What a strange vintage we are. Constantly needing to photograph each thing, each moment. What other species demands to self archive everything? The same information, experiences, places visually captured over and over again. What do we expect to learn from it; from taking a picture of it all? No Coining - All Rights Reserved

Ueno Station

How do you celebrate the 130th anniversary of a Japanese train station? By creating a life-sized model of a Giant Squid that Japanese scientists captured video of back in January of this year. 
The awesome thing about this model being hung in the station is that it shows you how huge this animal truely is. Being a nerd for this kind of thing, I stood looking at this model imagining that it was alive and able to swim through the air. With single swipe of its barb filled tentacle it could catch a human and swim off at breath taking speed. 

We may be the foremost predator on land when we have a gun in hand. However an animal like this reminds you what a true killing machine really is.
