Our pal Kai at DigitalRev put a Canon 7D through a durability test, and in the end, IT STILL WORKED!
Here’s a list of what the camera goes through: getting hit by a car, getting thrown down a flight of stairs in a wheelchair, getting frozen, soaked, shot at, put in the oven, and set on fire.

Yesterday I was biking past this ruin and I saw a lot of shirtless dudes, a few tripods and whatnot
I immediately thought, oh jeez, dumb boybandish photo shoot. Let me bike away faster.
Just now I see the result of this “dumb” photo shoot on Facebook. He calls it Steelwool Photography. And this is his first attempt,
Too awesome for words. Mind you, the photographer is 15 years old.
15.
Suddenly I feel a strong urge to go curl up fetal position in a corner about my life choices.

Leica opened their first store in the U.S. last week, and The Verge shot photos at the grand opening.
We’d like to visit, but for fear of drooling all over the display cases, we’ll admire from afar.

Turner on his work:
The name is taken from the Latin term for ‘greed’ and the bait this mechanized angler fish is using is a coin from 1799. Heightening my enjoyment of the subject (greed) it’s a commission for a German financier!

Street Art of the Day: Max Zorn, a self-taught Dutch street artist, uses only translucent packing tape and a mere scalpel to create intricately layered portraits on Plexiglas, which he then hangs on public street lights — you know, for best viewing.
To promote his street art, Zorn has launched a project called Let’s Stick Together,which lets fans sign up to receive their own pieces of tape art, provided they promise to post them publicly.
His gallery can be found here.
