Amazing Origami Sculptures
Lytro the end to unfocused Photos
Ever since I started taking photos I occassionally experienced having the perfect shot ruined due to focusing issues.

Egg House
Innovation has driven technology to higher heights and has greatly increased the standard of living in our lives. It has made a lot of things easier and cheaper. In the the recent years architects have been searching for the solution for a eco friendly sustainable home. Unfortunately most current solutions have a very high cost which usually deters a lot of people.
One architect in china has found a way to design a house stripped down to its bare necessities. Although after reviewing some of the photos I have some concerns about where he would go to take a bath or leak. I think his design of the egg house is one step closer to providing some form of shelter to a lot of homeless people.

Exploring Action Scripts in Photoshop
When I take a shot at a scene I usually have something in mind that I want to achieve during post processing, the problem is I really don't have enough time to process each and every one of these photos.
Its a good thing that there are a lot of action scripts in photoshop to help me with the post processing. Even though I use the action scripts to make my work much faster I still do a lot of tweaking to achieve the end result that I want.
Here are some of the photos that I processed with the aid of action scripts
