“Tribute In Light 2002-2007″ features a series of 360-degree panoramic representations of the annual “twin beams of light” memorial to the World Trade Center. Photographed from various points around the NYC area over five years, the images are extremely impressive and sublime: a fitting remembrance to September 11.

“Jook Leung is internationally recognized as an innovator in spherical panoramic photography. Jook’s experience spans 25 years as a commercial photographer with a background in photo-illustration and digital imaging.”

Additionally, one could find panoramic shots of worldwide places and events ranging from the Eiffel Tower to Trafalgar Square, to an Election in Syria to the Pan-American Games. It’s worth a visit.

I found these Christmas light displays on Photopumpkin and felt compelled to post them for your viewing delight. Unlike the “Dyker Lights,” Brooklyn

(from my own strange corner of the world), I don’t know where these shots were taken, but here they are for your viewing delight. My Thanks to PhotoPumpkin

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Posted in Crime by Greg Ross on November 5th, 2007

On Dec. 10, 1968, a uniformed man pulled over a bank car in Tokyo. He explained that police had received a warning that dynamite had been planted in the vehicle, which was transporting bonuses for local Toshiba employees. The four passengers got out and watched as the officer crawled underneath.

After a moment he rolled out, shouting that the car was about to explode. When the passengers ran, he got in and drove off.

Thus one man stole 294,307,500 yen in broad daylight, working alone and without harming anyone. It remains the largest single heist in Japanese history. The thief was never caught.

“In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.”

Douglas Adams (1952-2001)
