Dirty Car?

Next time you have a dirty car, don't worry about washing it, just draw pictures instead!

Interesting bookshelf

Tired of boring old bookcases? Here's a James Hopkins bookcase idea I found on StumbleUpon:

...can you see the faces?

Coke Evolution...

Now I don't believe in evolution, but when it comes to coke...I thought this was pretty cool.

Writing a Picture

Who knew?

"Blow"

Not too long ago I watched the movie "Blow" starring Johnny Depp as George Jung who was a major drug dealer in the 60s. He wasn't just any drug dealer though; he made the whole cocaine industry in America. Pretty amazing if you ask me. Here's a smart man just trying to get money like everybody else--he just happens to take the drug route. Too bad he couldn't invest his brain, energy, and time into something else so he wouldn't be in jail until around 2015. Anyways, amazing movie. If you have the time to check it out, I definitely recommend it.

Clever High Heels...

I came across a page of about 10 clever high heels, but these were my favorite:

Anyone else feel like crossing this bridge?

This is a Library?

Library at University of Washington:

Umm...hello?

Anyone notice anything wrong about this picture?

Beautiful Photo

StumbleUpon seems to be my goto thing for basically everything on my blog. Here is a photo I came across that I find absolutely amazing.

Adorable Bracelet

I love this bracelet. New project?

Weight Loss?

Came across this bizarre way people can apparently lose weight...hmm interesting:

1. sniff a banana, apple, or peppermint: I guess a Doctor did a study on 3,000 people and he came to the conclusion that the more you sniffed, the more weight you lose. It's all about tricking the brain.

2. hang a mirror opposite your seat at the table: eating in front of a mirror apparently cuts your food intake by 1/3...that adds up. I guess looking at yourself in the mirror is almost like yourself reminding you that you're trying to lose weight. 

3. surround yourself with blue: blue actually acts as an appetite suppressant while colors like red, yellow, and orange make you want to eat more. 

4. shoot your food: not with a gun of course, but with a camera. Forget trying to write down what you eat what century are you from? Instead, break out your camera and take a snapshot! Turns out that when you look back at it, you'll actually stop and think before indulging again. 

5. tie yourself up: not to a tree...you'll just look stupid. French women actually tie a ribbon around their waist beneath their clothing before eating. It keeps you conscious of your stomach as you eat (and the ribbon gets tighter)

Awkward Street Sign...

Umm...ok.

Tattoo

Here's my inspiration for a tattoo...

...that is if I could get one without my parents disowning me

Zombie Tattoo Boy goes bare!

I came across this on...you guessed it StumbleUpon! I thought it was really cool. A photographer came across this man on the street and wanted to do a photo shoot with him without his tattoos! I guess there's this special creme that is used to make tattoos disappear for movies and photo shoots and such. Sweet!

Day VS Night

These are just some cool photography tricks that I found and thought I'd share.
