It’s not that easy to recreate photographs in paintings so that it will be difficult to point out the original picture and its painted copy. Norman Rockwell created real masterpieces in painting photos and spiced them up a little.

Looking at these photos of New Zealand after Saturday’s earthquake, I get chills down my spine. It must be horrible to live in Christchurch where people got approximately 300 temblors in just 5 days. Almost 100,000 houses were damaged. It’s a miracle that no one has been reported dead as the earthquake magnitude was 7.1. Local authorities announced a state of civil emergency for the next week.

New Zealand is located in the area where 2 tectonic plates collide. Every year the country faces more than 10,000 earthquakes, but only less than 10 leave such damage.

Time to leave. This is the name of this collection of amazing photos. I would call it “Pigeon Clock”. What about you?

Englishmen know how to night out and get the most pleasure on Fridays and weekends. These photos show ordinary night life in England.

These photos were taken of celebrities before and after they had plastic surgery. The after photos of most of them are disastrous. Although plastic surgery has worked wonders for some celebrities, for others it has to be a living nightmare.

These yearbook photos of celebrities prove that they age just like everyone else. For some, age made them better looking, for others not so much. All of this means that celebrities are human beings just like the rest of us.

Even though this collection of photos by Li Wei has some oldies of the day, it’s still awesome.

Amazing photographs that capture motion we can’t notice in reality. Photographer Harold Edgerton knows perfectly well how to extend our awareness of time.

The amazing photos were taken by Dr. Vaggelis Fragiadakis who is an amateur photographer, who was originally from Greece. The people in the black and white photos are mainly down on their luck. You can practically tell their life story by looking at their wrinkled faces.

These are some rare photos of your favorite Star Wars characters. What makes them rare is that some of them were taken during production of the movie, while others were taken of the characters during breaks in between takes and yet others were taken off set. They are indeed rare Star Wars photos.

These are some aerial photos of some very interesting places from all over the world. From the mountains to a cemetery and from the city to the country, these photos provide a very different view of these places. They are indeed some unique photos.

Remember the post of yesterday about Jenny, a girl who quitted her job in a creative, original and daring way?

Well, as some of you mentioned it in the comments, it was nothing but another Internet hoax.

As entertaining as it was, nothing was true, the girl is just a Californian actress (at least, that's what she says..) named Elyse Porterfield.

I’ll let you discover more pics of her and her explanations in the following…

Here’s how this young girl quit her job sending these pictures to all her co-workers an her boss, of course. Bravo Jenny!

There is no doubt that retouching a photo of a celebrity will make them much more attractive. As the photos in this post show, many celebrities are not as perfect as we would like to believe and Photoshop can defiantly improve their looks.

These are the yearbook photos of some very famous US politicians. Some look much the same as they do today, others are not even recognizable. In this case there is no distinction of party lines.

Bill Clinton

These are spiritual photographs taken by William Hope (1863-1933). I wonder if they are for real. What if he simply used the very first version of Photoshop?

If you can’t translate something from one language into another one, better use the original phrase. Otherwise you will look hilarious just like these Asians who are wearing Engrish t-shirts.
