French photographer captures the beauty of China's rice paddies


Seeing as how I'm writing this while I sit with a view of an expansive rice field in Batangas, I'd thought I'd share with you some of Thierry Bornier's breathtaking photos that highlight the magnificence of China's man-made rice paddies. 

   Much of his work resembles intricate paintings rather than landscapes. Published several times in the National Geographic, the Frenchman always waits for the perfect lighting condition and the ideal cloud formation to make his pictures appear more surreal.

   "What is most important in landscape photography is the light," Thierry said. "Weather is king, but he is also a magician and can show you something amazing and beautiful when you least expect it. You must be there to capture it."

   Thierry ended up taking photos of Chinese terrain after spending seven years in the finance industry. Entirely self-taught as a photographer, he travelled to China and found a country of so many unique regions and stunning scenery. Since then, he has made a commitment to explore his artistic side in the Far East.

Italy's True Movie Poster King

What you see here is the hand-crafted magic of Renato Casaro, the late Italian designer who practically defined an era of cinematic cool. His work wasn't just advertising; it was art. Casaro's journey into becoming one of the most recognizable poster artists wasn't by chance; it was a pure obsession. As a kid, he was fascinated by billboards, trying to mimic the styles of Norman Rockwell and Angelo Cesselon. Think of a teen so determined that he was drawing right onto the walls of a local cinema just to snag a few free tickets. Casaro created posters for a lot of Spaghetti Westerns. His big break came with A Fistful of Dollars in 1964. The movie starred Clint Eastwood and was directed by Sergio Leone. The poster didn’t just promote the film; it helped make it a global hit. Naturally, Leone came calling again, commissioning posters for My Name Is Nobody (1973) and the epic crime saga, Once Upon a Time in America (1984). A Casaro poster is easy to spot because of his uniqu...

Hand-Painted Bags That Tell Your Story

  Most bags today look like they were produced by bored machines in a dimly lit factory. You can walk into any mall and find rows of identical leather (or “leather-like”) things, all claiming to express individuality. Ironically, though, they all look exactly the same. Then there’s Abby Verano . Her bags are not mere accessories; they’re declarations. Each one is hand-painted, touched by an actual human being with an imagination. Abby doesn’t just sell you something to put your wallet and smartphone in; she sells you a story, a vision, a little revolt against the tyranny of sameness.  Her tools are simple — brushes, acrylic paint, bags made from pandan leaves, and creativity. No duplicates. No clones. Just one-of-a-kind art pieces you can carry.
