Ralph Mirabal was sentenced earlier this month to 8 years in prison for tagging property in the Corpus Christi area in Texas. Mirabal actually faces up to 24 years in prison (8 years for 3 separate indictments) and has the possibility for parole after 2 years. [via]

I always tend to forget that the Library of Congress photo archives are a great source of inspiration. Here’s the Majestic Theater located in San Antonio, TX.

Check out David Zaitz’s photos of rural Texas. His photos evoke a sort of place I would actually like to visit and possibly move to. It’s full of weird and abandoned objects from a past that seems long gone. Plus, it’s mostly sunny. :P

Ellen DeGeneres had a very funny old lady named Gladys Hardy call in to her show to suggest some rearrangements on the set. Ellen apparently like the caller so much that she called Gladys back, and the resulting conversation on the phone is very funny. I really hope Gladys becomes a regular on the Ellen show because that lady is good. Real good.

Carnival Cruise Lines showed off to the entire world just how much fun they can have by shooting a commercial in Dallas, TX using 2 giant beach balls. The 3-story high beach balls were unleashed to a crowd below on the street at Pegasus Park on October 26, 2008.
John Heald, Carnival Cruise Lines’ Senior Cruise Director oversaw the Guinness World Record attempt. If you want to see some pretty amazing photos, go over to the Carnival Cruise Lines’ Fun Crowd website and read through their live blog of the event. Or head on over to Table4 Photography to see some more photos.

I can’t get over how wonderful this photo above is of an abandoned Prada store in Marfa, TX. It’s taken from the roadtrip that some Supertouch members took with Lance Armstrong through Texas. The roadtrip passed through a town in Texas called Marfa that seems to be an artist’s hidden paradise, with great galleries and public arts all over the place.
I was very curious as to why a big name like Prada would expand to a small town like Marfa, and my suspicions about it being an art installation were confirmed in this New York Times article from 2005. Apparently, the “abandoned” Prada store is a permanent art installation by Berlin artists Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset. If you want to see more photos of this place, head on over to Flickr where Prada Marfa photos are plenty.
The photos are wonderful and they certainly make me want to visit (they say also that the movie No Country For Old Men was shot there, which makes me want to visit the place even more).
