(Gustave Le Gray, Mediterranean with Mount Agde, photo, 1857)

"O my brothers, when I enjoined you to break up the good, and the law-tablets of the good, then only did I embark man on his high seas. And now only comes to him the great terror, the great outlook, the great sickness, the great nausea, the great seasickness." (Friedrich Nietzsche)

Japanese are among the toughest climbers on the planet. They can pursue summit knowing that after the climb their fingers will be cut off. They are samurai of our time. In 1990 Akira Kurosawa screened a very real 18-minute movie "The Blizzard" about these guys. It describes a 3-day climb in the toughest conditions on the mountain. There are three parts from youtube:

Annapurna (8091 m) - fearsome and adorable [Dec. 13th, 2008|12:43 am]
My livejournal friend (http://dima-chatrov.livejournal.com/) has recently posted these lovely pictures of Annapurna IV (7525 m) within Annapurna massif:

   




(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Annapurna)

2 out of 5 very experienced climbers die in an attempt to reach its main peak Annapurna I at 8091 m. This is the highest death rate for the mountains.

Laila Peak (6200-6600 m) [Dec. 10th, 2008|02:20 am]



"According to the local people in Hushe, the Laila peak has been climbed only twice, a total of only seven people have summited". en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Laila_Peak_(Hushe_Valley)

Just to remind myself of climbing it one day.

Очень понравилась реклама Banana Republic - все никак не забывается. Пожалуй, у маркетологов Banana Republic стоит еще поучиться.

There is ongoing situation. About what? We don't know. [Sep. 2nd, 2008|03:45 am]

[music |there is ongoing situation... about what?.. we don't know.]







Вспомнилась московская выставка Бьёрна Мельхуса. Помню, очень понравилась его видеоинсталяция. Как песня до сих пор звучит в сознании ) Великолепная проза, сливки американского СМИ.

"There is an ongoing situation, about what we don't know. We are in close contact with State and local authorities and are acting in their direction... It's a speculation at this point. We will release additional information but we are not sure what is happening... We don't know... It's not confirmed, it's a possibility, but we have been told... We don't know. More, two minutes away... It is incredible to watch it in life unfolding before the eyes. We have been told that there is ongoing situation... It's not confirmed, it's a possibility, we are not sure it is true enough. We don't know... We were told that... We don't know... There is ongoing situation... As a precaution only, get away from the scene and ask everyone to keep those folks in our prayers and hope for the resolution... We do not see everything what we are supposed to see but we've got the best view of the scene right now... Inside terrorists' attacks... To possess extasy with the intent to distribute... Inside terrorists' attacks... Snicking guns and marijuana onto a Delta airlines' plane... Inside terrorists' attacks... "

К нам поступает дополнительная информация, молитесь за этих ребят, держитесь от места событий подальше и смотрите вживую - http://www.openspace.ru/art/projects/85/details/200/ (рекомендую просмотреть 3-х минутное видео).

Философия ночных клубов [Aug. 31st, 2008|05:36 am]
[Tags|]

Что же есть такого привлекательного в ночных клубах, помимо девушек, конечно. Правильно. Музыка! Речь идет об "electro house".

Сегодня в клубе заметил, что у американских dj'ев получается лучше наших создавать ощущение драматизма в своих произведениях. Они, по-моему, пишут музыку и ремиксы сами. У нас, как правило, копируют у каких-то известных dj'ев.

Уикэнд за городом [Jul. 12th, 2006|02:13 pm]
Серебряный Бор - идея неплохая, но это в границах Москвы. Не интересней ли поехать за город (например, к Волге за 100-150 км. от Москвы). По времени это займет 2 - 2,5 часа. И зачем терять субботу - после скалодрома можно сразу отправиться в путь:)
