5 hours for Shooting a single photo of Salvador Dali!
This photo of Salvador Dali has taken 5 hours to shoot. The photographer, Philippe Halsman had in total 27 unsuccessful attempts before he could finally mange ti capture the favorite moment.
For each try, Salvador Dali had to jump, three assistants throwing the cats, another one splashing the water and Halsman's wife holding the chair... and all these had to execute simultaneously.
And the end and after five hours of trying, he could manage to capture his favorite photo and create this fantastic masterpiece.

Transparent Phone,Fantastic Design!!
Here’s an official concept phone this time, one created by Aston Martin and Mobiado, the famous luxury gadget designer. What you can see below is a transparent phone running Android and these are all renders, right now. Dubbed the CTP002, this phone is a big sapphire glass surface with titanium edges.
The glass is in fact a capacitive touchscreen and Mobiado hopes to also implement a SIM card slot, a chipset and a battery on this gizmo. Mobiado CTP022 is supposed to connect to the car and its display, with the latter showing a map of local venues and friends from the Foursquare network. Turns out that the camera in your car can snap a photo and post it on Facebook letting everyone know you own an Aston Martin.

100,000 toothpicks, and 35 years: An incredible kinetic sculpture of San Francisco
Artist Scott Weaver begun work on this insanely complex kinetic sculpture, Rolling through the Bay 35 years ago and continues to modify and expand even today. The elaborate sculpture is comprised of multiple “tours” that move pingpong balls through neighborhoods, historical locations, and iconic symbols of San Francisco, all recreated with a little glue, some toothpicks, and an incredible amount of ingenuity. He admits in the video that there are several toothpick sculptures even larger than his, but none has the unique kinetic components he’s constructed. Via his website Weaver estimates he’s spent over 3,000 hours on the project, and the toothpicks have been sourced from around the world:
I have used different brands of toothpicks depending on what I am building. I also have many friends and family members that collect toothpicks in their travels for me. For example, some of the trees in Golden Gate Park are made from toothpicks from Kenya, Morocco, Spain, West Germany and Italy. The heart inside the Palace of Fine Arts is made out of toothpicks people threw at our wedding.
