Ok, I can’t read Russian and I’m not really sure who’s this guy (if it’s only one one), but his images are, technically speaking, impressive.
And I like his creativity, the atmosphere, the mood in his photos, and the weird characters populating them.. also he’s experimenting with 3D photos using small animations.. Anyway, check tebe-interesno out!

When the world economy is going to rack and ruin and a lot of people have been laid off, I’m wondering.. what’s the solution?
Well, the Japanese Finance Minister Shoichi Nakagawa has great advice to give: get drunk!
During the G7 meeting of finance ministers in Rome few days ago, Nakagawa was seen to be slurring his words and exhibiting other odd behavior, which some attributed to alcohol.However, he stated that the reason for his drowsiness and slurred speech was that he had taken too much cold medicine before the meeting.
Some points about this guy:
However, Nakagawa san is in good company!
Nakagawa’s party colleagues Yoshiro Mori found the performance – where the minister was representing Japan on the international stage – less than amusing and immediately concluded that Nakagawa’s stupor was alcohol-induced.
But Mori himself has more his own brushes with embarrassment. During his short tenure as prime minister from 2001 to 2003, he suggested that childless women should be barred from receiving social security payments once they retired.
And a former public health minister once referred to women as “birth machines.”
Even current Prime Minister Taro Aso once insulted pensioners when he accused them of constantly visiting their physicians instead of keeping themselves fit and healthy.
Aso’s Government is definitely a mess..
Anyway, he resigned yesterday..

I’m not a big fan of manga & anime, but I absolutely love Ghost in The Shell.
Why do I like it?
The setting is cyberpunk, similar to that of William Gibson‘s Sprawl trilogy. The atmosphere is stunning, the locations somehow remind me of Hong Kong, and all the electronic gadgets are so cool.. I’d like to live some months is a place like that!
Anyway, check out the introduction

And a cool fan made video, where you can see the city and anyway, the graphic design.

In this Kit you’ll find 4 different presets I’m using often as a starting point to process my pictures with a “cinematic” look.
Cinema 1 – High contrast, rich black, low saturation (except for the red), semi-hdr treatment.
Cinema 2 – Similar to cinema 1 but slightly brighter and using a duotone violet/blue.
Cinema Warm & Cool – I use a lot the cool version

What happens when you want to take street photos but it’s almost night, you’re not using a tripod and don’t like to hug a traffic light to avoid camera shake?
Just that you get frustrated, bored, and a Zeiss 50mm/0.7constantly comes to you in your dreams.
But don’t let that devil’s tool called tripod tempt you, there’s a solution to take photos at night, with high shutter speed and having a lot of fun. It’s called: The Daido Moriyama Kit by ReallyJapan.
First of all, Daido Moriyama is a Japanaese photographer I kinda like because his street photographs are gritty, harsh, raw, very analogish, punk in some way.
This style is pretty cool, and works pretty well with grainy, high iso shots.
Now, let’s open the DM Kit and let’s build the perfect low-light-fun machine, here’s what you need to do:
I don’t know if that works for you, but for me it’s a really refreshing technique. As soon as I get too stressed trying to take good, non grainy shots, I turn on the Daido Moriyama style and I have a lot of fun.
Now, how do you process this shots?
Well, I’m gonna give you some presets for Lightroom! If you wonder how those presets look like, take a look of this shots in the photoblog:
