Your eyes do not deceive — this is a photograph!
You might remember Alexa Meade from her fantastic photographs of painted people that we’ve posted in the past.
Well, here’s new work with Sheila Vand, the woman that appears painted in these photos, and a behind-the-scenes video showing how it’s done.
This DIY camera was made from a stack of books on photography. Heh.
It’s part of Taiyo Onorato and Nico Krebs’ photo book titled As Long As It Photographs It Must Be a Camera. More at American Photo at the link!

Amazing DIY idea that’d make a great project or gift: Use photographs or vintage postcards to turn a fruit box into a stylish calendar!

Frozen bubbles would make amazing photo props! We’d love to get these under a macro lens, too.
Did you know that you can freeze bubbles? Go outside on any day when it’s below 32 degrees F and try this: blow a bubble and then catch it on the bubble wand. Wait a few moments while it freezes- it will turn into a cool crystal ball before it shatters!
Too cold to go outside? You can learn how to make your own crystal ball bubbles in the freezer with soap by checking out the site below…

This lightweight night-cycling vest displays your current speed in glowing, 7-inch-tall numbers easily visible to cars. On the back, an Arduino microcontroller reads input from an off-the-shelf bike speedometer sensor, and then switches power to sewn-in numerals made from electroluminescent (EL) wire.
