravity, and rats had chewed through the walls. We didn’t have the money to make Linda Vista look like anything more than a horror movie — a few of which had actually been shot there over the years. I was only inside for 45 minutes or so, running through the place snapping photos on the fly with a crappy point-and-shoot. Click on photos to see larger sizes. Someone left a safety razor behind. Fancy a bath?

Greatest Optical Illusions Pictures. OK, this one really belongs in the Skytopia 3D stereoscopic gallery, but I just couldn't resist. If you can cross your eyes, so that both pictures slide 'into' each other - to form a third, 3D image between them, the effect you will see is truly stunning! Try focusing on something in between you and the monitor to help see the illusion. If you're still stuck and you really want to see the illusion, try this site to help practise seeing 3-D stereo. If you can't manage to see this cross eyed version below, then try the parallel version here. For this parallel version you look behind the monitor and just like the cross eyed version - try to get the two tubes to match up. Anything Worth Seeing / ANTILIMIT Between the Seconds With the click of a shutter sometimes we become privy to the strange world that occurs between the seconds.

Matthew Albanese's incredible landscape art made from household objects These stunning landscape images should belong in National Geographic magazine but they are actually models made using household items. Artist Matthew Albanese spends hours on his sculptures – whose materials include tile grouting, cinnamon and steel wool – and then brings them to life using clever photography. Some of his designs are less than 1m (3ft) long but the remarkable effect is gained by the angle of the camera. Mr Albanese, 26, began making his Blue Peter-style models two years ago and has already sold seven of his works for more than £600 each. He was bored of his job as a visual merchandiser and needed an outlet. ‘One day I knocked over a tub of paprika and as I was cleaning up the mess I began to daydream,’ he said. ‘I thought it was a great shade of red and reminded me of Mars, an exotic place I could only dream of seeing. ‘So I figured I would bring Mars to me.

But, luckily for us, it's through a picture—taken at the right angle—that a trompe l'oeil artwork truly comes to life. Below, check out photos that capture some of the most mesmerizing temporary street art.
