Here's Lady Gaga shot by Terry Richardson for Vogue Hommes Japan. This old Lady Gaga joke was prescient. PETA comments in 3...2...
Photo by Terry Richardson.
Lionel Cironneau photographed this airplane flying in front of a rainbow in Nice, France. OH MY GOD! OH MY GOD! OH. MY. GOD! What does this mean??? It's so bright and vivid.
Boing Boing asks if this photo of "surfing pioneer Tommy Walker catching a wave at Main Beach on the Gold Coast in Queensland, Australia" in 1909 is the first photo ever of an Australian surfing.
Terry Richardson's photo of Zach Galifianakis nonchalantly wearing a beard suit for a GQ photo shoot. What a wild and crazy guy.
Jake Lodwick's neat peephole photograph of hilarious and talented Reggie Watts.

National Geographic explains:
St. Maarten—Landing at Princess Juliana International Airport, a looming 747 thrills those on Mahó beach. The white-sand stretch on the Caribbean island's Dutch side—the rest is French—is a famous plane-watching perch.
Have any of you been to this beach?
Great capture by New York photographer Christoph Morlinghaus.
A rule prohibiting photographs in the Senate chambers was suspended to allow for this modest first official group picture on September 24, 1963. I'm disappointed they didn't go with the laser backdrop.
The photo-session, for the National Geographic Society’s illustrated book on Congress, We the People, was scheduled before the historic vote on the Nuclear Test Ban Treaty. Ninety-eight members took their seats at 10:15 a.m. Photographer George Mobley set up three giant reflectors containing 21 large flashbulbs. Following each of six exposures, the burned-out bulbs had to be replaced for the next shot. During one exposure, a bulb exploded and showered glass onto spectating Representative Fred Schwengel, founder of Capitol Historical Society which sponsored We the People.
Compare this with the toothy mugging that takes place today as soon as any camera is raised.
Cool photo of a winning and quite dapper curling team is from the University of Washington Libraries Digital Collection at The Commons on Flickr.
