Vertigo

This is some of the most dizzying and downright scary footage I’ve ever seen of the famed walk at El Camino Del Rey, (The King’s Path) Spain. It was originally built in 1901, but has fallen into disrepair. It is 3 feet wide and an over 2,000 foot fall. Yikes. [...]

Grupo Fantasma

I saw these guys a month or so ago here in Portland, and here they are rocking at SXSW. If you have a chance, go see them.

Along the lines of the sushi roller made from used bike spokes, this bottle opener puts a used bike chain to good use. The Oregon-based company Resource Revival collects 3,000 pounds of used bike chains from 150 different stores every month. On their website you can even find frames, sprocket clocks and tea light holders. [...]

Andy has been making huge wave in the photography world recently by photographing all manner of refuse that wash up on the world’s beaches. His book ‘Dominant Wave Theory’ is the result of spending the last decade photographing [...]
