But first, looks like the stoic Storm Troopers from Balakov are now being challenged by the flamboyant dolls from Picklepud!
Now the stories!
First up - a fantastic photo montage of an F18 crashing and burning at the Alberta International Airshow from sloppyshooter. The pilot being able to safely eject out of the plane transformed what could have been an extremely tragic story into one that is every pyromaniac's $50 million fireworks fantasy!
More photos from the media about the crash are here.
Next up - a story as endearing as the imagery of Forrest Gump running down the road, and tons of people following the messiah - each deriving their own personal meaning. This time around, Forrest Gump is Hobo Matt, he has a camera (a Motorola Droid, none the less), and the millions following his story are doing it via his blog (please do pop open another window and look at the blog - you dont know what you are missing!). Hobo Matt is walking his way across the USA, from Rockaway Beach, NY to Rockaway Beach, OR. He is more than half way across - posting from Great Falls, MT for this past week. The photos capture all those moments where you saw something incredible, zipping past at 70 mph, just wishing that you could head back and stop for a bit. As Matt puts it - "Moving through the world at three miles an hour, you can fully take in your surroundings".
Although not in this week's Top 20, the photo that totally moves me is Willy's family. Meager earthly possessions, but smiles and hearts so big that all the world's possessions look small and petty.
Until next time - Keep on clicking!!
