“L.A. Light” Time-Lapse

“Shooting time lapses is a labor of love and a study in patience.” So says photographer Colin Rich who spent over six months to shoot Los Angeles at night.

Rich uses a variety of equipment and shooting angles to capture the different scenes of L.A. He pairs his time-lapse video, LA Light, with an equally beautiful song “To Build a Home” by The Cinematic Orchestra.

We Review: L.A. Noire

The world was a completely different place back in the late 1940s, and many things we take for granted did not exist: today’s gender and race equality ideals had not been born yet, and neither had the Internet. Man had yet to step on the moon, and the world was just freshly scarred from a global war. Rockstar Games’ L.A. Noire pulls us back through time to that era to find out what life was like with the LAPD. Did they do a good job? And is the game any good? Hit the jump to find out.

Kiwi Girls at the Bottom of Ass-Cam Sting

Two girls from the country of New Zealand decided to run an experiment where they attached a tiny camera to their rear-ends and took a walk though the sunny streets of Los Angeles. The centre of silly studies (not real name) claims the results as obvious – both sexes had a good ogle at the swaying derrieres, and even Jesus (from West Hollywood) stole a quick glance. The girls, Reanin Johannink and Jessie Gurunathan, posted their video on YouTube and it has racked up over five million hits since it debuted a week ago. Check out Rear View Girls – Los Angeles below.
