Beem Me Up!

Chef Ara Gureghian has the great fortune of being one of the rare people who can live the dream: Traveling freely with his dog, Spirit, they have been on the road traveling the US by motorcycle for over a year.

Kim Siciliano takes some astonishingly delicious photos of the desserts that she bakes. With her attention to detail and great light, there is no doubt that they taste as good as they look!

Dreamscapes

April 10th, 2008

I stumbled upon some jaw-dropping digital art by a talented woman named Iryna Smolych. Combining photography and true digital manipulation, this freelance artist (who goes by the name Josephine) has found her own window into a magical world.

According to her biography page: “… Sometimes I want to make my own world, fantastic world, world without sufferings and anger, without envy and lie. I want that my world would be full of beauty and dreams, cleanness and love.”

You can see more of her portraits and landscapes here.
