Monster baby seat

Anybody know anything about this baby seat/car? I found this image over at imageR but there’s no information about it. I’d love to know if this is purchaseable or if it’s a custom project by somebody.

UPDATE: MISHKA reports that this thing was made by Elmer Presslee, the same person who created the eyeball inside the Cyco-Simon Mask that sits at the MISHKA Broadway store. It’s funny because I figured that if anybody knew who made this, it’d be the folks at MISHKA, and I was right!

UPDATE 2: John Prolly has the link to actual photos from Elmer Presslee. See below (or start here on Flickr).

Ribbon Staircase by HSH Architects

Check out this beautiful ribbon staircase from HSH Architects. The staircase is made from 10mm thick sheet metal and constructed in such a way that the stairs are able to bear the weight of an adult with ease. I’m loving these staircases that are open on one side. [via]

Pick one

Choose one of the two options, but not both. Each subsequent decision will lead to yet another in a random combination. Choose quickly but also pick wisely.

Also, there’s no guarantee that you’ll see the same choice combination above, but you might if you play long enough.

50 people respond to one question in London

The Fifty People One Question folks are back with their latest video, this time in London where they ask strangers where they wish they could wake up.

For some reason however, the creators aren’t letting people embed the video, so you’ll have to head on over to the Fifty People One Question website to view it.

RED One camera with Canon lens

Vincent Laforet has been experimenting with some crazy camera setups lately and he’s recently been showing off his RED One camera with an 800mm Canon f/5.6. Here’s how Vincent describes the monster:

The Red EOS Mount by Wicked Circuits was created by Andy Lesniak and Richard Wardlow. It allows you to control both Iris (Aperture) and focus control of any Canon EF Lens mounted to a RED One (Link to Wicked Circuits to come.) This will allow us to shoot 4K, 3K and 2K footage at up to 120 fps. The lens (w/ the crop factor) will be the equivalent of a 1280mm 5.6 and up (depending on the resolution we set.)

This is seriously one of the craziest camera setups I’ve ever seen. I hope he gets to post some samples up on his site for public viewing. I’m very interested in seeing how images come out!
