World's Most Absurd Warning Signs And Disclaimers. 8 more of the world's most absurd warning signs and disclaimers. Some people say Americans' love of suing the crap out of each other is a bad thing, but if it wasn't for that litigious spirit our warning signs and product disclaimers would be far less entertaining.
No matter how ridiculous they may seem, remember that at some point in time, someone did something to make each of these signs necessary. Celebrities Who Look like Historical Figures. Portraits. Dear Photograph. BACK TO THE FUTURE : Irina Werning - Photographer. I love old photos.
I admit being a nosey photographer. As soon as I step into someone else’s house, I start sniffing for them. Most of us are fascinated by their retro look but to me, it’s imagining how people would feel and look like if they were to reenact them today… Two years ago, I decided to actually do this. So, with my camera, I started inviting people to go back to their future.. Now its time for KOREA, TAIWAN AND TOKYO.

The Girl Who Loves to Levitate (14 photos) Natsumi Hayashi is a sweet-looking Japanese girl who, one day, decided to take self-portraits..of herself levitating.
She can be spotted in and around Tokyo, equipped with her SLR and her self-timer. When she feels the moment strike, she presses the shutter button down and then, quite literally, "jumps" into place. What I love most about her shots is that they don't feel forced. Natsumi has a way of making us feel as though she naturally levitates throughout life. (Metal) Stairway to Heaven? Shocking Sky Staircase Design. Yes, this stunning and scary staircase is real.
While this stairway in the heavens will not carry you all the way to the clouds, these sensational metal steps can certainly take you to the afterlife quite quickly should you miss a stair while out for a walk. While these stairs truly are attached to the exterior concrete wall of this towering Swiss skyscraper over ten stories off the ground, they are not actually used by anyone – they are, instead, the work of conceptual artists and architects (and now: spectacular staircase designers) Sabina Lang and Daniel Baumann. Hanging high in the sky from the side of a building without so much as handrail, this staircase is dizzying just from the photos.
Of course, no one knows it is ‘only art’ upon an initial sighting – clean, silver, metallic and set to connect two apparent doors, this sleek set of stairs looks like some crazy construction slip-up on when seen at first glance from street level far below. 919549-superhero-costume.jpg (JPEG Image, 650x488 pixels) - Scaled (89%) Along_the_tracks_1_b.jpg (JPEG Image, 800x533 pixels)
