Every day in March, artist Hong Yi, aka Red, is posting a photo a day on Instagram to promote her daily food art creations that are set on a white plate background.

Don't you just love it when advertising is as clever yet effective as this? Red Cross worked with agency ONIRIA/TBWA in Paraguay to create these meaningful ads. What do our donations go towards? How about a roof or a helping hand? Great use of illustrations mixed with photography. Ace.

Today's Pic of the Day is by Samuel Bradley, a photography student from Farnham, UK. Doesn't this dapper man look like a modern-day version of Little Red Riding Hood's hero?

Our eyes pick up color when light reflects off specific objects. Milan-based collective Carnovsky uses this phenomenon to manipulate what we see in this incredible installation, titled "RGB."



RGB’s technique consists in the overlapping of three different images, each one in a primary color. Through the colored filters (a light or a transparent material), we can… Continue

On this wretched day, Little Red Riding Hood should have just stayed inside grandma's house. Even though she seemed to be getting along with the wolf in the photo, below, it looks like it was all set up by the furry beast. By the looks of the black and white shots, the wolf premeditated the whole ordeal...



These photos by Israeli Shlomi Nissim are… Continue

Earlier this year, Melbourne based agency ENESS received a phone call from Red Bull. The world's leading energy drink company asked them this one simple but very complicated question. “How would you like create your extreme projections for some of the best riders in the world?”



Three years ago, ENESS first turned their projectors onto snow at a snowfield in Australia. They described it as "carving the slopes by day and lighting the ice by night, transforming… Continue

Just who would be a better judge of sports and adventure photography than Red Bull? More than just the world's most popular energy drink, Red Bull has aggressively marketed itself so that the brand name is synonymous with extreme sports and daring stunts. In fact, who doesn't remember skydiver Paul Steiner showing us what a… Continue

I think this qualifies as the craziest stunt we'll see today...



Skydiver Paul Steiner climbs out of a glider's cockpit, crawls along the wing and then somersaults underneath while stepping onto the wing of a second glider flying below. Steiner then moves back onto the main fuselage of the second glider while the first glider turns upside down and flies… Continue

Back in the day people would often think of skateboarders as a bunch of hooligans and criminals. Anyone who has ever ridden on four urethane wheels and wood knows the truth, skateboarders have big hearts. That's why it does not surprise me that Canadian company Control Manufacturing has made these awesome skateboards with all proceeds going to the Canadian Red Cross in their efforts to help… Continue

I like these oil on canvas paintings by Ling Jian of China. Each of his subjects seem to have a mysterious aura about them. After studying painting at the Central Academy of Fine Arts in Beijing, Ling Jian moved to Germany where he now lives and works.



"The women, depicted in a… Continue

The Red Bull Air Race, started in 2003, is a series of air races, held all over the world, where pilots fly specialized aerobatic planes (with top speeds of over 250 mph / 400 kph) through a series of gates, racing the clock, accumulating points toward the championship title. Pilots must also perform specific maneuvers while passing through the gates. The photos below are from the most recent two races, in Budapest, Hungary, and Porto, Portugal. The final race in the series is scheduled for…

This is probably one of the most resouceful and unusual stories I've ever come across. In July of 2005, Kyle MacDonald started out in his quest to trade a giant red paper clip into a house. Sounds crazy? It absolutely is. But he was successful in doing it by trading for bigger and better items each time on Craigslist. How many trades did it take? Only 14 trades and he is now living in a three bedroom house in Canada. The scary thing is that it… Continue
