About: Chintnudda Lamakanond or better known as Wondering Pango (แป้งโกะ) is another YouTube sensation from Thailand. Pango is one of the newest hit wonder with over 1.4 million views in YouTube. Watching Pango sings in her videos is simply mesmerizing!




Pango started uploading her videos in YouTube after appearing in Singular's Bao Bao MV and she self taught her guitar during that period. Little did she know that her videos had so many viewers from all over the world and a Facebook fan page created for her. Pango is now signed to Believe Records and will be releasing her new single, "Postcard" really soon.

Pango was a pampered girl when she was young and her mother worried that she would stay like this and be unable to support herself, so she sent Pango to high school in Wellington, New Zealand. Apart from singing, Pango is also into arts and photography; she graduated as a graphic designer from the King Mongkut's University of Technology Thonburi.

Photography Commons

Yuen-Fu Monastery, Formosa, 1870, John Thomson
One of the great joys of the past few years has been the movement by museums, libraries and archives to digitize and make accessible hundreds of thousands of photographs in their collections. It amazes me how little The Commons is discussed in the endless debates about the pros and cons of digitization. Never before have so many images by masters and

Nature's Path

I recently visited the Boerner Botanical Gardens in New Berlin, which is bordering my hometown of Milwaukee.

This is such a neat path through the gardens and I thought that turning it into black & white really added to the overall effect.

The Boerner Botanical Gardens are spectacular in my opinion! They contain a arboretum, an annual, perennial, rose, peony, rock and herb gardens, and a daylily path and bog walk. Not to forget the art and sculptures along the way!

The Birthday Massacre Announce Release Date for Imaginary Monsters

Canadian band The Birthday Massacre have become one of the most popular scene-related bands of the past decade with their energetic mix of eighties-electronica, aggressive guitar riffs and catchy, lyrical melodies, accompanied by mesmerizing visual concepts and an impressive stage presence.

The band’s new EP 'Imaginary Monsters', promises to be full of teenage angst, daily horrors and the proverbial monsters under your bed contained in three irresistible, new alt-pop-epics, delicately skipping the boundaries between gothic, metal and new wave.

Furthermore, five bands - SKOLD, Combichrist, Tweaker, Assemblage 23, and Kevvy Mental & Dave Ogilvie - have been invited to develop their own perspective on the group’s songs and deliver their own highly creative and club-compatible spins on classic tracks from The Birthday Massacre.

As a special bonus, the EP also contains a data track with a HD-resolution version of the elaborate video for 'In The Dark'.

'Imaginary Monsters' will be released on August 15th via Out Of Line Music. You can find out more about The Birthday Massacre on their website: www.thebirthdaymassacre.com

I recently visited the Mitchell Park Domes in Milwaukee. It was a opportunity to photograph some really unique flowers like the one pictured here. There are three domes: the desert dome filled with cacti and succulents, the tropical dome filled with a rich diversity of plants from the rainforests and the floral show dome, which changes with the season.

Luna Moth

Hello everyone,
Welcome to my newly created blog. Once I revamped my website, I also needed to revamp my blog!

My first post is a picture of a luna moth that just happened to be visiting my potted plants on my front porch. I think it was trying to seek refuge from all the heavy rains that we have had in the past week! Of course, I had to run and grab my camera to snap a couple of pics before it flew away.
