I saved the pics with the building names and there's a link at the bottom for more info, but I'm curious how many of you know some of these buildings by just looking at them... :-)
Sarah Ann Wright is a previous student of photography and design who conceptualizes all of her work through a dream-heavy looking glass. Her pieces span across the realms of fashion, portrait, landscape and conceptual.
Brock Davis, an artist from Minnesota, takes the familiar moments in everyday life and alters them into something unusual. Davis is able to artistically mold the mundane into something beautiful and interesting.
Matjaz Cater is a landscape photographer from Slovenia. His wonderful images are taken from a bird’s eye view and capture incredible sights from around the world.
Taylor Marie McCormick is an 18-year-old retoucher and photographer from Kentucky whose signature style is based around themes full of romance and fairy tales.
Firearm aficionado Andrew Tuohy has filmed himself firing a range of weapons, but never before underwater.
The gun expert has posted a series of images, as well as a video, to his blog Vuurwapen to show the different effect each gun has in his swimming pool.
After being triggered, a tornado forms at the end of the gun for a few short seconds before the bullet sinks down to the bottom and surrounding bubbles float to the surface.
But Mr Tuohy isn't just firing the guns for fun, he collects the bullets to make 'tactical flowers' for his mother.
The resistance of the water causes the bullet to expand in perfect formation, creating beautiful lead blossoms.
'As pretty as this stuff is to look at, it is also painful - I have plenty of scars from being sliced and poked by metal objects, but holding those bullets in my hand almost made me shiver,' he said.
'I would definitely not want to get shot by any of that stuff.'
He experiments with different bullets and guns to create different effects, claiming the results possessed an 'evil beauty.'
He also soldered the 'flowers' onto some 'stems' to complete the effect.
An avid gemstone collector, he then added precious stones to the center of the bullets, rendering them almost unrecognizable. Read more.
Just had to add this pic from his Facebook. His FB link is at the end of the article if anyone is interested in looking him up, along with his blog, that I linked right above the AR video.
His Caption on the pic below : This is my "Listen, don't buy crappy guns" face. And hand gesture.
Love this guy :D
From his blog... "Those who take a myopic view of trigger modifications, for example, often render firearms unreliable (light strikes, failure or inability to reset) or dangerous (disabling or reducing the effectiveness of internal safety mechanisms). This is not to say that all trigger-related modifications are bad - magazine disconnects, for example, are dumb. However, if something sounds too good to be true, such as a 1911-like trigger in a Glock, then it most likely is (I have two requirements for a carry firearm - that it work when I want it to, and that it not randomly shoot my balls off when I'm running, jumping, and climbing trees)."

Thanks to WiscoDave for the link to The Underwater Article :-)
AngryMike turned me on to this blog, and I would like to share it with all of you... So worth a regular visit. This Lady is truly inspired, her side bar is amazingly revealing.... See for yourself.. Visit her BLOG (Predictable History, Unpredictable Past) Here is a small sample of what you can find there.... I picked out a few things that jumped out at me, some very questionable quotes and Vintage Posters that she does...

“I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”
