kenhongleungpaintings9In retrospect, I’m not really sure if this Escape Monday project is such a good idea. If ous knew that KLAP GYM BOET SlickTiger was posting this blerrie moffie stuffs, my badass internet rep might be destroyed irreparably.

A person is either a flippin’ KLAP GYM BOYCHAY or a cardigan-wearing, arty-farty paf. The line is drawn in the sand and you’re either on one side or the other.

While you contemplate that pearl of wisdom I’m just going to leave these images that Chinese-American painter Ken Hong Leung did as examples of the kind of stuff a klap gym ou would NEVER post.

So ja, if anyone needs me, I’ll be dumbell-pressing my body weight with other sweaty, grunty men.

Good times.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Looking at these images, I get the feeling they don’t do the real-life versions any justice at all.

Really wouldn’t mind having one of these hanging on my living room wall so you know, I could look at it while I did bicep curls…

Happy Monday Winking smile

Colourful_Faffing_PThe Escape Monday project continues this week with another two posts designed to transport your mind as far away from your cubicle (read: cell) as possible.

This post features a collection of photos taken by Ian Hobson who claims that not one of these pics have been digitally manipulated, he’s created all of them by waving different coloured lights in front of cameras set on long exposure.

At least, that’s how I think he does this. The results are nothing short of mesmerising and should, even if it’s just for a minute or two, take your mind completely off the fact that it’s Monday.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have no idea how the hell he manages to get this right with no digital manipulation whatsoever. If he is waving lights in front of the lens then howcome he isn’t in these pics?

My best guest is that he fixes the lights to strings and swings them around. Any photographers out there wanna weigh in on how he does this?
