Wherein stuff! is tumbled. A tumblelog by Karl Gunnarsson.
Oh, and I also edit a photography blog here on Tumblr called 1/125. Go check it out.
If you're looking for ultimate enlightenment you'd be doing yourself a grave disservice by asking me about stuff.
‘Endurance’ in the ice, by Frank Hurley (1915)
Oh my effing god, The National Maritime Museum have just updated their Flickr with new images from my ultimate hero Sir Ernest Shackleton’s Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition (1914-1917).
This is Endurance caught in the ice before she was crushed.
Oh, and if you don’t know the story, you should. You really bloody should. You need to know about the man about whom it was said by Raymond Priestley, a British Antarctic explorer who accompanied Shackleton on various Antarctic expeditions:
“For scientific leadership, give me Scott; for swift and efficient travel, Amundsen; but when you are in a hopeless situation, when there seems to be no way out, get on your knees and pray for Shackleton.”
HERO.
ARB for HERO and insane adventures!
ARB for Frank Hurley. I think I meant to do a post about his World War I photography over at 1/125 but never did more than a couple of lines worth of draft on it. Should look that thing up and see if I can finish it, too. But, don’t wait along for me, go look the dude up yourself.
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: Windows 7 personified! It says “Windows 7. Microsofts’s fastest operating system ever.” in Norwegian on the hood. Of the antique sports car. Which was fast maybe, I don’t know, fifty years ago? (Don’t shoot me. I know nothing about cars.)
I just saw this in a driveway and I’m really curious what it is, but the internet has been of no help.
That looks like some modern evolution of the Lotus Seven which, at least in its better modern forms, is still a fast and capable road and track car. Especially when price is taken into the equation and personal comforts not.
Also, seeing that abomination of a sticker on the, admittedly evolved but still classic, brainchild of the great Colin Chapman is making me sick to the stomach.

This looks like the backside of Terry Richardson, which makes me a lot happier about everybody in the photo having pants on.
