The New Street Photographer's ManifestoFebruary 7, 2013/by $techgnoticStreet photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson called it the “decisive moment”— the captured instant when all the photograph’s elements come together to tell a story in a way a text narrative of thousands of words could never begin to.

Dante's Inferno, What's the Worst that Can Happen? Dante Alighieriby ~anakalivasOct 17, 2012 by $techgnoticSometimes in youth we play crazy mind games. One gruesome game was trying to think of the worst way to die. Or even better, the "which would you choose" version of the same conceit. Another was what would be the worst torture to endure. If there is one international touchstone that best captures youthful fears and wonders in speculation of what lies beyond the veil of death and awaits as possible punishment for our sins, it must be - to the few who have actually read it to the millions who "know" it – "Dante's Inferno." Who does not shiver at the thought of being lost somewhere in the "Nine

Possessional Demonology Dante Alighieriby *TLishmanOct 30, 2012 by $techgnoticOpening the Darkest DoorI have recently come across a most disturbing phenomenon in my studies of the Diabolic Infestation of the Soul.
