SEOUL — A South Korean taxi driver said to have extreme religious views has been found dead on a crucifix after an apparent attempt to emulate the death of Christ, police said Wednesday.
The body of the 58-year-old surnamed Kim was found on Sunday on a wooden cross in an abandoned quarry in the central city of Mungyeong, with nails on the cross protruding through holes in his hands and feet.
Local police said the man, wearing only underpants and a crown of thorns, had a stab wound to his right waist and several whip marks in an apparent reconstruction of Christ's death.
A mirror was placed in front of Kim so he could see himself on the crucifix, while other items such as a hammer, a hand drill and a knife were found nearby.
"We found at the scene pieces of paper describing how to construct a cross and carry out a crucifixion," a police office told AFP on condition of anonymity, adding it was unclear whether or not Kim wrote the memo himself.
A forensic examination was under way to determine the cause of his death. Police said Kim's hands were pierced by a drill and he may have died of excessive blood loss.
Kim was described by neighbours as fascinated by Christianity. Police were trying to establish whether he killed himself either alone or with the help of others around Easter time from April 22-24.
But they said they were not excluding the possibility of murder.
Yonhap news agency cited a former pastor as saying Kim had "fanatical religious views".

Fanatic of Christianity kills himself by crucifying for his sins? Dude even sets up a mirror so he can see himself suffer as he tries to appear as The Anointed One. Nuts.

Mason's imagery is pretty ill and funny. He grabs such random persons and throws them in the cool whip of his imagination.

What a way to mess with your prospection of everything. Surreal photography at it’s finest. I have been researching Philippe Ramette’s work for a while now and it makes you look at the world upside down. A world you see in a gorgeous, more amplified way of course.

RGB is a work about the exploration of the “surface’s deepness”.
RGB designs create surfaces that mutate and interact with different chromatic stimulus.
RGB’s technique consists in the overlapping of three different images, each one in a primary color. The resulting images from this three level’s superimposition are unexpected and disorienting. The colors mix up, the lines and shapes entwine becoming oneiric and not completely clear. Through a colored filter (a light or a transparent material) it is possible to see clearly the layers in which the image is composed. The filter’s colors are red, green and blue, each one of them serves to reveal one of the three layers.

I came across this awesome blog. It's old random photos of people from a long time ago. Pictures I'm sure the picture owners are not so proud of. Maybe I'm wrong and these are just damn sexy people. You decide. LOL
