Saw this at a store the other day and thought it was pretty cool (not the product, the packaging). If they would have just followed through on their web site, it could have been so much cooler.

Tom forwarded a link to me: Interview with Hamad Darwish, the photographer that took all of the photos for the Windows Vista Desktops. Apparently he took 6,000 photos in 2 weeks and Microsoft only used 5 of them. Amazing.

You can see the photos in this Flickr collection. Trying to find out where to download the high resolution versions.

Wilson A. “Snowflake” Bentley (1865–1931), born in Jericho, Vermont, USA, is the first known photographer of snowflakes. He perfected a process of catching flakes on black velvet in such a way that their images could be captured before they either melted or evaporated.

He photographed more than 5,000 “crystals” in his lifetime. His process was to capture them on a blackboard, and then shuffle them onto black velvet. You can see more of his collection here.

Here’s a photo I took of someone taking a photo. I like how the red and blue blend together. If you’re into coffee photos, check out this gallery I just uploaded.

Got my Pinsetter buttons!

Check out this fun photo I took last Friday at a Taco Bell on the west side of Phoenix.

I really dig this map. It’s so exact.

My friend Gary sent me this link with some amazing photos of a Giugiaro Mustang. You must see these. Check out how they used cowhide for the fabric. It’s even used on the floor boards. Amazing stuff.

In other news, 37signals pointed us to Cartype, a sweet site that has logos for car companies. The page of Fiat logos is an excellent example of the depth this site goes into.
