CRAZY Photographer - Do not miss this


This is a case of a photographer photographing another photographer.

The following pictures were taken by Hans van de Vorst from the Netherlands at the Grand Canyon, Arizona.

The identity of the photographer in the photos is unknown.




I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock in the Grand Canyon.  The canyon's depth is 900 meters ( 3,000 ' ) here..
The rock on the right is affixed to the edge of the canyon and perfectly safe.

Watching this guy in his rubber thong sandals, burdened with a camera and a tripod, I asked myself 3 questions:

1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not take  that sunset picture from that rock on the right, which is perfectly safe?
3. How will he get back?

After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things and prepared himself for the jump.  This took about 2 minutes.  At that point he definitely had the full attention of the crowd.




This is the point of no return.  After that, he jumped in his thong sandals & only having one hand free.  The canyon's depth is 900 meters ( 3,000 feet ) here.




You can see that the adjacent rock is quite a bit higher than where he is & quite steep..
He hopes to use his one free hand to grab on to the rock.  Look carefully at the photographer.  He is carrying a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag all on his shoulder or in his left hand.  He lands low on his flip flops both his right hand and right foot slip away...

And at that moment I take this shot:




He pushes his body tight against the rock waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on top of the rock, then climbs up & walks away.

Jennifer Lawrence's Makeup-Free Look Was a Big Mistake

ll right. I'm gonna be brutally honest, here. After seeing Jennifer Lawrence's barely there makeup at the premiere of The Great Gatsby -- I really think choosing to go so light on the eyeliner and eye shadow this time around was a bad idea. Yes, I know she's young and fresh-faced and has a natural vibe going on and doesn't need a whole lot of makeup to look good. But in this case, especially given the formality of the event, she probably should've gone a bit heavier on the cosmetics. And I'll tell you why. Jen is gorgeous, but she also has a baby-faced appearance, so when she doesn't play up her eyes, she looks much younger than she actually is. Granted, for 30- and 40-somethings, this is generally a good thing. But in her case, at 22, she actually looks more like 15 when she chooses to go the minimal makeup (or makeup-free) route. She looks so much less sophisticated -- like she really didn't put any sort of effort in at all. Here's a photo of the...

With Love from Tehran – Mandana Karimi

The part Turkish, part Iranian, part Indian Mandana Karimi will be soon be seen in the Vikram Bhatt-directed Bhaag Johnny. The tall, brown-eyed Karimi talks to us about poetry, watches and food. When we heard you were from Iran, we instantly thought of Ferdowsi. We think his Shahnameh was as excellent piece of work as ever to come out of Iran. Are you into poetry as well? I love Ferdowsi, but there are others that you should read. People like Ahmad Shamlou and Sadi. And Hafiz, too. Hafiz… he was good, eh? Can you recite a couplet or two from one of his poems? You have to read them in Farsi, but wait, let me try to translate a couple of lines from one of his poems. This is from Drunk on the Wine of the Beloved, a collection of some 100 poems by Hafiz: Come and set my boat free on sail in the winerivers! Come and burn the guru and the youth inheavenly fires! Oh wine-bearer! In wine, let my boat sail away As, “in water set free your goodness”, they say. In mistake, I turned away from...
