Jonatan Castro not only has a great website but he also has some incredible skills at designing computer icons. Believe it or not, the three images here are icons and not photos (or photos converted into icons) of the actual products represented. If you want to use these icons here for your computer, you can download them all for free at Jonatan’s website.

The New York Times Lens blog has a nice gallery of photos looking back on the summer blackout of 2003. I remember the 2003 blackout very fondly and it was definitely one of the most special memories I have of living in New York City. Lens really brings it all back with this post. Heh.

Planet5D posted this totally awesome music video shot with a Canon 5D Mark II with a Panavision movie lens attachment. As far as I know, there isn’t an official Panavision movie lens adapter for Canon SLR’s, so it looks like Axel Gimenez created his own and then shot the music video below for the song “Secret” by Cynic Guru. Beautiful, ain’t it?

If you’ve never had a chance to look at Subway Art
Subway Art was recently re-published as a giant 25th anniversary edition

First off, I just want to say that I had no idea there were actually 4 different photos of the so-called “Tank Man” in Tiananmen Square, but there are and The New York Times caught up with all four photographers to get their take on one of history’s most iconic photos. According to the Times, all 4 photos were taken from the Beijing Hotel overlooking Changan Avenue (the Avenue of Eternal Peace).
Anyway, it turns out that due to that article in The New York Times, a fifth and never-before-published photo of “Tank Man” was revealed today. The photo was taken on the ground by Terril Jones and in his photo you can see “Tank Man” standing at far left in the distance as the tanks come barreling down toward him. This is pretty amazing that even 20 years after the incident new images are still coming to light.

Ginger sent me a pair of these lovely Ray-Ban New Wayfarers direct from Italy. Just in time for summer! Here’s a nice little fact about Ray-Ban sunglasses: the left lens has a tiny etched “RB” on it. I would have never known that had I not seen one up close (by the way, the picture below isn’t supposed to show you it, it’s just there for a general detail view). Whee! This is nice.
