An attractive, curly-haired woman named Shoshana B. Roberts, clad in a black crewneck T-shirt and jeans, silently took to the streets of New York City with a hidden camera in order to capture what was being said to her as she walked around. During her 10 hours of walking, she documented “100+ instances of verbal street harassment… involving people of all backgrounds. This doesn’t include the countless winks, whistles, etc.” The silent walk was created by Rob Bliss for Hollaback!, a non-profit that seeks to end street harassment through education.

In August 2014, Rob Bliss of Rob Bliss Creative reached out to Hollaback! to partner on a PSA highlighting the impact of street harassment. He was inspired by his girlfriend—who gets street harassed all the time—and Shoshana B. Roberts volunteered to be the subject of his PSA. For 10 hours, Rob walked in front of Shoshana with a camera in his backpack, while Shoshana walked silently with two mics in her hands. Street harassment is a form of sexual harassment that takes place in public spaces. It exists on a spectrum including “catcalling” or verbal harassment, stalking, groping, public masturbation, and assault. … It’s important to keep in mind that is this video only captures verbal harassment, and Rob and Shoshana can attest to the harassment overall falling evenly along race and class lines. While filming, Shoshana noted, “I’m harassed when I smile and I’m harassed when I don’t. I’m harassed by white men, black men, latino men. Not a day goes by when I don’t experience this.”

Published today from Harper Design, Shake Puppies is the latest jowl-flapping canine photo book from Portland-based pet and wildlife photographer Carli Davidson. The dangerously adorable collection of images is a follow-up to her 2013 book Shake that similarly featured high-speed photos of adult dogs caught mid-shake as their ears, lips, fur and drool flies in every direction.

Davidson began photographing animals while on staff at the Oregon Zoo, a passion that eventually led to a career shooting portraits of exotic animals, pets with disabilities, and a plethora of cats and dogs. Shake Puppies is available now through Amazon.

Filmed last month by Nicolaus Wegner in Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, and Colorado, Stormscapes 2 is a gorgeous timelapse of severe weather events. Wegner deftly captured lightning strikes, rainbow formations, tornadic activity, and rolling thunderstorms in a way I’ve never seen before. Well worth a watch. (via Jason Sondhi)

Si digo que esto es un vídeo de dos tipos arrastrándose por la hierba no creo que muchos de vosotros lo veáis. Sin embargo, recomiendo fervientemente que lo hagáis porque además estaré diciendo la verdad, pero, como siempre, la verdad tiene matices.

En este caso, la gente de Corridor Digital ha decidido grabar una especie de persecución haciendo parkour sin los peligros que éste entraña.

El único punto negativo del resultado es que es demasiado corto. O sea, que es un punto positivo.
