Bebelusii zburatori - prima parte

EN: A Mother’s Portrait Photography of Her Flying Baby

Providence, Rhode Island based photographer and mom, Rachel Hulin, got bored and it was her son Henry who flew to her rescue.

See her less than ordinary, baby portraits, below.

  

“I felt like the pictures could show the world that babies inhabit that is all their own. Some people like the cute ones, some people like the spooky ones. I do feel compelled to keep making them. It’s funny, I already feel nostalgic seeing how little he was in his first flights.” -Rachel Hulin- (paraphrased)

RO: O mama fotografiaza copilul sau zburator

Pasionata de fotografie, Rachel Hulin, o mama din Providence, Rhode Island, intr-o zi s-a plictisit si a fost fiul sau Henry care a zburat in ajutorul sau.

Vedeti mai jos pozele iesite din comun ale bebelusului.

"Am simtit ca aceste fotografii ar putea sa arate lumea in care bebelusii locuiesc si care este o lume toata a lor. Unele persoane prefera pozele dragute, altii pe cele un pic mai infricosatoare. Eu ma simt fericita sa fac aceste fotografii. Este amuzant, deja ma simt nostalgica vazand cat de micut era in primele sale zboruri" - Rachel Hulin - (citat)

18 National Flags Made From Food.. 18 Steaguri create din mancare

18 National Flags Made From Food

18 Steaguri create din mancare

These delicious flags were designed for the Sydney International Food Festival by the advertising agency WHYBIN\TBWA. It’s a fantastic concept that creates a nation’s flag from the food associated with the country. Now many of viewers will likely disagree with some of the foods selected to symbolize a particular country, but keep in mind it can be challenging to not only use food that represents the country but also works with the actual design of the flag (e.g., starfruit for stars). And it’s for fun! Don’t take it too seriously :)

We weren't able to identify all of the ingredients, so please help us label the missing ones! And let us know in the comments which flags you would add and what foods it would be made of! I think for Canada, it would have to be two giant strips of peameal bacon for the red stripes and a maple leaf made out of maple syrup! Mmmm mayple syrup..

Aceste steaguri delicioase au fost realizate pentru Festivalul International de Gastronomie de la Sydney de catre agentia de publicitate WHYBIN/TBWA. Prin acest concept fantastic au creat drapele nationale din mancarea asociata tarii. Probabil unii din privitori vor dezaproba unele din mancarurile selectate pentru a simboliza o tara anume, dar tineti in minte ca poate fi provocator nu doar sa folosesti mancarea care reprezinta tara dar care sa se potriveasca exact cu modelul steagului (de exemplu, fructe in forma de stea in loc de stele). Si in plus, este pentru divertisment, nu le luati prea in serios :)

Nu am reusit sa identificam toate ingredientele asa ca va rog ajutati-ne sa le gasim pe cele lipsa! Si spuneti-ne printr-un comentariu ce alte steaguri ati alege si din ce mancaruri ar fi facute! Cred ca pentru Canada ar trebui sa fie 2 fasii uriase de bacon pentru liniile rosii si o frunza de artar realizata din sirop de artar! Miammm, siropul de artar..

EN: Jack Long’s High Speed Photographs of Paint Splashes that Looks Like Flowers...!!

At first glance, these incredible images look like still-life portraits of some exotic flowers. But no; these are actually high speed photographs of colored water, captured in a way to mimic the shape of blooms, leaves, and even pots.

Artist Jack Long uses water mixed with thickeners and dyes and then uses an electronic flash to capture the right moment as the mixture falls through the air. His work takes months of painstaking planning and testing.

RO: Fotografiile de mare viteza facute de Jack Long realizate stropilor de vopsea arata ca florile..!! La prima privire, aceste imagini incredibile arata precum imortalizari ale unei naturi moarte cu flori exotice. Dar nu, acestea sunt in realitate fotografii la mare viteza a apei colorate, capturate intr-un mod care sa imite forma de flori inflorite, frunzelor si chiar si oale.

Artistul Jack Long foloseste apa amestescata cu agenti de ingrosare si cu coloranti iar apoi foloseste un blitz electronic care sa captureze momentul potrivit in timp ce amestecuil cade prin aer. Munca sa ia luni de planificare minutioasa si de testare.

Imbratisarile si efectele lor benefice

Puterea unei imbratisari

Este bine dovedit ca toti avem nevoie de contactul fizic cu cei dragi. Imbratisarea este forma cea mai importanta de transmitere a aceste miraculoase calduri umane.

Cand ne atingem intr-o imbratisare afectuoasa, ne invioram intens simturile si reafirmam incredere in propriile sentimente.

Deseori nu gasim cuvintele potrivite pentru a exprima ce simtim, acea imbratisare este coplesitoare. Alteori nu indraznim sa spunem ce simtim, ori din timiditate, ori ca sentimentele ne tulbura si in acest caz imbratisarea isi dovedeste amploarea.
