This site gives you an opportunity to transform your face in a variety of ways (ethnicity, age progression/regression, artistic rendition by great painters, etc.). Below is the gallery of my face created from the site.
The last three photos were an experiment. I used a photo of myself as a child to see how accurate it was on how I would look now, as an adult, and later, as an old man. I also think I’d make a kickass anime character.

Artist Maisie Broadhead originally trained as a jeweller and now produces fine art photographic parodies. Her work is being featured as part of a ground-breaking exhibition at the National Gallery. As part of the exhibition Jack Cole and Maisie Broadhead directed a video to be hung next to the 1844 photographic print by Hill and Adamson that it references. It was Produced by Cap Gun Collective, Edited by James Norris at Whitehouse London and Post and VFX by Carbon FX. It recently aired on Channel 4’s “Random Acts”.
In the past, I’d had a few more DIY photologs (Making a Closet, Making a Patio, Making a Genovese) and thought it was about time that I put a new one online.
Last month, our Linux sandbox server died—presumably from heat prostration. So while we were shopping around for a new one, we thought: “wouldn’t it be better if we just built the server ourselves rather than ordering some pre-fab system that doesn’t really suit our needs?” (tons of fans, Debian Lenny/Linux, small, etc.). The parts arrived a few days later. Above is a gallery of the server construction. I’m happy to report that for the last few weeks, the server has been quietly humming without any problems.
Here’s a the step-by-step process of the server’s installation. Below the gallery, you can see a list of the parts we ordered.

The Library of Congress continues to post striking color images from its archives of the United States Farm Security Administration (FSA) and the Office of War Information (OWI), whose photographers created a compelling document of America between 1939 and 1944. For more on the Library’s collection visit loc.gov.
What really caught my eye about these beautiful photos isn’t necessarily the composition, but rather the ephemera and war propaganda that covers the walls in the rural school in San Augustine County, Texas. The photos were taken around the time that my parents were born and it’s curious to read the messages on the posters that say things like: “Schools At War: We Are Ready – What About You?” and “Buy War Bonds“.

Humanæ is a chromatic inventory, a project that reflects on the colors beyond the borders of our codes by referencing the PANTONE® color scheme.
The project development is based on a series of portraits whose background is dyed with the exact Pantone® tone extracted from a sample of 11×11 pixels of the portrayed’s face. The project’s objective is to record and catalog all possible human skin tones.

I posted a gallery back in July of last year about Caren Alpert’s microscopic food photos. It seems that Mr. Legoullon’s taking a page from her book to showcase the microscopic photography of popular beverages (coffee, tea, wine, beer and cola). Although they’re not as vivid as Ms. Alpert’s work, they’re still exceptionally beautiful.
Read about the project on Legoullon’s site.
