Lighting the Fuse

The United Colours of Benetton advertising has always courted controversy. Remember this one from 1991? Well they have done it again, with images probably inspired by this iconic 1979 image of Leonid Brezhnev and Erich Honeker then the leader of the German Democratic Republik. For an excellent explanation of the history of the kiss that […]

Love these photos of cities in the clouds. First up Dubai (you can almost imagine Sheikh Zayed Road running between the buildings, although i have to say that this image always looked a little photo shopped to me?) Next up San Francisco of course, a city that looks great in the clouds. Luckily. Woolworth’s tower in the […]

I know, I know…. boo to war etc. I agree of course, but there is still something pretty awesome about these images. And then there are these which look frightening! Are they real people? If so, they are all adopting interesting and very different positions as they fly through the air!

Take an inspiring and inspired trip around the world from the comfort of your own lounge with this extremely well stitched together and edited film. In their words: 3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage… all to turn 3 ambitious […]

Mohamed Al Fayed is a pretty funny fish in general, but I have to admit to lacking a certain understanding for the latest folly. It was originally meant to stand in Al fayed’s Harrods, but he sold that to the Arabs (as if they didn’t pretty much own it anyway, or at least its contents…). Anyway, […]

I love it when you see pictures of the G8 or G7 or whatever. All the world leader’s just look so much like caricatures of their own nationalities. Not really surprising when you think that (in most cases at least) they are democratically elected, so at least to some extent a reflection of the people who have […]

Old one, but a good one. Lady reacts to missing a flight at Hong Kong airport to LA via Manila (since learning that she was on en-route to LA, this suddenly all makes sense!).I just love the repeated, ongoing and seemingly relentless despair that she shows at missing that plane. The poor woman, she was […]

Wow. Some of these pics are a tad  on the disturbing side, many are also incredibly beautiful. Amazing to see what Barbie is up to these days! Certainly the attention to detail in each of these scenes is incredible, even if the subject matter of what Barbie is getting up to is, well, less cool. […]

We can all make them of course, but here a little selection that are special as a result of the situation and who’s face it happens to be. Some classics. More funny faces here.

So as a world record holder myself (see here if you were not aware that I hold the world record for the most number of consecutive alternate eyebrow twitches in a minute), I can see the attraction of wanting hold a world record. This guy already had 11, so not sure why he felt the […]
