Camera Hack: Jason Bognacki a folding camera made in 1919 to the front of his Canon 5D MarkII.
What’s even more amazing is that the photos that the nearly 100 year old lens shot are absolutely beautiful.

Name: Sister Rosetta Tharpe
Dates: 1915-1973Why she rocks: She was a gospel singer, songwriter and recording artist who mixed spiritual lyrics and early rock and roll accompaniment. She would blur the line between sacred and secular music by performing spirituals in nightclubs with big bands. She became the first great recording star of gospel music in the late 30’s and became the “original soul sister” of recorded music.
Quote: “To be successful, the first thing you have to do is fall in love with your work”
Because of this woman… she brought soul and spirituality to the world of the blues.

When I was a small child my father told me that farting made humans run faster. So whenever I had to fart I would run as fast as I could. I never had many friends.
Of course I forgot all about this until I tried to suppress a fart at my fathers funeral.
The memory and the silliness combined with the horror of the moment overwhelmed me. I started crying, running, and farting. I sprinted circles around my family at the graveyard until I just started laughing. I finally tripped over a gravestone and flew into the air just as I let a big one rip… I never landed.
