Primer

This isn't the first time that I've posted some sort of Doctor Who -related imagery, and I certainly don't promise that it'll be the last! For those who are wondering what this series is really all about, BobCanada has put together a bit of a 'primer' for your enjoyment.

Featuring his own drawings of all eleven Doctors, along with extra little bits of trivia and such scattered throughout, this is an excellent piece of work. Be sure to check out the rest of his Flickr stream as well; there is a lot of great stuff in there.

Who

These are brilliant! And really, not just this piece, but the artist has a whole collection of incredible, simplistic takes on popular movies as either Penguin Book cover art or character representation.

On top of all that, I love his Flickr name: "Under the Name". I don't quite know why, but it's awesome. I think it maybe reminds me of a Bingo hall caller? ("Under the Name, "Eric" - an "E").

Any how, Doctor Who is fantastic – both the new and old series; yes, including the 11th doctor even who has quite grown on me – so I just had to select this piece as the one to share here. Enjoy!

Carnival

These are some really impressive images from a photographer named *brynne. She (and a friend) went through the abandoned Six Flags park in New Orleans last year, four years after Hurricane Katrina passed through the region. 80% of the park was demolished; only one ride was considered salvageable.

I was impressed to see that she has a number of other sets like this -- abandoned buildings -- as well, until I read her profile, which says, in part:

If I controlled the world, it would be cloudy every day at 67 degrees and I would be allowed in every abandoned building on the planet. I'm an aspiring stormchaser, urban explorer and future horror fiction novelist. I love to read, learn about new things and I am very well known as a trance music fanatic.

The post-processing on the images is quite good; be sure to check-out the silhouetted images of the park at the end of this set as well.  [Found via daringfireball.net]

Scott

Author Bryan Lee O'Malley took a bunch of "behind the scenes" photos during the filming of the movie Scott Pilgrim vs. the World (which is, obviously, based on his series of graphic novels).

This image shows director Edgar Wright, apparently, moments after he ever-so-briefly sat in his director's chair. The one (and only) time he ever did. Edgar also did his own 'photo a day' thing while filming the movie; it's also worth checking out.

The movie, SPvtW, opens today. It's getting great reviews, especially from the gamer/comic fans.

Park

I would love to get outside and experiment with this sort of long exposure (e.g., no flash) photography. There is a misty, 'summer evening' feeling to this shot that wouldn't have been possible otherwise.

Kittens

This is really just a test of Flickr's "Post to Blog" feature. And, since I needed an image, "kittens" seemed like the perfect search term to test with. Who doesn't love kittens?
