Cai Guo-Qiang is a very well known Chinese artist, I guess you know his installation Head On. Beside huge installations, he also makes these works with gunpowder. He has a certain amout of control about the outcome of the explosions, but a large part is uncertain. I think this is quite exiting.
These pieces remind me of Rosemarie Fiore, her work is just a little more colorful.

“One Night In Beijing” is a video shot by Dan Chung, a photographer of the Guardian. He bought a Canon EOS5DmkII DSLR camera, to use it only as a video camera with Nikon and Zeiss lenses. Between picking up the camera at a camera store and editing, were only 12 hours. The result is stunning!
Most of the recent DSLR camera can record video, but you have to remember that you’ll probably have to focus manually. And yes, good lenses are important too and aren’t really cheap. I’m curious to see where this all will be heading. Will the body shape of DSLR cameras change toward those of video cameras. or the other way around?
As we look a most photos on screens, there is no reason any more for them to be stills only. I really enjoy watching short portrait clips, they can tell you more about a person than a still. Of course, a good photo will always have its value.
Make sure to check out some of Dan’s other videos.
Damn, I would like to have a DSLR, is there anyone at Nikon or Canon up for a barter deal?
