The Door to Hell


Beautiful and creepy, this huge hole in the ground situated in Darvaz, Uzbekistan was once the site of a gas drilling site where 35 years ago, geologists discovered a massive cavern filled with an unknown gas. It was claimed that since there was a danger of poisonous gases in the cavern, the drilling company decided to ignite the gases before proceeding with the drilling.

The hole has been burning ever since.

Armed America


A collection of photographs of Americans and their guns.

One such owner, Dan says: "I consider the ownership of arms not only a right, but the duty of a free people to themselves and future generations."

For someone who only gets to play with guns once a year for a few days in camp, a gun-owning American’s passion for his weapon is kind of hard to understand.

3D Rendering Of Mario Is Creepy!


A life-like Mario, of the Super Mario Bros. rendered in 3D using Photoshop CS2. That is one creey / horny looking plumber!

The artist is thinking of doing a Homer Simpson too. That’ll be interesting!

Fisher-Price Kid-Tough Digital Camera


This camera is not only cute, it’s tough. You know how terrible kids can be with their toys. You buy it one day and before the day is out, it’s broken into a million pieces.

It has a 1.3MP sensor (which is better than some cameraphones) and a 64MB storage space.

The time of the Poloroid camera and film is coming to an end. All that flapping the newly ejected Poloroid picture from the camera will soon be a thing of the past as the company has stopped production of the Poloroid film for good.

Giant Telephoto Lens


They call it "the mother of all telephotos". The Canon 1200/5.6L USM super-telephoto lens is a rare beast with "more than twelve, less than twenty" of them sold. Why? It costs US$99,000, that’s why!

If you wanna clearly photograph something from a couple of miles away this would be the ideal lens for you. If you can afford it.

Iguana Posing Like Rock Star


Very cute pictures of iguanas, which I think are kind of creepy, being made to pose like a human, lounging or holding a guitar.

New! Sony Alpha 300 and 350


I just love the swivel LCD screen on SLRs. These two new cameras should appeal for the first-time SLR user, a mid-range camera between the 200 and the fantastic 700.
