Spectacular Images of the Insides of Musical Instruments March 9, 2012 at 6:14am | by AP These ads by Bjoern Ewers for the Berlin Philharmonic show the insides of orchestral instruments in such a way as to make it seem like we are standing in spacious halls (or in the case of the flute, a spacious tunnel)… Via: Boing Boing Like 9 Wows for daily content like this!

60 insane cloud formations from around the world [PICs] Cloud varieties go way beyond the cumulus, stratus, and cirrus we learn about in elementary school. Check out these wild natural phenomena. STANDING IN A CORNFIELD IN INDIANA, I once saw a fat roll cloud (like #4 below) float directly over my head. It’s a 12-year-old memory that remains fresh. I imagine a lot of these photographers having similar hesitations as they set up for the shots below.
Vietnam and Hong-kong installation Below, some pictures of two installations made in Hong-Kong and at Hué, Vietnam. An huge THANKS to Mimi and her friend for their help and translations with the Vietnamese people. A big thanks to UFUNK for his help and whose is everytime here when i need him for pictures, movies and more. Thanks to the Vietnamese and Hong-Kong people for their sweat words and smiles and thumb up! Below of the pictures the text which explain why this project in origami with rainbow colors. My message for this both installations was a little bit politic (even if i don’t really like it) , for the people.. I just want to speak about the liberty spirit in the Hong-Kong streets and encourage the people to stay independant as they want. For Vietnam, I wanted to use the star of their national flag. When we know the hard history of the country and all their years of war, that’s a tribute for their bravery… Spectrum in the city, abstract rainbows of paper… “This is our cry, this is our pry, For build peace in the world”
Bookshelf Porn Simon Birch’s Hypnotic Paintings Capture Motion Mostly recognized for his kinetic oil-on-canvas pieces, Simon Birch’s vastly multi-mediated art tends towards the fantastical, constantly referencing the alternate realms of the digital, ephemeral, or just plain virtual. Painting, installation, sculpture, circus, photography, live tigers, film — all have come together in massive shows that accurately represent the near-manic vim and vigor in Birch’s practice. Born and trained in the UK, Birch has exhibited work in Beijing, Singapore, Miami and Hong Kong, where he currently resides. His 2010 performance piece, Hope and Glory, divided a 20,000 sq ft space into 14 installations that echoed James Campbell’s hero myth structure, through an array of painting, sculpture, film, performance and photography.
AFP Hall of Fame « AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com No babies were hurt in the making of this photo. Here is Dad’s story: We had just finished up a family reunion in California and decided to do some family pictures on the final day. So we attempt to take pictures of just our family and things are going south quickly. First couple of shots go fine. I watch my son gracefully do a full backwards layout and land flat on his back in the sand. (submitted by Chris) ShareThis
El Salón (inter) Nacional de Artistas visto desde la periferia Al indefinido número de análisis, interpretaciones, críticas, comentarios, opiniones y enunciados (tanto verbales como escritos) en torno a la cargada discusión sobre el 43 Salón (Inter) Nacional de Artistas, quisiera sumar un aporte desde una percepción, considero, alterna en relación a los discursos que por lo general se han dado en el debate. Esta consideración sobre el Salón parte de la experiencia de un estudiante de arte de la ciudad de Barranquilla, ciudad que demuestra sus intereses culturales y artísticos por el apoyo masivo a sus fiestas carnestolendas, muy por encima de cualquier otra dinámica artística o cultural, que se vuelven casi invisibles. En este contexto precario, para el estudiante de artes visuales se hace necesario, casi que obligatorio, tener contacto con obras y eventos relevantes en el ámbito artístico regional y nacional. Las obras expuestas mostraron a muchos, por ejemplo, la fuerza del concepto presente en muchas de las obras. Dylan Altamiranda

Blog 500px Shop offers you the best photography supplements, carefully curated by our team. We’ll introduce high quality and useful products to make your lives easier and your photography experiences even more amazing. Today we bring you the Photographer’s Pouch, designed and produced by Will Kortum. Hi Will! Hi! How did you come up with this idea? I first came up with the Photographer’s Pouch through frustration with my camera bag. Why did you choose to use felt as the material? I chose smooth felt because I wanted something that would be soft enough to protect lenses, filters, and cameras from scratches but that would be less prone to sticking to Velcro. So you're a photographer yourself. I primarily shoot street photography, but I’ve been experimenting with urban landscapes recently. What do you shoot with? For the past 7 months or so, I was shooting almost exclusively Neopan 400 in my Leica M6 and two Ricoh GR1’s, but I’ve recently been focusing more on color work. Awesome advice.
blanco titanio Breve descripción del Blanco titanio El blanco titanio es uno de los mejores pigmentos blancos que han utilizado los artistas en toda la historia del arte; tiene el mayor poder cubriente y colorante, en comparación posee el doble de la opacidad del blanco de plomo; también su estabilidad química es excepcional. Nombres para el blanco Titanio: El nombre "de titanio blanco" viene del latín = Titán hermano mayor de Cronos y antepasado de los Titanes, de Tito griego = día, sol. Algunos investigadores del siglo XX, prominentementes como Jane Ellen Harrison, han argumentado que un ritual iniciático o chamánico subyace en el desmembramiento y canibalismo que practican los Titanes en mito de Dioniso. Harrison también señala que la palabra «Titán» procede del griego τιτανος, que significa ‘tierra blanca’, ‘arcilla’ o ‘yeso’, y que los Titanes eran ‘hombres de arcilla blanca’ u hombres cubiertos de arcilla blanca o polvo de yeso en sus rituales. Algunos ejemplos de sus usos: Detalles técnicos
Salute yo’Suit Women wearing female clothes is not a very novel concept. Women wearing mens clothes is probably even less novel. Women wearing womens clothes designed to emulate those of the male variety–here sparks a bit of interest. I used to have a theory about women being drawn to mens clothing for the sake of quantifying an absolute sense of equality among our gender counterpants–this is a typo I will not fix, the pun is serendipitous. I put said theory to sleep after reading an article in the New York Times titled, “What’s So Wrong About a Boy Who Wants to Wear a Dress?” I wondered why it registered so universally alarming for a boy to want to wear a dress and yet not much at all for a girl to want to wear pants. I should be fair though. Yes, outfits cut from the same cloth percolated through all four major fashion cities. Vogue UK’s September Issue cover girl, Karlie Kloss lent a very complimentary suit-salute to Jonathan Saunders in book. Now, I should be fair one more time.
…reflexiones sobre la paleta (y III) | Pasión por la pintura al óleo… la paleta perenne Durante siglos muchas de las grandes obras se han hecho basándose en colores tierra cálidos como el amarillo ocre, rojo veneciano y siena tostada, conviviendo con colores fríos como el blanco y negro. Bien manejada, la interacción cálido-frío, desde una visión moderna, compensa la carencia de color. Es la paleta de las pinturas rupestres, de muchos frescos Renacentistas y de la obra de pintores como Rembrandt, Velázquez (arriba), Hammershoi y Murillo (abajo). Hay multitud de posibles variaciones sutiles. La característica más importante a destacar sobre los colores tierra es la calidad de los mismos. Maimeri y Blockx; Old Holland y Williamsburg tienen buenos pigmentos, pero usan aceite de linaza que, por mi experiencia, amarillean más. las paletas de tres colores El anterior es un ejemplo de una paleta de tres colores simples a base de Negro Marfil, Tierra Roja y ocre amarillo (tipo Zorn). croma. la masilla de color (‘putty’) La masilla se puede hacer de muchas maneras.
