Ever wonder what the superheroes do on their daily life? You know the ones I’m talking about. The Batman, Spiderman, Captain America, et al? Who are they really? Yeah, me, too. And apparently photographer Gregg Segal has as well and has actually followed each superhero home and photographed their not-so-super lives.

Gregg Segal is an unusual guy and it’s reflected in his unusual subject matter whether it’s the daily lives of pirates or superheroes. Self described as “too fine art for documentary and too documentary for fine art,” Segal has tried to carve out his own niche, blending both disciplines.

One of his most brilliant projects is this series of superheroes about the house: they combine portraiture with fiction and settings include Batman’s house, Superman’s bedroom, and the Hulk’s garden. Anyone who believes in superheroes may at one time have imagined what Captain America’s foyer would be like, or whether Wonder Woman ever had time to tidy up her backyard.

Have a look at his photographs and discover how the most powerful superheroes on earth manage their daily chores. Did you know Superman does his own laundry?

G.I. Joe is a line of military-themed articulated “action figures” produced by the toy company Hasbro. The initial product offering represented four of the branches of the U.S. Armed Forces with the Action Soldier (Army), Action Sailor (Navy), Action Pilot (Air Force) and Action Marine (USMC). It was one of those Cartoons that Many would have grown up watching.

Stephen Sommers is bringing the GI-Joe to our theaters in a live-action movie based on the heroes created by Hasbro. The story is set at Brussels-based GIJOE, an acronym for the Global Integrated Joint Operating Entity, and revolves around an international co-ed force of operatives who use high-tech equipment to battle Cobra, an evil org headed by a Scottish arms dealer.

The movie looks like exactly what a live action G.I.Joe movie should be. That’s an action pack movie not to miss!

His photographs have been mesmerizing the world since 2007, with captivating photos taken inside waves as well as stunning angles usually only seen by hard core surfers.

Clark Little grew up on the North Shore of Oahu and made his name as the pioneer of surfing the Waimea Bay shorebreak. Clark had a unique talent for taking off on hopeless crunchers, getting launched and surviving in perhaps the nastiest shorebreak in the world.

Clark has captured images like none other, with a keen eye for that perfect barrel, backwash, or reef shot. He has expanded his repertoire to include not only crushing pits, but also crystal waves that resemble hand-blown glass and picturesque island moments that reflect the awe-inspiring splendor of the Hawaiian Islands.

‘I try to capture the beauty of these monstrous waves from the inside out,’ said the father of two, ‘I’m always in the water before dawn to try to snap that perfect picture as the sun rises.’

These stunning images below capture the power and glory of waves as they are about to crash down onto the shore.

Transformers 2 - Revenge of the Fallen - is one of the most anticipated blockbusters this year. Followed by the success of the first movie in 2007, which stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky and Megan Fox as Mikaela Banes, a teenage couple involved in a war between the heroic Autobots and the evil Decepticons, two factions of alien robots who can disguise themselves by transforming into everyday machinery.

The Transformers was an 80-issue American comic book series published by Marvel Comics. The Autobots and Decepticons land on Earth via the the Ark, paralleling the cartoon. The Autobots are reformatted by the Ark to resemble cars and trucks; the Decepticons take the form of jets, weapons and a cassette deck with tapes.

Aviation photography is the act of capturing images of aircraft, either in flight, or on the ground. Like other specialties in photography, aviation photography requires knowledge of special techniques and of the aircraft to be done properly. There are different types of aviation photography, including air-to-air, ground-to-air, ground-static, and remote photography. Military aviation photography, especially air to air, requires additional skills, as the photo and target aircraft often fly at velocities from 500 to 1000 knots, while under moderate to high G. The photographer also must wear a flight suit, flight boots, G-suit, flight helmet with communications system, oxygen mask and visor.

We’ve all had nightmares. However, there is a big difference between childhood nightmares and adult nightmares. As children I don’t think we’re exactly dreaming of our boss’s bad breath or that smelly guy in the office that’s just way too close to you.

Photographer from Kansas assures that his work is not “photoshop” collages. According to Joshua, each submitted picture photography is staged with actors and realistic decorations. In the future, ImageMaster used to emphasize details, enhance color and contrast images.

“My images are not photoshop collages.I use photoshop to finesse details and to adjust color and contrast for printing.I use friends and family members as actors and crew.Everyone works for free. We do it for fun.” says Joshua Hoffine whose eye catching artworks may remind us of our very own childhood fears!

A work of art like no other, created by an artist like no other - the new BMW Z4 Roadster.

BMW’s famous series of art cars are all fantastic works of automotive art–the 3.0 CSLs by Alexander Calder and Frank Stella, the M1 by Andy Worhol, even Jenny Holzer’s strange LMR race car, which simply read “Protect Me From What I Want” across the top in big letters was interesting. But now it’s a new millennium and a new artist just has to come along and turn the idea of an art car on its head.

That’s exactly what Robin Rhode has done with the brand-new 2010 Z4, using it not as the canvas but as the brush. That’s right–Rhode covered a giant white floor with globs of paint, then had his buddy drive all over it, making lines and circles of tire treads in primary colors. To avoid any accidental mixing of colors, Rhode used various sets of tires, just as an artist would use different brushes. He’s calling the resulting football field-sized work “An Expression of Joy.” It took twelve hours to make, and as you’ll see in the gallery, actor Dennis Hopper tagged along, reportedly on assignment for Vanity Fair.

Brainforest is the name of a piece by Gerda Steiner & Jorg Lenzlinger but I think it’s also a great way of describing the style that all of their work has. Steiner was originally a wall painter and Lenzlinger was creating stalactite-like forms when they joined forces in 1997. The amount of detail in their large scale installations is staggering.

It looks like the installation began in 2004, but has appeared in different forms and diffrerent places ever since. The piece is made up of “nerves” that lead to found objects.
