Hyper Drive is a new video by Japanese photographer, darwinfish105 which takes viewers aboard Tokyo’s Yurikamome train line at what is probably somewhere near hyper drive and light speed. He managed to do this by taking long exposure images which were then sequenced together and sped up. The result is pretty intense.

Martin Lehmann recently took a trip to Pusher Street, an outdoor weed market located in Copenhagen’s Christiania district. While photography and running (yes, running) is strictly prohibited in the area, the Danish photojournalist managed to capture what the local merchants are peddling. From the looks of it, there’s a wide array of assortments and more than enough variety to choose from.

Take a Look Inside Mike D’s Brooklyn Town House

While we usually leave photos of people’s homes to Home & Garden, we thought you’d enjoy a NYTimes report taking a look inside Beastie Boys drummer, Mike D’s newly renovated house located in Brooklyn. Together with his wife, filmmaker Tamra Davis, and their two kids, they left their TriBeCa loft a year and a half ago and moved into the 3200-square-foot house after a six-month renovation period which had a budget of $500,000. As someone who never lived outside of Manhattan, the move wasn’t easy at first says Mike Diamond but was worth it, as now their older son can walk home from school by himself, an experience he himself missed out on as a child. “It was traumatic,” he said. “A very different city.” As to how the couple describe their aesthetic in renovating and decorating: “I think it’s kind of vernacular, sensitive, modern.”
