    I was away for couple of weeks… so here is what happened in a nutshell: Boarded a plane for Europe and boarded another plane back from Europe. Now I am back in Canada, good times!

    Here are some photos of the Space Shuttle Enterprise ridding piggy-back on a Boeing 747 as it passed over New York City this morning on its way to JFK International Airport.

    It will eventually make its way to it’s permanent home at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum.

    UPDATE 1: Gothamist has also posted some great photos of the Space Shuttle flying over NYC.

    UPDATE 2: Pete P. has some photos of the Enterprise Touchdown in NYC event, including a couple of Leonard Nimoy who was in attendance.

    Yesterday I walked by this vintage 1957 Chevrolet Bel-Air 2-Door Hardtop and I had to stop and take a few photos with my iPhone… What a beauty!

    The 1957 Chevrolet is an automobile which was introduced by the Chevrolet division of General Motors in September, 1956. It was available in three series models: the upscale Bel Air, the mid-range “two-ten”, and the “one-fifty”. A two-door station wagon, the Nomad was produced as a Bel Air model. An upscale trim option called the “Delray” was available for two-ten 2-door sedans. It is a popular and sought after classic car. These vehicles are often restored to their original condition and sometimes modified. The car’s image has been frequently used in toys, graphics, music, movies and television. The ’57 Chevy, as it is often known, is an auto icon.

    Photographer Ian Ruhter creates amazing photographs using a van that he turned into a gigantic camera. You can check out a gallery of Ruhter’s photographs here. He uses the collodion process (wet plate photography) to turn large sheets of metal into photographs:

    This project was created with the same spirit that america was founded on. Our intentions are to connect everyone in america through the lens of this camera and social networking sites. We can’t do this without you. We want to tell your story and show your city or town through photographs of you, and people you know. As we travel around america looking for people and places to shoot you will be able to keep track of where we are going and help us decide where we go next. Join us in our journey by liking our facebook to get yourself photographed by us.

    Japan-based art collective NAM shot this series of advertisements showing gravity-defying chocolate confections. What’s interesting about the concept is that they decided to do everything without digital trickery, opting instead to hang the various foods from thin strings.

    Awesome photos…

    Maho Beach outside of Princess Juliana International Airport in Sint Maarten is famous for the fact that landing airplanes fly overhead at minimal altitude. It’s one of the only places in the world where airplanes can be viewed in their flightpath just outside the end of the runway, and therefore is very popular with tourists and plane spotters. Austrian photographer Josef Hoflehner has a project titled “Jet Airliner” that consists of photos of massive jet airliners hovering over the heads of sunbathers on the beach.

    You can find more of these images here. They’ve also been in a bookJet Airliner [Josef Hoflehner] Image credits: Photographs by Josef Hoflehner and used with permission

    The Surreal gravity-defying photographs of Philippe Ramette:

    Crisis of casualness

    Irrational contemplation

    Rational exploration of the undersea : irrational walk

    Between 2003 and 2006, French conceptual artist Philippe Ramette created a series of gravity-defying photographs that show him in seemingly impossible poses. These illusions were not created digitally as Ramette explains to The Guardian in 2009, “You see a tension in my hands, my red face is far from serene as the blood rushes to it, my suit is ruffled.” Web Urbanist has images and a brief explanation of how Ramette’s illusion is accomplished. via Web Urbanist photos by Philippe Ramette

    Instaprint, Photo Printer for Instagram

    Instaprint is a small photo printer that prints Instagram photos that are tagged with a particular location or hashtag—in essence, an Instagram photo booth. The printers use Wi-Fi to connect to Instagram, printing relevant photos moments after they are posted. The printers can even be daisy-chained together for higher volume printing. Brooklyn-based interactive agency BREAKFAST created Instaprint back in 2011 as a proof-of-concept. They are now raising funds on Kickstarter to develop Instaprint into a consumer product. photo 1 by Scott Beale, photo 2 via Instaprint

    Portraits of People Showing Two Different Periods of Time:

    AgeMaps is a project by photographer Bobby Neel Adams in which he does “photo surgery” on portraits to show two different moments in a person’s life in the same image. For each subject, Adams takes a childhood photo and a current photo, prints them at the same proportions, tears them in half, and glues the halves together. He says that this is to “telescope the slow process of aging into a single picture,” and that “a jump of time is established at the tear.”

    You can see more photographs from this project hereAgeMaps (via Visual News)
