Fabrice says:

After the 6.3 quake occurred in Canterbury NZ, people were involved to help their neighbors, to rebuild houses, to clean the street or to make donations. I wanted to contribute by doing something too, giving what I was able to, some of my time and skills.Giving support to my friends, to the men and women I met, who told me their stories. I liked somehow to show this support and admiration to all those people I don’t even know but who stand strong facing this drama with courage and humility.It’s also important to me not to forget the loss when the main thought is about to rebuild.

I might be a ridiculous rain drop in the ocean of help Christchurch got from every part of the country, but I definitely wanted to be a part of it.
This project has been submitted to the Christchurch City Council. The donation of prints didn’t find any reply yet – everybody can understand that they may have some bigger preoccupations right now – but I’d still like to give it some exposure.

From a LIFE gallery of Eva Braun’s private photos.

This 1937 photo of Braun was titled “Me as Al Jolson” and depicts her in blackface as the American actor and singer in his role in The Jazz Singer. Braun was a fan of American movies, including Gone with the Wind.

Mitch Davie makes a one-handed catch of a flying bat (while saving his beer in the process) from Atlanta Braves second baseman Dan Uggla during a spring-training baseball game against the Toronto Blue Jays.

Or he was attacking the crowd at random, depending how racist you are.

Laurence Fishburne responds to direction from photographer Howard Schatz as part of Vanity Fair’s “In Character, Starring …” photo shoot.  In this shot Laurence reacts to three scenarios:

Left: You’re a broke, struggling screenwriter emerging from a pitch lunch at a Beverly Hills restaurant, just in time to see a landscaper’s pickup back into your borrowed Lamborghini. Center: You’re a stoned, purely mercenary substitute teacher telling your third-graders, “Anyone who makes any noise while I’m resting will be sent home to Mommy in several little boxes.” Right: You’re a nerdy 11-year-old video gamer surrounded by BlizzCon posters and fellow nerds, and you’re taking this particular session of World of Warcraft waaay too seriously.

Or, if you prefer, Laurence Fishburne stumbles onto his daughter’s new movie during some alone time.

See the rest at Vanity Fair.

For those of you getting covered in snow right now, the Small Foot is a pair of inflatable snow shoes that fit in pouches that you can attach to your clothing.  This allows the wearer to walk on top of the snow when necessary without having to walk around on awkward traditional snow shoes once you’re out of the snow.

Or just stay the hell inside.

Made using Wordle. | Previously: The Arizona Speeches

A birthday gift received by Tyler Riewer:

It’s a suitcase – perfectly fitted for a bottle of bourbon and a set of brass knuckles. The outside says, “Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Sack up.” The inside offers, “The two roads to courage.”

“Apparently, we all need new friends.“

While it’s unlikely that PBS will grant this kid’s wish, it’s very likely that the Reddit community will be taking it upon itself to make something happen for this kid.

And they are.

UPDATE: PBS responds.

From Arbroath:

An image has emerged from Sri Lanka of a dead elephant calf stuck high in a tree after getting caught up in the country’s fast-flowing floods. The animal was found near the Galoya river, which rose 18ft (5.5m) above its normal height. Local villagers alerted photographer Kanchana Kumara Ariyadasa, who took the picture.

Haunting Coyote Roadkill Silhouette

From Boing Boing:

Dylan Menges snapped this haunting silhouette left behind when he moved the still-warm corpse of a roadkilled coyote: “She hadn’t been there long (still warm), and moving her carcass off the road revealed the salty silhouette from passing cars on a winter highway.”
