By Rick Dewsbury Published: 09:53 GMT, 14 April 2012 | Updated: 12:56 GMT, 14 April 2012 They could be any other well-heeled members of society. Dressed in their finest suits and ties with their top hats cocked towards the camera, these men and women seem to be posing for expensive portraits. But behind their tidy appearances are guilty eyes that hide some of the most sinister crimes policeman of the day had dealt with. For these are mugshots of Australian convicts who were dealt with by police for chilling murders, robberies burglaries and other crimes in the 1920s and 1930s. Sidney Kelly stares remorselessly in his mugshot from June 25, 1924. The vintage police slides have been released by the New South Wales Police Department as part of an exhibition at The Sydney Justice & Police Museum.
They give a fascinating insight into the crimes that were being committed at the time and the characters of those who were accused.

(click images for detail) For the better part of three decades multidisciplinary artist Guy Laramee has worked as a stage writer, director, composer, a fabricator of musical instruments, a singer, sculptor, painter and writer. Among his sculptural works are two incredible series of carved book landscapes and structures entitled Biblios and The Great Wall, where the dense pages of old books are excavated to reveal serene mountains, plateaus, and ancient structures.
Of these works he says: So I carve landscapes out of books and I paint Romantic landscapes. Mountains of disused knowledge return to what they really are: mountains. Laramee’s next show will be in April of 2012 at the Galerie d’Art d’Outremont in Montreal. - StumbleUpon. These 50 Photos Will Blow you Away - StumbleUpon.

When one thinks of prisons and prison life, thoughts often drift to depictions found in Oz or the Wire: full of hard living and sexual, physical, and emotional abuse. However, there is one prison is Norway that has been called the most humane prison in the world: Halden Prison. Halden Prison opened early in 2010 with a capacity of 252 prisoners. The prisoner cells include flat-screen televisions, which officials say are necessary so that prisoners have less room for drugs and contraband.
Designer furniture, mini-fridges, and en suite bathrooms complete the prison cells. Looks like good Quattro Concept by Audi - StumbleUpon. Mental_floss Blog & 11 Pencil Vs.

PARIS - panorama | © gillesvidal - photographe - StumbleUpon. Image of the Day: Aquarium Phonebooth - Food - GOOD - StumbleUpon. Lighting designer Benoit Deseille and artist Benedetto Bufalino transformed this phone booth in Lyon, France, into an aquarium, as part of the city's annual Festival of Light.
In an accompanying statement, the artists explain the inspiration behind the piece: With the advent of the mobile telephone, telephone booths lie unused. We rediscover this glass cage transformed into an aquarium, full of exotically colored fish; an invitation to escape and travel. It's a creative way to transform disused infrastructure into an everyday source of wonder and beauty—or, if you're of a more pessimistic frame of mind, a vision of our climate-changed future. On top of that, there's something whimsically compelling about seeing tropical fish interacting with a phone: cross-species communication, anyone?
