> >The Nyimi Mabiintsh III is fifty years old. He acquired the throne at the age of twenty. As a descendant of god the creator, the king is attributed with supernatural powers. Due to his top position he is restricted by several contraints: he does not have the right to sit on the ground, and he cannot cross a cultivated field. Apart from his cook, no one has seen him eat. Moreover he never travels without him, and his personal cooking ustensils. > > >It took Laine three weeks to photograph the Nyimi (king) of the Kuba in his royal apparel, the “bwantshy”. The outfit made out of material stitched with beads and “cauris” (small shells used as money in Africa), weighs 160 lb. It takes more than two hours to dress the King, and two days of spiritual preparation to be sufficiently purified in order to wear the outfit. The weight and the heat of the bwantshy is such, that it is impossible to wear it more than one hour. The preceeding King had only worn it three time during his entire life. > > https://twistedsifter.com/2012/07/kings-of-africa-portraits-by-daniel-laine/

Photos of the farm I grew up on through an infrared filter. I have not missed my camera, just used the filter & channel swapped RGB values to achieve the look.

As seen at the Silverball Retro Arcade in Asbury Park, NJ.

Berlin and Ione just next to it are two abandoned towns from the gold rush era. I went on this solo road trip about 4 years ago.

I got so lucky with the clouds that day. They're ridiculously picturesque.

Just woke up for my final hike

Daughter found a piece of obsidian, reluctantly stopped long enough to show it to me and grab a pic.

They grow up so fast.

I took tons of pictures looking out different directions from the top, but I liked this one the most. Worth the hike!

I walked to my alley today, and this little guy was growing out of my work out bench

That porta potty was at least 10 stories up.

There's a painting by Dali that also looks like a portrait of Lincoln from a distance

I will be heading into the park today and won't be online for a week. Glad to have found a new community and I hope it thrives unlike Reddit that is crashing and burning.

I look forward to making a lot more post in the future. Glad to be here.
