Looking to jump into a particular genre of professional photography? Instead of shelling out money and time for lessons, workshops, and/or internships, check out the handbook, “How to be a Photographer in Four Lessons.” Written by Brussels-based photographer Thomas Vanden Driessche, it offers the basic gist of how you can instantly become great in contemporary photography, war photography, conceptual photography, and more!

Buddhist Statue Taken by Nazis has Extraterrestrial Origins
The fascinating history of a priceless Buddhist statue could be the plot of a Hollywood blockbuster; it spans millennia and brings together Nazis, Buddhism, and meteorites. The statue, thought to feature the god Vaisravana, first received notice in the 1930s, when it was brought back to Germany by a Nazi-funded expedition sent to Tibetto find the origins of the Aryan race. In a surprising new turn of events, researchers have now identified the extraterrestrial origins of the 1,000-year-old artifact. It appears to have been carved from a piece of the Chinga meteorite, which crashed on Earth about 15,000 years ago
The Flâneur
Derived from the French verb flâner, meaning "to stroll," a flâneur is one who walks without a destination. Refined by French poet Charles Baudelaire, the idea of the flâneur as a person who travels a city on foot in order to experience it has been embraced by thinkers in fields such as photography and urban planning. Disengaged yet aware, the flâneur wanders without any purpose except to observe without interacting.

Black Friday (1869)
In 1869, American financial speculators Jay Gould and James Fisk attempted to corner the gold market by trying to prevent the sale of government gold, which they hoped to achieve by influencing President Ulysses Grant. The plan backfired when Grant discovered the plot and released $4 million of government gold for sale. On a day that came to be known as Black Friday, the price of gold plummeted, panic ensued, and thousands were ruined—though not Gould or Fisk.
The Godfather of Brazilian Soul
By David Haglund
" Tim Maia would have turned 70 this Friday. The musician was a superstar in his native Brazil, but he never made it big in the U.S.—despite beginning his career here, arriving in Tarrytown, N.Y., illegally at age 17. He got deported back to Brazil after a marijuana arrest in Florida and hit it big back home a few years later. But not here.
Now David Byrne’s record label Luaka Bop is introducing him to American audiences withNobody Can Live Forever: The Existential Soul of Tim Maia. The collection includes recordings from throughout the 1970s, including songs he wrote for a spiritualist group called Energia Racional, which believed that humans would eventually be saved by aliens in flying saucers who would return us to our real home. For a year Maia dressed in robes and only performed for his fellow believers..."
kinda sounds like a Brazilian Sun Ra.

Not to be confused with Noble Rot...it's the Ig Noble Prizes !
SpeechJammer Earns Ig Nobel Prize
If you have ever had the desire to silence a blowhard, you need the SpeechJammer, a device that disrupts a person's speech by playing it back with a slight delay, confusing the speaker just enough to stop talking. Its inventors were among those honored this year with Ig Nobel Prizes—a parody of the Nobel Prizes—for achievements that "first make people laugh and then make them think." Other awardees include levitating a frog, psychologists who found that leaning to the left makes the Eiffel Tower seem smaller, physicists who devised an equation that predicts the shape of a ponytail, and a Russian company that converted old ammunition into diamonds
Noble Rot: A hybrid of beer and wine
The first addition is unfermented juice, known as must, from viognier grapes that have been infected with a benevolent fungus called botrytis. This noble rot reduces the water content in the grapes while magnifying their sweetness and complexity. The second is pinot gris must intensified by a process called dropping fruit, where large clusters of grapes are clipped to amplify the quality of those left behind.
