Clever Photo Frames From Umbra

I've been looking around for some interesting photo frames lately and have found so many in Umbra's collection. I particularly like the ones I've featured here.

From top to bottom:
Doodlebook: a frame with an 80 page sketch pad built in, a photo mobile, a clever crossword frame with a dry erase surface and marker, snap frames that make any photograph look like a polaroid picture, a pretty white daisy multi-frame, a moshi natural wood collage multi-frame and a classic and beautiful black dangling chandelier frame for three photos.

Car License Plate Photo Album

This car license plate photo album from bouf.com makes me happy. I like to see people thinking creatively when it comes to reusing old items and this is such a fun idea! Sturdy too, I bet.

30 Dumb Inventions

This photo gallery of 30 Dumb Inventions from Life magazine has tons of interesting and sometimes hilarious pictures. Definitely worth a look!

Stunning Work by Erik Johansson

I discovered the amazing photo manipulations of Erik Johansson today via Like Cool and I couldn't be happier! I'm in awe! I love the interesting subjects and flawless execution of these masterpieces. Below you'll find the pieces titled "Fishy Island" and "Melting Point".
I encourage you to check out the rest of his work at Allteringet.com!

Fallen Princesses by Dina Goldstein

Fallen Princesses is an irresistable set of photos that feature classic fairytale characters by Dina Goldstein. You can see by the pictures below that these princesses don't always end up with happily ever afters but all of the photos are intriguing and beautiful. Check out the Fallen Princesses gallery here!

Lightning

I love storms and lately I've been totally enamored with big, crashing, fierce thunder and lightning storms. We don't get them often though this spring we've had a whole lot of rainy days.
I like the dark blue mornings after a particularly wet night a whole lot.
Anyhow, the other day I came across this post on Dark Roasted Blend with an amazing collection of lightning strike photos! I thought they were incredibly cool. Enjoy!

Extravagant Cakes

This Royal Cakes post on Zuza Fun was really interesting to me and I thought it would be a good follow-up to the post about the Gold Bullion Wireless Mouse. Some of these cakes are taller than I am!

Beyond Light by Albert Koetsier

Below are just a couple of examples of the amazing X-rayography art that can be found on Albert Koetsier's website, Beyond Light. His process includes more than just taking x-rays of beautiful flowers and other things found in nature and it's really pretty fascinating (you can read about it here).

Rune Guneriussen Photography

Rune Guneriussen takes amazing photographs that invite the viewer to see everyday objects in a new light. In the photos below you see lamps, globes and telephones immersed in a natural and beautiful environment. These photos are all from the singles gallery but I recommend that you look at all of the other collections too. It's well worth it!

Spider Webs

Dark Roasted Blend has a fascinating article about spider webs that's packed with extraordinary photos! I must warn you though that if spiders make you a little queasy, some of the photos of the giant communal webs might make you a little green!
The photos below are two of my favorites from the article and the images lead to the flickr pages of their photographers.
