NYC-based artist Danny Evans has a hilarious project titled Planet Hiltron in which he performs “make unders” on celebrities. Rather than use Photoshop to achieve unattainable beauty, Evans does the reverse, using his ‘Shop skills to transform high-powered stars into rather ordinary-looking people. You can find the entire gallery of Celebrity Make Unders over on [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/49/71/50/497150.jpeg[/IMG]

Of the 5 people to take over the job of Yahoo! CEO over the last 5 years, Marissa Mayer is making the biggest splash. Maybe it’s because she’s six months pregnant and firing up the “working moms” debate, maybe it’s because she’s worth an approximate $300-million, or maybe it’s because she was Google’s 20th employee [...][IMG]http://images.newschoolers.com/images/17/00/49/71/18/497118.jpeg[/IMG]

Another M4/3 camera has joined the fray today from Panasonic.  Those hoping to see some modicum of weather sealing to match the new Lumix X lenses will be disappointed though.  So it remains then that if you shoot Panasonic you can only weather seal the lens and not the camera which is very odd.  I [...] Support the site If you enjoyed reading this post and found it helpful, please consider supporting the site by making your next photography purchase by clicking through one of the links below.
