mental_floss Blog » Technological (Geek) Cakes
Geek cakes seem to fall into four main categories: 1. cakes that resemble computers, game consoles, and other gadgets, 2. cakes that illustrate one’s geeky obsession, 3. cakes that are made by strange technological methods, and 4. cakes that incorporate technology into the finished product. There are more cakes made to resemble game consoles, computers, and iPods at YesButNoButYes . This gallery is a little heavy on Apple, but that’s OK, I like apple cakes. Other categories of geek cakes, after the jump. 2. Cakes that reflect a geek’s favorite pastime include this Star Wars cake recently featured on Boing Boing .The folks over at CollabCubed spotted these great custom lights by Christian DuCharme installed at the Lafayette Espresso Bar and Market in New York.

Before you say it, I know that architectural photography is a mainstay of the photography community. But, there’s no harm in taking another look, broadening your definitions, and looking for new inspiration in decidedly fertile ground. Below I’m hoping you’ll find something, or several things, that will pique your interest and cause you to venture out into the world of architecture with your camera. The physical achievements of mankind are unashamedly numerous and unimaginably diverse, I believe our fascination with photographing them is well warranted. In presenting an array of interesting takes on architectural photography, there has been a conscious effort made to cover a whole spectrum of ideas and specific subjects. From abstract architectural textures, to vanishing point shots and cityscapes.

Visitors to Beyond the Infinity amble though a series of enclosed rooms, each lined with mirrors and illuminated by an assortment of brightly coloured lights.

India Picture – Travel Wallpaper – National Geographic Photo of the Day
By photographing the shadow of the child running with balloons rather than the actual child, the photographer captured an image that immediately stops us in our tracks. Though the shadow is flat, it has so much movement and life. What is most surprising is how vibrant the colors are, and this is because the background is white/off-white.Uganda Picture – Africa Photo – National Geographic Photo of the Day
A successful image is often one that makes viewers think. The mystery of why these six children are peering into the cracks of this "pub" in Uganda is what makes this photo amusing, delightful, and curious. The use of the wide-angle lens indicates that the photographer is physically close, but the children are so absorbed that they don’t notice.India Picture – Travel Wallpaper – National Geographic Photo of the Day
This simple image is all about symmetry and, I would bet, persistence. I doubt the photographer just happened to be standing in the desert when these five women walked by. To get this kind of photograph, you need to spend time with people and follow along with them. In this shot, each woman is stepping forward, and this creates a lovely harmony of movement. Also, each sari is billowing out in the same direction, and the women are evenly separated, which adds to the sense of harmony.Photograph by Michael Nichols, National Geographic Photo of the Day debuted on April 21, 2001, with this photograph of a Pygmy family setting out for a fishing trip in a flooded forest in the Congo.

What makes this shot work is the dramatic burst of blue spurting into the crowd. No matter how frenetic and energy-filled the scene is, there still needs to be a moment among the frenzy. The blue hand also gives us one sharp point of focus in a sea of turbaned heads. Importantly, the vibrant blue contrasts so well with the yellows and the reds, making the whole scene alive with vitality.
