What real people look like - Naked?

Ever wonder what the person seated next to you on the train looks like - naked? How about that suave-looking medic who attended to you during your last visit to the doctor's?
Photographer Sebastian Kempa 's latest project, "Project Naked People", features 30 (and counting) individuals before and after being in their second skin - clothes.

Marina (Student), Harald (Medic), Aileen (Student), are the models for this project.

The default page will show you what these people look like clothed in their normal days, and when you put your mouse over, their real skin will surface.

Superheadz Blackbird Fly - Pink 2 eye camera

Superheadz Blackbird Fly - Mask Raider in Pink

Camera type: 35mm twin-lens reflex camera
Lens: f7 33mm/ photo lens
Shutter speed: 1/125
Aperture: f7, f11
Film type: 35mm

The blackbird, fly is a twin-lens reflex camera: one lens is used to expose the film, while the other is used like a viewfinder. Unlike most twin-lens reflex cameras, which take larger 120 format film, the Blackbird, fly uses 35mm film - which you can process, scan and print at any photo store. The cool thing I like about this camera is that you can opt to remove the mask and allow photos to occupy the entire width of the film, which means, including the side sprocket holes that we usually use photoshop to achieve.

TO-FU OYAKO Collectors' Stamps

Image source from artoyzflickr

I can be quite a child when it comes to To-Fu Oyako (loosely translate as beancurd Parent and child). The infamous tofu figurine from Japan is the only character with the magnitude that can betray my corporate poker face.

In conjunction with Singapore Toy, Games & Comic Convention 2009, Singapore Post organised the To-Fu Oyako MyStamp Design Competition that aims to unleash creativity and innovation in the design arena in May. Winners were announced early this month and results were based on online votes.


The local postal service also came up with 2 limited edition To-Fu Oyako stamps collectors' set that cost from SGD 29.90 - 39.90.

Each stamps is valued at $1.10. The postman set comes with a 2.5 - inch figurine, while the snake and ladder set comes with the classic game pad and unique serial numbering.


TO-FU OYAKO Postman MyStamp set consists of TO-FU OYAKO stamp sheet with five $1.10 stamps and a specially designed 2.5-inch TO-FU OYAKO figure wearing a SingPost uniform, SGD 29.90




TO-FU OYAKO Board Game MyStamp set consist of a TO-FU OYAKO stamp sheet with six $1.10 stamps and a TO-FU OYAKO snake and ladder board game. To make this an even more sought after collectible, each set also comes with a unique serial number to identify itself! SGD 39.90

We are back from our British "Stay-cation"

Hello everyone - anyone? - we are back from our summer holiday in Northumberland. We were blessed with really lovely weather and had a great time. I did a load of hand-applique for my youngest daughter's quilt and I'll try to get a picture of it up today. Hope your summer is going well.

But of course, you will probably love Jalou™. And if I were you, I will never coin this "Stunningly stylish"...

Annual Report that glows-in-the-dark

You won't believe it, but this is the 2008 annual report of Adris Group that was launched last month. Good Ideas glow in the dark is based on the concept that only good ideas can light up the path out of the crisis that economy was experiencing last year.


Adris Group d.d. is made up of two strategic business units: tobacco and tourism. Their business strategy is - ˝to be first, better and different˝.

Very Different indeed!

I wonder if the Shareholders and investors would have to read it under their pillow...
