Rainbow roses: Impossible?

Sounds impossible right? Apparently not. In 2004, the alliance of two Dutch companies, River Flowers and F.J Zandbergen, resulted in perfecting the process of growing flowers with many different colors. The secret? Placing the roses in special water, with different substances already dissolved in it. The roses absorb this water as part of natural process and it changes the colors of the petals. The Rainbow Rose Company, where you can buy these special flowers, not only have these “Happy Roses” but other color combinations with roses and many other types of flowers like Chrysanthemum and Hydrangea. I find it a little hard to believe but hey, anything is possible.

Pencil vs. Camera: Photography or Art?

Stumbling along the internet, I found amazing photos by a Belgium artist named Ben Heine. Born in Abidjan and currently living and working in Brussels, he had developed his own project called “Pencil vs. Camera” (also called “Drawing vs Photography” or “Imagination vs Reality“). He takes a drawing he created and suprerimposes it over a photpo, making the audience debate between reality and imagination in his photography. It’s really sensational stuff and should be considered as a new type of art.

Liliana Karadjova Photography

So I was browsing this site, 1x.com, and discovered photos by Ms. Liliana Karadjova. What caught my eye about her photos were how her lighting helped captivated the mood of the picture, even if you saw no facial expressions of the model or his/her face was cut off/blocked. Just by the lighting you can tell the mood of the picture just from the body language and facial expressions the models give. I also like how she uses the TV’s in some photos to represent the model’s reflection or maybe their feeling of being trapped. This woman is talented and her pictures will go far.
