Le Bal Animals Illuminated by the Sun The time of sunset is defined in astronomy as the moment when the trailing edge of the Sun’s disk disappears below the horizon in the west. There are few things in nature as photogenic as the sky at sunset, especially animals. The rich bright gold, pink and orange colors make unusually beautiful pictures of animals illuminated by the sun.

Genius Transformer Baby Gear: The Koo Transforms From Bassinet to Rocker Koo Rocker/Bassinet by Lunar – Inhabitots Any one who has ever lived with a newborn knows that the first few weeks of round-the-clock feedings are mind-numbingly exhausting for new parents. The Koo, a new transformer bassinet/rocking chair and late-night feeding system, hopes to make the new parent burden a little easier by smoothing out the edges on the late-night feeding routine, by providing everything a new mom (or dad) needs all in one convenient package. We spotted the Koo at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair this past week, and we could see all the moms in the vicinity fawning over this multitasking superhero of baby furniture.. Built by Lunar, the Koo is a bassinet that turns into a rocker and back again, a genius maneuver that not only eases baby’s transition from feeding to sleeping, but also minimizes both the product’s carbon footprint and its physical one. Simply put, babies are stuff magnets. + Koo + Lunar
ARTactif annuaire visuel des artistes et de l'art contemporain 25 Incredibly Detailed Black And White Portraits of the Homeless by Lee Jeffries Lee Jeffries career began as a sports photographer, capturing the beautiful game of football in Manchester. Then a chance meeting with a homeless woman living in the streets of London changed his life forever. He has since dedicated himself to capturing gripping portraits of the disenfranchised. Shooting exclusively in black and white, Lee Jeffries’ 135+ pictures can be viewed in his Flickr Photostream. Lee Jeffries lives in Manchester in the United Kingdom. Lee Jeffries recalls that, initially, he had stolen a photo from this young homeless girl huddled in a sleeping bag. The models in his photographs are homeless people that he has met in Europe and in the United States: «Situations arose, and I made an effort to learn to get to know each of the subjects before asking their permission to do their portrait.»

Soulages : «Je ne dépeins pas, je peins» Rendez-vous pris en son atelier parisien, rue Saint-Victor, dans le Ve arrondissement. Pierre Soulages a une voix chantante, versant pyrénéen, dont il sait user, reflétant tout en nuances les traits d’esprit comme la lumière rasante sait caresser le tissu de ses toiles. Carrure d’adepte du rugby, il tient un peu du judoka, comme Yves Klein en son temps. Son éternel accoutrement noir, chemise sortie du pantalon, n’est pas sans évoquer un kimono de samouraï. Bien campé sur sa position, mais toujours prêt à prendre l’interlocuteur à contre-pied, ou du moins avec juste le mouvement qu’il faut pour le déplacer. Annoncé pour une demi-heure, l’entretien a duré cinq heures, en sirotant la fiole iodée de fino apportée par Dan, son assistant aux cheveux longs, pour reprendre quelques jours plus tard. Aussi a-t-on été très attiré en apprenant que Sylvie Ramond, au tropisme appuyé pour la peinture abstraite, avait invité l’artiste à présenter ses derniers travaux au musée des Beaux-Arts de Lyon.
