quote [From 1953 to 1963, poet Allen Ginsberg snapped thousands of candid photos of his friends, documenting the personal, intimate, and spirited lives of the writers and artists who created the major works of Beat culture. His images of Jack Kerouac (above), William S. Burroughs, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Peter Orlovsky, and others are now on display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington DC. The exhibition, titled "Beat Memories: The Photographs of Allen Ginsberg", runs until September 16].

"Unscathed Corpse" is a collection of curious, weird, sexiest, funny, crazy and interesting sites.
You can call it "subliminal porn". Sometimes it's fetish, sometimes it's glamour but everything is art. Art and parody. Underground culture with humor...
