By the way, click on the "Painting" link - his weird art (some nsfw) is quite interesting. ------------ Gothic Machinery Belgian artist Wim Delvoye brings heavy machinery to another level of sophistication: See more of his elaborate work here, and explore his "pixelated" site. ------------ Fly Across Walmart Denis Darzacq is another photographer who makes his models defy gravity in seemingly common settings.

Not according to this article. This fine 60s van is also a part of the great list of "spy" vehicles (actually TV detectors) here. ------------ Did you see "Wanted?" This neat little matchbox label from 1950s Russia clearly says: "To travel on the train roofs is dangerous" (tell it to the Angelina Jolie / Fox) On the other hand, it implies that some people in good old Russia actually traveled like this quite often. ------------ READ THE PREVIOUS ISSUE Permanent Link......+StumbleUpon ...+Facebook Dark Roasted Blend's Photography Gear Picks:
