We were trying to find that “Please Stand By: Technical Difficulties” image from The Simpsons — you know, the one where the camera guy’s all drunk, and kicks the cable out unintentionally? But couldn’t find one that wasn’t all blurry so we’ll have to go with the traditional color bars above. While not actually undergoing […]

After much ado, and many beautiful photographs (at least 18,000 entries), the winners of the 2014 National Geographic Photography contest have been chosen. With the actual winning photograph being a supercell storm photo out of Colorado, “The Independence Day” (featured below), we have selected some of the winning bunch for your perusal, with some personal favorites […]

The collected photos of the era have since toured the country in exhibits, ultimately settling down into the 104-page book […]

The Splash House Music Festival is back for the second time this summer, because the best time you had this season needs a redux. If you missed Palm Springs’ first splash-in-the-pool party back in June, grab your sunblock, speedo, stainless steel flask and whatever contraband you deem fit for a three-day desert pool party. Taking place next weekend, August […]
