Dutch artist Paula Arntzen is an incredibly skilled paper artist. Only after countless hours of studying and observing the special characteristics of paper was she able to create these contemporary light sculptures. All of these were entirely handcrafted before being screen-printed with fluorescent ink. The results are stunning!

I was delighted to be asked by Nikon to come flying over London with a group of journalists from the UK’s best photography magazines to test out the new D3S. We took off Battersea heliport and made a couple of flights around London, the D3S has incredibly low noise at high iso and is perfect for this kind of work.
I love Lily Allen, she maybe the perfect model, as she’s mad enough to go along with the vision of the photographer and create some stunning images.
Simple but beautiful idea…

The Macallan Ice Ball “Machine”. Did you know it runs on GRAVITY? Yes, high tech stuff… also the magical frictional heating of copper also comes in to play somehow just perfectly at room temperature. Really you stick a roughly right sized chunk of ice in between the two heavy pieces, and let gravity go to work on it. And with in moments ~ right before your eyes ~ it melts down to a perfectly glossy sphere. It’s magical really.
Don’t get too excited though, it’s reported to cost around $1000 a piece

In light of NBC’s blunderous maneuvers, its decision to push back The Tonight Show , and Conan O’Brien’s public statement on the matter, Conan fans are using social media avatars to get their point across.
In fact, one man’s I’m With COCO image is speaking for Facebook denizens everywhere. Mike Mitchell created an image, along with an accompanying website and Facebook Page, that celebrates Conan and his widely discussed hair. Now Facebookers are showing their support for the late-night funny man by changing their pictures to the COCO image.
