Simon Hoegsberg stood on a railroad bridge in Berlin for 20 days, photographing strangers. The result is a print 30 inches high, and 100 METERS wide. Stunning. (via photojojo)

We Are Sleeping Giants Enviably gorgeous photo series by Brooks Reynolds with music by Everlea. I think there’s a common thread that pulls at the heartstrings of everyone who has spent countless “summer nights” as a teenager wandering, dreaming, making out. Mine were spent riding shotgun in my best friend’s RX-7, with a little making out thrown in toward the end of high school. Regardless, I find these photos evocative and lush. (thanks BC)

boston.com’s The Big Picture continues to be my favorite feed of late. Amazing content and photography tell the tale so well. Add today’s photos of the fires burning across California with this article titled “Fire Season” in National Geographic Magazine this month and it’s a pretty complete (ahem) picture. Essentially it seems to boil down to the fact that decades of aggressive fire “management”—added to drought and disease—has created our own perfect storm conditions here in the west. Now toss millions of people into the mix… “In the 1990s, eight million new homes sprouted along the borders of parks and forests, where fires regularly start. The government spends exorbitantly attempting to defend property in these areas. Formally this is known as the wildland-urban interface. Some firefighters call it the stupid zone.” [emphasis mine] Don’t get me started on the stupid zone.

Ah pictures… some definitely are worth lots of words while others defy words altogether. I find the ones on The Boston Globe’s new photo weblog — The Big Picture — fall into the latter category. Simply captivating. (via kottke)
