As seen on streets of downtown Seattle… Jesus the Destroyer! Wow.

Aside from briefly losing his temper while kicking some money-changers out of a temple, I didn’t think Jesus was really the “destroy” type. I thought he said something like this:

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
The Book of Matthew

But maybe I’m just forgetting the very next verse, wherein Jesus laughs and says, “Ha ha, just kidding guys! Seriously, let’s go destroy some shit!” Then he and his disciples all start kicking over trash cans and playing mailbox baseball. Amen.

Spent today walking around my neighborhood parks instead of doing anything productive. It was time well spent. Much better than painting a wall or sorting through old paperwork.

Simon Hoegsberg’s “We’re All Gonna Die — 100 Meters of Existence” is a one of the most beautiful photographic pieces I’ve ever seen.

To create it, he stood on a railroad bridge in Berlin for 20 days, photographing 178 strangers walking through their day, unaware they were being photographed.

The resulting picture is 78cm (3′) tall by 100 meters (about 328′) wide.

We’re All Gonna Die – 100 meters of existence”

Just hover your mouse over the picture and watch fragments of life scroll by.
