Underground Lair Photo: Lady in red on the campus of Ewha Womans University (이화여자대학교). I believe something got lost in the translation or you can attribute it to the lack of plural words in the Korean language however, don't blame me. I didn't misspell "Womans." Now back to the image: I couldn't decide between the faux infrared or color post-processed image. I'm leaning towards the faux infrared. Et tu, Brute?

Master Showman Photo: A "magic" show performed on a field for a captive audience. From what I can gather (my Nepali is a bit rusty), the man under cloth appears to be dead. The magician revives the deceased by removing various bloody organs... when, and only when, donations have been collected from the crowd.
