Life imitates toy models 10/11/2008
![]() Keith Loutit a Sydney, Australia-based photographer created a few very interesting tilt-shifted time-lapse short films. These short film clips give the viewer the impression that these are scenes of small models...very interesting and fun to view. " You can see more of his films on the Keith Loutit Vimeo page. Dave Allen is another creative person who used the tilt-shift lens filter in Photoshop to create a time-lapse video of three days at the Cranford Rose Garden at Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

![]() Giving new meaning to the word Typeface, Jeremy Mayer brings new life back to old typewriters using the parts to build interesting human and animal sculptures. In my opinion definitely worth a look. BTW: I often see old typewriters sell for a buck or 2 at auction...inspired anyone? Child labor Awareness Video 05/03/2008

![]() Well, I know I am. This dangerous walk is located in El Caminito del Rey, Malaga, Spain. Built in 1901, construction of the walkway lasted four years. In 1921, King Alfonso XIII had to cross the walkway for the inauguration of the dam Conde del Guadalhorce, and it became known by its present name. Unfortunately, as you'll see, it hasn't been maintained for many years. Bioscleave House - An Unsettled House 04/06/2008
![]() A house designed to challenge the inhabitants to be healthy in mind and body. For Arakawa, 71, an artist who designed Bioscleave House with his wife, Madeline Gins, the structure, floor and environment are not meant to be comfortable but more of a daily test of balance.

![]() How stuff works is a fairly comprehensive site explaining how myriad things work using illustrations and clear text. It also has a powerful search engine to help you find answers to those little things that keep you up at night...like the sleeping patterns of whales & dolphins...and how campaign finances work. Hope you find in helpful, it placed 51st on Britian's Telegraph "The 101 most useful websites" where you are bound to find other great resources. ![]() There are several online photo editors available, however, FotoFlexer appears to be the most full-featured to date. Try it before logging in, I think you will find it is easy-to-use with many of the expected features you might expect; but I was pleasantly surprised by the "Geek" tab for advanced options in addition to allow saving multiple layers. For the novice users it has an "Add a face" option which I'm sure we can use to brighten someone's day, happy photo editing. Historic Tale Tapestries 03/04/2008
![]() This Historic Tale Construction Kit has been around for a couple of years. I often use it to support one of my school projects for Page & Cover Design. Click Start and you can drag & drop images and use the text tool to create words (only one font available), unfortunately to save the images you need to use the print screen function with Photoshop for editing. I don't think this site supports multiple frames, email to a friend, or the gallery function any longer, still it is a clever way to create tapestry-like images if you have the patience to use print screen & Photoshop. |
