Let's Get High

A few weeks ago, daredevils Vadim Makharov and Ritaliy Raskalov climbed the second largest building in the world. They planned their escapade to coincide with the Chinese new year, so that fewer people would be around and security would be lax. Sneaking into the building, which is still under construction, they climbed 120 stories on foot. At they top, they slept and waited for good weather. Then they clambered out to the very end of the crane that sits on the roof, looked down at the world below, and got ridiculously high on life.

Today we will show you how to climb on second tallest building in the world. Shanghai Tower, China.

Shoot All Skaters

Nice little piece that Brock Mitchell put together on skate photographer Tobin Yelland. Some of skating most iconic images were taken by Tobin and this short piece gives a bit of insight into the process and story behind some of that work.

This was shot and edited by Brock Mitchell. Check out his work at www.shotatthedark.com

The Art Of Taboo

Beautiful interpretation of human form, earth, and sexuality through the photography of Chinese provocateur Ren Hang. Found out about Ren through a great piece Vice Japan did on him. After checking his website for further reference I was thoroughly pleased with the playful maturity his work evoked. There's something very fresh about it. Great stuff!

中国は北京在住の27歳、写真家・任航（Ren Hang）。彼が繰り広げるヌードフォトには、常に中国当局の監視がつきまとう。写真展の検閲、撮影中の逮捕劇、ウェブサイトの強制閉鎖......。それでも彼がヌード写真を続けるのは、ひとえに彼の下を訪れるモデル志望の若者たちが絶えないことも挙げられるかもしれない。抑圧の中においても自己表現を求めて止まない中国の若者たちの姿、心境、そしてその証言を映像に収めるため、VICEは今回、中国は北京市にある任航の自宅を訪れた。そこに待ち受けていたのは、決して狭くはない室内を埋め尽くすフレッシュな北京女子たちの生き生きとした姿。かくして、任航による現実を超越した撮影が幕を開けた。もちろん任航が語ってくれた話も今後、貴重な証言となるだろう。中国国内におけるヌード表現はいかなる状況にあるのか？それでも任航が続ける理由とは――？透き通った眼差しの奥底に潜む、若き中国人の生き様に迫る。 ↓↓ この映像の記事はコチラ ↓↓ http://www.vice.com/jp/read/tat-ren-hang 27 year old Chinese photographer Ren Hang takes photographs that show an unseen raw and hedonistic side to Chinese youth. He is based in Beijing where the graphic nature of his photos mean he has had cameras confiscated by police, pictures spat on at exhibitions and banned from every gallery in the city by the censorship-heavy Chinese authorities.
