Tilt-Shift Photography: Real Miniature Worlds

Tilt-shift photography creatively creates miniature worlds from real places and people. The angle of the camera changes the perspective making a photograph of a real place seem like a miniature scale model. So interesting and cool, isn't it? Enjoy these photographs below and the cute tilt-shift video at the end. 

Vintage Suitcase Furniture

Lately, photographs of vintage suitcases have been catching my eye. Since I like all things about travel I found this idea of vintage suitcase furniture very appealing. 

If you have old suitcases that you don't use anymore because you rather pull your luggage than carry it, below you'll find great ideas to repurpose those suitcases. I don't have any old suitcases but I would even go buy some at a thrift or vintage store to create some awesome vintage suitcase furniture.

Pinecone Lamp

Is it me or is this pinecone lamp amazing? 

Russian designer Pavel Eekra created this Crimen pinecone lamp which "consists of 56 plates and screws,without an internal frame due to rounding forms plaques form gaps through which light passes. Boards themselves are also slightly transparent, this creates a particular pattern of light from the outside and downward bright light."

Beautiful Photography by Honey Tree

I came across these Honey Tree photographs by Lupen Grainne and thought they were beautiful. They feel very light and the use of filters and the colors create dreamy and peaceful scenarios. 

2011 NFL season kicks off

Although I grew up in Mexico City, I am a big fan of American football. It is a love that definitely came from my family who all love American football and would gather for the Super Bowl. Don't get me wrong, we love soccer too. 

My team are the Dallas Cowboys, I don't know who in my family started that but all I know is I root for them. I do know that "the largest crowd in NFL history was recorded at the American Bowl game at Mexico City August 15, 1994, when 112,376 people attended the Governor's Cup game between the Dallas Cowboys and Houston Oilers." Maybe that has something to do with it. 

Anyway, I'm sharing with you a couple of cool NFL maps to get your study on if you are a wife or girlfriend of an NFL fan. In my case, my sweetheart got more into American Football because of me. I'm excited! Welcome back NFL!

Who's your team? Do you watch the NFL?

Amazing Home Libraries

I still believe in books. I admit I read online but I still love books and flipping through pages and seeing how far along I have read. I still carry a book when I travel, they have always been great airport and airplane companions of mine.
