As we are fond of pointing out, fact is usually much creepier than fiction. So around this time of year we like to share some of the most gut-wrenchingly disturbing stories, the kind we would tell around the campfire if we ever actually went outside.
And most importantly, they're all true. Something Off About That Picture The Legend: A young man is dropping off groceries at the house of an eccentric old lady when he notices an old photo that makes the hair on his arms stand on end. "Oh," she replies, trying to stuff a cat in the dishwasher "isn't that beautiful? The Truth: While most folks today are too squeamish to take more than a glance into the casket during a funeral, in the late 19th through early 20th centuries someone dying meant it was time to break out the camera for a family photo. And, while it all sounds like the set-up for some terrifying practical joke on the photographer, there was actually a somewhat reasonable explanation for the practice.

Breaking Bad Habits in Photoshop | Web Design Blog: Web Design & I've been a regular Photoshop user for almost a decade, which makes me feel old. But Photoshop 1.0 came out in 1990 which means some of you were learning to think in Layers while I was listening to NKOTB and wearing slap bracelets. After ten years of Photoshop use you'd think I'd be a pro. And yeah, I'm decent. But I've got some lousy techniques deeply ingrained in my psyche. Not organizing layers and folders from the start Bad habit: Often, I jump into a project with so much enthusiasm and excitement that I can't be bothered to name my layers or create folders. Using the Marquee tool to create basic shapes Bad habit: Before Photoshop 6, you made all your basic shapes with the Marquee tool. Erasing instead of masking Bad habit: I STILL catch myself making a duplicate layer of an image and removing the background with the Eraser tool while keeping the original copy in an invisible layer as a "backup".

Architect Marko Simcic designed this 8300 square foot waterfront house located in the rural district of Metchosin, British Columbia, Canada, which is on the southern end of Vancouver Island. Although the house is large, Simcic took great care in placing the home on the 67-acre site in order to preserve the existing grove of oak trees.
The building actually consists of two seperate homes, the larger main house is located closer to the ocean, while the guest house is set back inland. Although separated by an exterior space, the two buildings appear as one because of the continuity of the roof plane. The home is currently for sale through Sotheby’s Realty, view the listing – here. Read more about the home in this article from Canadian Architect Magazine – here. Visit architect Marko Simcic’s website – here. 160 Creative and Inspiring Print Ads | Back to Essentials. Create an Interactive Stack of Photos. In this tutorial, you will learn how to build an interactive stack of photos using Flash.
This is a great technique to display numerous images in a limited amount of space, and the best part is that it is extremely easy to execute. Check out the final result. Click on the photos. Step 1 First, open up a new ActionScript 3 document in Flash, and create three layers: actions, photos, and background. In the properties panel, set the size of your stage. I used 500 x 338 for this example. Step 2 Our photos need something to lay on, so import a texture to the “background” layer.
Select the “photos” layer and import one of your photos to the stage(File > Import > Import to Stage). Step 3 Once the image has been converted to a MovieClip, double click on it to view it’s time line. Step 4 Now lets lift our photo off the table a bit by adding a shadow.

Each time I snapped the following images: 3 exposures @10mm (Canon EF-S 10-22 F3.5-4.5 USM) 3 exposures @17mm (Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS USM) 3 exposures @55mm (Canon EF-S 17-55 f2.8 IS USM) All images shot in RAW.

This is not a list of critically acclaimed indie releases which no one saw because they didn't get any advertising. Those movies may have been skipped by audiences, but most of them are having their names screamed so loudly by critics and awards givers that let's face it, they've had their shot.
In Bruges, you're awesome but you're already getting Oscar buzz. Sorry Slumdog Millionaire, you do not need another champion. This is about movies which people might have been interested in, heck should have been interested in, but for often baffling reasons weren't. City of Ember The air has gone out of the fantasy genre and in a year littered with terrible Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings knockoffs City of Ember dared to be different.

9pinke.jpg (JPEG Image, 809x596 pixels) The house that flows. Forget what you thought you knew about architecture, because this house will blow your mind; the layout of the house, the views and the sheer architectural artistry and imagination which made it come to life. The Wilkinson Residence, designed by architect Robert Harvey Oshatz, is a one of a kind piece of architectural art. Located in Portland, Oregon, this house architecture design and location bring the main level of the house into the tree canopy to evoke the feeling of being in a tree house. I call it, the house that flows. The client asked for a house that not only became a part of the natural landscape but, also addressed the flow of music.
This unique design uses a natural wood ceiling which floats on curving laminated wood beams and glass walls. I love how the spaces in this amazing house flow inside and out – One has to actually stroll through the house to capture it’s complexities and it’s connection to the exterior; it seems as if the house almost wraps itself around you.

The year 2008 in photographs (part 1 of 3) - The Big Picture - B. 2008 has been an eventful year to say the least - it is difficult to sum up the thousands of stories in just a handful of photographs. That said, I will try to do what I've done with other photo narratives here, and tell a story of 2008 in photographs.
It's not the story of 2008, it's certainly not all stories, but as a collection it does show a good portion of what life has been like over the past 12 months. This is a multi-entry story, 120 photographs over three days. Watch for part 2 and part 3 tomorrow and the next day. (40 photos total) Lightning bolts appear above and around the Chaiten volcano as seen from Chana, some 30 kms (19 miles) north of the volcano, as it began its first eruption in thousands of years, in southern Chile May 2, 2008.
