  • Some months ago, 34-year-old telecom worker Kevin Blandford of Louisville, Kentucky, won a free vacation to Puerto Rico from his job. His daughter was too young to make the trip at the time, so she and his wife stayed home. Blandford decided to document the entire trip with a series of sad-faced portraits showing that he wasn’t having a single second of fun without his family. Those photos went viral after he shared them online, racking upmillions of views.
    They were so popular, in fact, that the hotel in Puerto Rico and an ad agency noticed and decided to pay for a second identical trip for Blandford’s entire family. Blandford took the opportunity to recreate each one of his original sad photos as a happy family portrait.

    The photos show Blandford revisiting each of the original tourist spots and the Wyndham Rio Mar where he stayed.

    These before-and-after photos may be an even bigger hit than the original set. They’ve already been viewed over 1.6 million times in just the past 3 days.

    P.S. In case you’re wondering, Blandford was able to take a friend on the first trip who served as his dedicated photographer for the series.

    Time-Lapse Shows Rescued Puppy Growing Into Adulthood on a Treadmill (Via petapixel.com)

    Published on May 7, 2015 by Michael Zhang

    When filmmaker Dave Meinert rescued a sick four-week old Great Dane puppy named Pegasus from an careless breeder, he wasn’t expecting her to live very long. After all, it had a pigment deficiency defect that leads to deafness and blindness, and most of its siblings were either dead or deformed. Meinert decided he would care for Pegasus the best he could and document her life every day for as long as she lived.
    The short video above is a time-lapse showing Pegasus growing from a puppy into adulthood while doing her daily exercises on a treadmill with a camera mounted nearby. Many months into the project, Pegasus is still alive and well. “I still don’t know how long she is going to live, but right now is pretty great,” Meinert says.
