Russian police seize Putin, Medvedev painting: Picture the scene: a quiet moment between Russian president Vladimir Putin and his prime minister, Dmitry Medvedev. A momentary intersection between two lives made busy–so busy–by the hard work of government. Medvedev has just put his bra back on. He is disheveled. Putin grabs a comb and runs it lazily through his deputy's hair. Medvedev's eyes firmly engage the viewer, but Putin looks oddly to one side. What is he looking at? Perhaps his eye falls upon the Romanov Tercentenary Egg on his desk, adorned with portrait miniatures of the dynasty. They seem to gaze back at him, no longer lost within Fabergé's gilded relic. Putin once saw their deaths in his mind's eye, over and over, that invigorating minute in Yekaterinburg. Now he hears only their voices, the whispers that wake him. Though both men creep toward the threshold of the golden afternoon, the evening is yet young.

monarcaReina





del cuerpo la caligrafía de estos años densos que cansan tanto 
las experiencias que catan con gusto cada poro sudado 
el momento intenso la agonía el arrebato el disloque extremo del cuerpo monarca en su elasticidad reina su reflejo en otros con la sabiduría 
de saberse muerto en su espejo cóncavo de dispersas alas rotas

1. Suren Manvelyan, Armenia: Eye of a 16-year-old boy in Yerevan. In this highly magnified view of his iris’s surface architecture, the central black pool is the pupil, and his lashes are reflected by the cornea. His eyelids appear as pink rims at top and bottom.

2. Kacper Kowalsk, Poland: Shadows lengthen near sunset in spring fields near Nowe. The photographer paraglided over Pomerania to get this abstract shot: a brushstroke of red poppy weeds flowering amid green grain sprouts.

3. Caleb Charland, USA: Wedges of an orange generate enough current and electrical juice—3.5 volts—to power an LED. The fruit’s citric acid helps electrons flow from galvanized nails to copper wire in this 14-hour exposure.

Hồ Chí Minh y su HermesBaby, traqueteando las dos patas del modelo vietnamita: taca-tacatá ... It was patriotism, not communism, that inspired me.... voilá... mmm, and this one, for the aftermath cleanup: "It is not the American people who are bombing us, it is the American Imperialists. We MUST learn to LOVE the Americans becauseTHEY WILL RETURN after the war."
