flight patterns from Charlie McCarthy on Vimeo.
Charlie McCarthy took a bunch of long exposure photos of bugs flying under a street light and put the photos together in this video that shows just how crazy some of these bugs’ flight patterns are. [via]
Oakley x Beams Frogskins

Beams and Oakley have teamed up to present these limited edition Frogskins which I think would look fantastic with some tinted lenses. Too bad they’re about $205+ USD.

I could probably look at Andy Gilmore’s drawings and illustrations all day. [via]
He’s got some of the craziest eyes for color and patterns of anybody I’ve ever come across.
His Flickr account is a good place to get a look at most of his design work. I recommend starting with his grids and then moving on to his many designs.
Davis-Monthan Air Force Base and its stockpile of airplanes

BBG linked to a Google Maps image of the Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Arizona and I was immediately fascinated by how many airplanes and jets were collected in that field in the desert.
I went ahead and looked up the area in Google Earth instead and found a bit more information and detail about the place. Plus, Google Earth allows you the ability to backtrack through a timeline to compare dated maps with the current map, and it’s fun to see the number of airplanes go down and up over the years. If you’ve got the newest Google Earth installed, it’s worth checking out the area. It really does look like a massive pattern on the ground from the sky due to the sheer amount of planes on the ground.
The Davis-Monthan Air Force Base is also home to the 309th Aerospace Maintenance and Regeneration Group, and it has garnered the nickname “The Boneyard” for the out of service aircraft that collects on its base. If I ever get clearance to go in here, I’d have a field day taking pictures. Cool huh!
Deal of the Day!
