Getting all artsy

A couple of quick links to some awesome pictures I've seen recently. I would post the pictures, but their resolution is so high that it's best to go their pages.

The first one is from the inauguration. When you first go to the page you'll get the zoomed out version. The cool part is that you can zoom WAY in. Double click to zoom in and then give it a second bring in the high res version. You can also pan around by clicking and dragging. There is another version of this image that is annotated with the names of many of the famous people sitting on the Inaugural Platform.

The second picture was shot over the course of 20 days from the same spot at a train station in Berlin. It has 178 people in it and very few even realize they are being photographed. It's just people going about their daily business, which is something that I usually am moving (or thinking) too fast to see. You can pan through the image by moving your mouse along the smaller image at the bottom.

The last thing I'll post is a cool music video that Ray sent me. The band is called Bat for Lashes and the song is "What's a girl to do?" The lyrics are rather depressing but the melody is good and video is well worth at least one watch for its creative.
