From My Modern Met:
A few years ago, French photographer Sacha Goldberger found his 91-year-old Hungarian grandmother Frederika feeling lonely and depressed. To cheer her up, he suggested that they shoot a series of outrageous photographs in unusual costumes, poses, and locations. Grandma reluctantly agreed, but once they got rolling, she couldn’t stop smiling.

Stunning Saturn Photos

A magnificent selection of photos from the Cassini mission has been published on the site of the Boston Globe:
nearly a year into its extended mission, called Cassini Equinox (after
its initial 4-year mission ended in June, 2008). The spacecraft
continues to operate in good health, returning amazing images of
Saturn, its ring system and moons, and providing new information and
science on a regular basis. The mission’s name, “Equinox” comes from
the upcoming Saturnian equinox in August, 2009, when its equator (and
rings) will point directly toward the Sun. The Equinox mission runs
through September of 2010, with the possibility of further extensions
beyond that. Collected here are 24 more intriguing images from our
ringed neighbor.”

Food Packaging Versus Reality
Ever wondered what frozen meals look like when you actually cook them? A German site by the name of Pundo3000 certainly has. Over 100 different food products were bought, photographed (and yes even consumed), all in the name of shedding some truth in packaging. Bon appetit.
