James and Karla Murray show off photos from new project

November 16, 2009 @ 11:08 pm

James and Karla Murray unveiled this neat panorama of 66th Street station along the 1 Line in an upcoming project with Prestel Publishing and the MTA. From this image alone, it looks like I’ll be very much into the project and the book (assuming that there is a book lined up). I can’t wait to see more photos!

Drunk woman nearly gets run over by Boston train

November 10, 2009 @ 5:59 pm

This drunk woman should be counting her blessings today because she was nearly run over by a Boston train during an incident where she fell into the tracks (presumably from being too drunk). If it were not for the people who waved the train down, she could be dead.

I love how she gets up and is still too drunk to stand up straight. -_-

Wow, I believe this is the first time I’ve ever seen a cake fashioned to look like a New York City MTA Subway car (an F train, too!). It’s not perfect, but it is kind of neat I think, so kudos to Dahlia’s Cakes for putting this together.

Woman’s baby slips into train tracks, survives with minor injuries

October 16, 2009 @ 8:48 pm

This is the craziest thing I’ve seen all day. On Thursday morning in Melbourne, Australia, a woman’s stroller carrying her 6-month-old baby slipped directly into the path of an oncoming train. The stroller and the baby were both pushed about 40 meters down the track and miraculously the baby only suffered a small bump to the head. Watch the surveillance footage from the train stop above.

The Chemical Brothers – Star Guitar

August 22, 2009 @ 7:10 pm

I think this is my new favorite music video. It’s directed by Michel Gondry and it was made for the song “Star Guitar” by The Chemical Brothers. The video is made to look like it was continuously shot from the window of a speeding train but Gondry somehow made the objects outside the window sync up with the beats in the song which no doubt makes for an awesome visual trick.

I wish everything that passed before my eyes went along to a dance beat.

Thanks Clarence for showing me this weeks ago!

I want to go where MISHKA shot their Fall 2009 lookbook. Looks nice and desolate. Plus, there are train tracks which always mean good stuff nearby.
