I have been seeing this kind of art on YouTube. The technique is simple, all you need is a pen light and a digital camera using the long exposure setting. For example, you will need to set your digital camera for a very long exposure (1 hour and more) and then walks around with a flash light or pen light. If you move around enough in a long exposure you will be invisible on the landscape, not the light. Then you should have in mind what you are going to draw.

It’s definitely something I will try with my friends on a raining day :D

My curiosity was piqued to discover the Great China Wall. I was looking for the biggest structure made by human. I could just fall on the largest and longest human-made structure ever built in terms of surface area and mass. Measuring only 6,400 km, you can walk all day! The China Wall was constructed to defend the border from enemies. Mao Zedong, Chairman of the Communist Party of China, had a saying, “You’re not a real man if you haven’t climbed the Great Wall”. What about studying it a little more, before climbing it.

Ads for the multi-platform game All-Pro Football 2K8. I don’t know what to say, I guess poster games don’t really fit in that format.

The road signs have been present in our life. It’s almost the only thing that I’m required or forced to follow. The disregard of following signs may constitute a violation of the law. The first road signs were the milestone, used by the Romans. They erected stone columns throughout their empire, which is giving them the distance to Rome. That’s why we used to say, “Every road leads to Rome”. Today the road signs is used to instruct us on what we must or should do under a given set of circumstances. What happens when a road sign makes you think, if there is something wrong.

I discovered today a new kind of ducks that I didn’t know before, the mandarin duck. If we compare to our North American Wood Duck. The mandarin duck is way more colorful, his breast is purple with two vertical white bars, and the flanks ruddy, with two orange “sails” at the back. In China, the mandarin duck is associated as a Chinese weddings symbol, because it symbolize wedded bliss and fidelity. But in reality, though, the ducks find new partners each year. A Chinese proverb for loving couples uses the Mandarin Duck as a metaphor: “Two mandarin ducks playing in water”.
