William Gedney and Soccer Balls

One of the great things about this wonderful series of tubes we know as teh intraweb, is of course having access to things that in all likelihood you would have probably never seen. When I stumbled upon the writings and photographs of William Gedney I was blown away to be quite honest.



The series on a rural Kentucky family in 1964 was particularly striking. Also check out the series on India and one about a bar called O'Rourkes somewhere in New York City.

This site (sorry evil flash format) depicts a series of of amateur soccer fields, and players, all over Europe set against some rather lovely backdrops. Now in Europe they would call them `Football Pitches' but that's just plain wrong :-) One of my favorites is this one from Warley, in England, it just looks so very English, for lack of a better description.



Now if those two sites do nothing for your cultural or creative mojo, then you might just like this you-tube video of that great American classic, Chicken Fried Bacon!
