I was on reuters this morning, reading about today's drop in gold value, when i got bored. i thought that reading about political views of all these presidential candidates would be more interesting, or at least confirm my belief that politicians are idiots. the latter was confirmed, but it certainly wasn't any more interesting than the stock market. so, on to photographs. i've seen the lizard man, i've seen divers swarmed by fish (i was a snorkeler swarmed by fish, once), i know what ants look like holding a leaf (i've seen the lion king), rats racing in china, man covered in 55 pounds worth of facial tumors...woah... that's new.
this is huang chuncai. he's already had 33 pounds of the tumors removed in this picture. they said he was due for a second surgery soon. there's other information about his life and the tumors if you just google his name. i just love this photograph. i can't stop looking in his eye and at his hand. mesmerizing.
