Sailing Around the World

I've always been fascinated with sailboats. I love how they are magnificently grandiose, yet with a crew that works in unison, they move with grace and purpose across an unpredictable sea. As there are sailing competitions year-round, here are some photos from the past year, courtesy of the Boston Globe.

Beautiful Photo Shoot of Actress Olivia Wilde in Flaunt Magazine

I absolutely love this photo shoot of Olivia Wilde in Flaunt Magazine. You may have seen Olivia in the FOX drama House or you if you like slasher films, you'll recognize her as Bea in Turistas. An Irish-American actress, Olivia hasn't been branded a sex bomb like Angelina or Alba but we're sure she's right behind Scientology submission.…

It is no secret that I have an unabashed crush on Chinese fashion photographer Chen Man (陳曼).

Celebrated as the best fashion/beauty photographer from the "born in the 80's" generation, Chen Man (陳曼) made a significant impact when she photographed covers for the Chinese fashion magazine Vision from 2003 to 2007.

The women boldly captured by her lens are colorful and sensual, courageous and playful. Her aptitude in Photoshop and lighting is what sets her… Continue

Stunning Models of San Francisco Made of Jell-O - Liz Hickock: SF (10 photos)

Alamo Square

How cool is this? Artist Liz Hickock must have been a big Bill Cosby fan back in the day because she uses a whole lot of jigglin' Jell-O to create stunning models of historical landmarks of San Francisco.

Brad Pitt in W Magazine (Feb. 2009)

Any which way you look at it, Brad Pitt's face featured prominently in this month's W magazine, in all its silent, black and white sheen, is a bit creepy and a little too close too for comfort. The style is reminiscent of caveman busts at the Natural History Museum. So I made these.

Angelina's recent… Continue

Displaced Animals - Mikel Uribetxeberria: Madrid, Spain (6 photos)

I like this animal photo set by Mikel Uribetxeberria of Madrid. It's almost seems as though the animals have a strong sense that they are displaced and trying to sort things out in their own minds. I especially like the gorilla who looks extremely comfortable but seems to be deep in thought.…

For the Love of Photography: JPG Magazine

I wish I'd known about JPG Magazine sooner. The online photography magazine, whose content consists solely of submissions from readers - is close to joining the fallen in the Publishing dead pool.

The e-magazine and its parent company 8020 Media was founded on a seed investment from Cnet founder Halsey Minor. Although the publication failed because of a doomed, antiquated business model (based on selling print ads, ughyee) and a clunky format (downloadable PDFs,… Continue
