Bir Fikri Öldürmenin Sekiz Yolu (ve Fazlası)

İllüstratör Scott Campbell’ın kendine özgü çizgileriyle yarattığı Bir Fikri Öldürmenin Sekiz Yolu serisi yaratıcı düşünce ve yeni fikirlerin baltalanması üzerine güncel ve popüler referanslar içeren son derece başarılı bir infografik çalışma. Devamında ise bu eğlenceli grafikler Portekizli bağımsız film grubu Show Off’un tanıtım kampanyasında da kullanılmış. Şahsi favorilerim Amy Winehouse veBeatles / Yoko Ono hakkındakiler. 

Nat. Geo. Int. Photo Contest 2009

National Geographic’s International Photography Contest attracts thousands of entries from photographers of all skill levels around the world every year. While this year’s entry deadline has passed, there is still time to view and vote for your favorites in the Viewer’s Choice competition. National Geographic was kind enough to let me choose a few of their entries from 2009 for display here on The Big Picture. Collected below are 25 images from the three categories of People, Places and Nature. Captions were written by the individual photographers. (25 photos total)
Nazroo, a mahout (elephant driver), poses for a portrait while taking his elephant, Rajan, out for a swim in front of Radha Nagar Beach in Havelock, Andaman Islands. Rajan is one of the few elephants in Havelock that can swim, so when he is not dragging timber in the forest he is used as a tourist attraction. The relationship between the mahout and his elephant usually lasts for their entire lives, creating an extremely strong tie between the animal and the human being. (Photo and caption by Cesare Naldi)
2On the final leg of a six-week United States of America road trip, I was driving east across Interstate 40 when a spot storm with golf ball-sized hail struck. A sign near Groom, Texas, announcing the “largest cross in the western hemisphere” explained the large crucifix I’d been wondering about for miles on the highway; it seemed like an OK place to wait out the storm. On my way to getting stuck in the mud and a giant double rainbow, I saw this silhouetted view of the cross, splitting the sunny sky from the stormy plains. (Photo and caption by Brad Maule) #

6I was in the front car of the short subway between Pudong and the Bund, and was treated to the wonderful spectacle of an oncoming train in the tunnel’s changing light show. I put my camera up to the window and shot as fast as possible to get this image. (Photo and caption by Gail von Bergen Ryan) #
7A stone’s-eye-view of two tracks made by the sailing stones of Death Valley’s Racetrack playa. The dried clay surface has a beautiful texture, and there is a palpable aura of mystery over the entire three-square-mile playa. The Racetrack was not entirely free of human influence though: several weeks before this taken many of the stones were stolen, leaving long trails without a traveler at the end.

8On my second day visiting the astounding Iguazu falls on the Brazilian side I was forced to change to my telephoto lens as my wide angle had been damaged by the water vapour. In had rained solid for 10 days prior to my arrival and so the falls were at their most spectacular. Standing on the elevated viewing platform I was able to shoot this school group who stood transfixed, emphasizing the incredible size of the falls. (Photo and caption by Ian Kelsall) #
9I took this picture on a sunny fall afternoon on a prairie near Chicago, Illinois. To improve the color saturation, I blocked the sunlight with my body. The blue background came straight from the camera. The image was not altered with any editor. (Photo and caption by Richard Susanto) #
10My grandfather was born and raised on our New Zealand farm. He and my grandmother were married nearly 60 years. Preparing for a photo in the barley, my grandmother lovingly reached up to adjust his hat. This was his last harvest. (Photo and caption by Gemma Collier) #
11During a rainy, cloudy morning at the Wild Goose scenic overlook on St. Mary Lake in Glacier National Park, Montana, the sun peeped from under the cloud cover long enough to paint a golden-yellow swath across the face of the mountain for maybe 15 minutes before disappearing again.

13This is about one hour of firefly activity near my home in rural Ontario. The precision of the background star trails is an interesting contrast to the chaotic pattern of the firefly flashes. (Photo and caption by Steve Irvine) #
14The edge of an iceberg floating just off the cost of Antarctica. (Photo and caption by Mike Matas) #
15While visiting Kruger National Park with my son, we came across two male hippos battling for dominance as we crossed a bridge over the Sabie River. The bellowing from the animals as they fought their bloody battle was incredible. They first fought in the shallows near the bank and then moved into the deeper part of the river. We don’t know how it turned out but we were so glad to see the spectacle. (Photo and caption by Steve Mandel) #
16Andrew and his friend, a young sperm whale named Scar, were swimming together off the west coast of Dominica. The two of them became “friends” after Andrew saved Scar’s life. (Photo and caption by Peter Allinson) #
17The Darvaza natural gas crater is located in the center of the Karakum Desert in the central Asian country of Turkmenistan. The crater resulted after a Soviet natural gas exploration accident in the 1950s and has been burning ever since. The crater is approximately 60 meters in diameter and its depth is approximately 20 meters. (Photo and caption by Natalja Silver) #
18When the wave conditions are right a wave appears, infrequently, as a result of the splash back off the cliff connecting with an incoming wave. This causes the incoming wave to pop up, creating fan-like shapes. On this particular day, over the two hours I spent on the rocks, this wave only appeared once. This is that shot.

20Even during the Arirang Mass Games in North Korea, the ultimate expression of the state ideology, an individual can still sometimes stand out from the crowd and break free of the collective. If only just for a moment. (Photo and caption by Brendyn Zachary) #

22This bee was unfortunate enough to land in my pool, but he made some amazing patterns buzzing around in the water. He later escaped. (Photo and caption by Michael Johnson) #

24This is one view of many dunes found in Jordan. Two steps forward and one step back made for a challenging ascent. (Photo and caption by Andrew Cwiklewich) #

finally! someone thought of it..

Sweet potatoes, you are cleared for landing

The flight into Gaping Baby Maw doesn’t get any easier, even for experienced pilots. As any of the regulars on that route will tell you, the problem is trying to land while the runway is moving. It’s a small plane, but they aren’t designed to maneuver like that! Sometimes, Gaping Baby Maw doesn’t live up to its name and you’re suddenly crash landing a load of pureed vegetation into Round Chin or one of the twin Squeezable Cheeks. That’s embarrassing. Good thing you were never licensed to fly, or the FAA would be revoking your license. As it stands, you’re cleaning up one nasty crash after another and looking forward to the day you can hand the plane down to your geekling and let them do their own feeding flights.

The Illuminated JetBib from ThinkGeek Labs will revolutionize the lives of pilots trying to make that ever-elusive landing. Let’s talk about the upgrades to your plane first. After all, that’s what you’ll be flying several times a day in an attempt to deliver nutrition to its destination. Gone are the days of the boring silver plane. Enter the Jetliner OmNomNom with its sleek yellow and blue body, ready to transport your delicious deliveries from the land of Gerber. Flashing red lights on the tips of your wings will ensure that the control tower at Gaping Baby Maw sees you coming (although they’re not known for compliance there, so don’t get your hopes up!). As the ground beneath the Maw shakes, rattles and rolls, the lights on runway 42 illuminate, bright as day, guiding you in for a safe landing. So fly on, brave Parental Pilot, and let the red LEDs of runway 42 guide your way.

Big Boi Terry!

Terry Richardson is one of my (if not “the”) favourite photographer who’s still alive. His mother - a stylist and dancer - brought him into the fashion scene, he grew up very poor. When he still was very young he had played in a punkband with the name “Doggy Style”, when on tour he started photographing. You can imagine that this is a very different artist from what you know so prepare that you find some nudity, when your at work.

Please visit his wonderful website: http://www.terryrichardson.com/

Terry Richardson is an international celebrity as well as one of the most prolific and compelling photographers of his generation. Known for his uncanny ability to cut to the raw essence of whomever appears before his lens, Mr. Richardson’s vision is at once humorous, tragic, often beautiful, and always provocative.
