Star Wars characters, actors and their age

With Helloween approaching, it proves that more and more people are attracted to the "Daddy's lil' monster" T-shirt made iconic by DC Comics' Harley Quinn character. What is interesting is that the logo is actually copyrighted,...

Drilling a hole in the iPhone 7 - seriously, how ignorant can you be?

Luci CJ @LuciCJ (197) • Cluj-Napoca, Romania 12 Oct 16

A couple of weeks ago, a prankster released a Youtube video showing how you can make a headphone jack for the iPhone 7: take a drilling machine and bore a hole in the lower-left side of the phone. The video was obviously a spoof,...

Photography = art, or bragging about cameras?

Luci CJ @LuciCJ (197) • Cluj-Napoca, Romania 5 Oct 16

It often happens that the most frequent discussions among photographers don't concern composition styles, tricks for better images or elements of art critique, but their sole topic is gear. And when I mean gear, I mean investing...

Why are ladies' and men footwear so different?

Luci CJ @LuciCJ (197) • Cluj-Napoca, Romania 15 Sep 16

I'm wondering why are shoes made for women and men so different in design and shape? If a man appears at a business event or at a wedding in sandals (and I don't mean flip-flops) he is considered to be inappropriately dressed, or...

Luci CJ @LuciCJ (197) • Cluj-Napoca, Romania 12 Sep 16

After months of waiting and endless speculations, the iPhone 7 is available for preorder in almost every part of the world. What intrigues me is why on Earth did they have to abandon the industry-standard 3.5mm audio...

Photo - request for critique

Luci CJ @LuciCJ (197) • Cluj-Napoca, Romania 31 Aug 16

I took this photo a few years ago, but I still find it attractive. What would you think of it? Does it convey sentiments of lust, innermost desire, passion, or something totally different?
