CD Hole Art. →
CD Hole Art.Creativity has no bounds & cant be limited to canvas. This again is proved to be true by this art on CD that creatively uses the hole located on the middle of a CD to bring out the point. It cant be known how pretty these CDs can look once you have some drawing on it, till one sees it. There are many more cool examples that can be seen at IamBoredr. Other Posts: Dog Food Art. ...

30 More Excellent Blog Designs →
It’s not hard to design a weblog, but it’s getting harder when you try to achieve a unique weblog design. It doesn’t matter what weblog-engine you are using — frequently used themes tend to become boring over time, and they also don’t necessarily reflect the unique identity of the blogger.
To create an original design you need fresh ideas and creative design solutions. However, you don’t need to...
Shoot Projects on the Cheap with your Peeps →
Belgian photographer Bert Stephani posted a video last week that hits on a lot of cylinders for me. Taken at face value, it is a cool series of hard-lit shots of a gas-masked runner. But before you watch the video (after the jump) take a moment to notice all of the things that Bert and his buds are accomplishing with this group shoot. A Little Stone Soup First off, Bert is making a cool series...

Opaque Leopard menubar solved →
Filed under: Hacks, Mods, Leopard
The famed annoyance of the translucent Leopard menubar has finally been solved. Steve Miner has posted a tip that involves changing an environment variable by editing a plist to make Leopard think it’s running on an older Mac that doesn’t support the translucency. Once done, it will make your menubar solid white. The guys at Many Tricks (of Butler...

You know what I love about working with Brigitte Lacombe (here) besides dropping her impressive (lovely sounding too) name in meetings.
CLOSED SET.
That’s right. No one is allowed in the room with Brigitte and the subject. No client hovering, no hair person attending to errant hairs, no makup person blotting the brow, no stylist fussing the collar, no caterer tapping emails on the blackberry, no...

The Nikon D3 from ISO 200 to 25600 →
Nikon has taken a grassroots approach to marketing their upcoming D3 digital SLR, putting it in the hands of professional photographers far and wide in the months leading up to its expected late-November release. We’ve gathered files from three such photographers - Tony Bock, Nick Didlick and David Einsel - as well as photographer/author Peter Burian. From ISO 200 to 25600, here are...

In praise of the Leopard mosaic photo screensaver →
Filed under: Leopard
It was important enough to make the ‘Sparta’ list, but I hadn’t checked out the new mosaic mode for photo screensavers in Leopard until today — and now I’m wondering where this has been all my life. An infinite outward zoom, creating a Photomosaic-like image that you half-squint to recognize, until… whoomp! It resolves into a picture of...

Can you see an airplane over the head of Brad Pitt ‘Achilles’ of Troy fame? In this martial arts movie, someone forgot to pick the hand held radio lying near the feet of the actors.

How To Choose A Logo Designer →
A well-designed logo is probably one of the most important issues when it comes to design of corporate identity. The logo has to be describable, memorable, scalable and effective without color.
To fulfill these criterias is a quite hard task to accomplish which is why you need a professional logo designer to save your time and achieve best results up front. However, the choice of really good...

More on Style →
When I think about a writer with individual style, Hunter S. Thompson comes to mind. That’s why I was floored when I read this:
He didn’t finish high school, but he taught himself to write. He retyped books by writers he admired - Steinbeck, Hemingway, Faulkner - all the heavyweights. He said he wanted to get inside the rhythm of their language and find his own style. (source)
Easy.

Hello, New Coney Island (Again)! →
Another over-the-top Coney Island development proposal is in the works. Mayor Bloomberg unveiled a plan today to build the nation’s biggest urban amusement park there, including 4,500 residential units (20 percent are set-asides for low- and middle-income housing) and some retail establishments. The proposal basically spells doom for Thor Equities’ $1.5 million Vegas-style...

I know many night photographers who seem to be obsessed with structures that may not be around much longer. They’re always on the hunt for buildings that are scheduled to be removed. Sometimes a building may not be scheduled for removal, but all outward signs indicate that it won’t be around much longer. Other times, we’re totally surprised to learn that a building is now gone,...

I’ve never met anyone as loyal as Martin Schoeller (here). To the subject, his team of people, the client, his agent, his style, his goals, the print… everything. It’s more than just being a nice guy and delivering consistently good work there’s honesty and integrity, and a devotion to the craft, and an incredible work ethic that adds up to, well, loyalty.
There was a point in his career where he...
