All I want for Christmas...

just the car, please.  You can keep Alice on the golf course.

Today I'm doing he trees first-  Christmas is right around the corner so this is about as festive as it gets.

 New Mexico-based photographer Wes Naman has created Scotch Tape, an ongoing portrait series of people’s faces contorted by invisible tape.

You may already be familiar with Rock Balancing, the art of balancing rocks on top of one another without resorting to any tricks, such as wires, adhesives, or hidden supports. But have you ever heard of bread balancing? We hadn’t, but now that we have, we think it’s pretty awesome.

Conceived by Barcelona-based graphic designers Ana Dominguez and Omar Sosa for Apartamento magazine; the series was shot by photographer Nacho Alegre.
