Concurs De Castells
Apr 25, 2013From the 2012 Concurs de Castells, a human tower-building competition in Tarragona, Spain, watch this video by photographer David Oliete.
A long tradition in the region, castells began at the end of the 18th century. The sport has rules, techniques, and team responsibilities to guard safety and success. The pinya or base is made of a few hundred people that can catch anyone who falls, and the tower itself has a variety of different formations. The top three levels are the pom de dalt, made up of children in helmets.

Papa Cloudy
Feb 12, 2013Papa Cloudy is a series of stop motion web videos by Akiko McQuerrey who calls herself a “DIY children’s book author who’s focusing on making the world cuter.” After his first view of Papa Cloudy my 5 year old quietly picked up a piece of paper drew a picture of Papa Cloudy with a big heart over it.
