How to appreciate cloud photos

Above is a photo of a beautiful cloud formation. Notice all the different types, colors, shades, shapes, textures of clouds.

How to appreciate cloud photos - Art Appreciation

First of all there are no rules on how to enjoy cloud photos. However, if you find cloud photos boring one of two things may be happening.

1. You may be correct and the photo may be a boring photo. The photo may be out of focus or the cloud itself may be boring. For example, if you zoom in too much into a cloud, then you will land up with just a white or gray photo slide. Just like if you have a blank piece of white paper and someone says it's a photo of a snow blizzard.


2. You may not be in the right state of mind. You have to consider the scale of clouds to fully appreciate them. Clouds are measured in miles and they are typically bigger than anything created by humans (skyscrapers, luxury cruise ships, oil tankers, sports stadiums, etc.). In addition, there is much detail in most of my cloud photos that you can't pick up in a quick glance. I suggest you sit down with a cup of coffee or your favorite snack before you start viewing my cloud photography artwork.

How To Make a Cockroach Trap

Why are cockroaches so disgusting?

Why do they give us such a visceral reaction when we catch one in the bathtub or scampering across the kitchen floor? I believe it is a safety mechanism that we humans have to detect potentially dangerous creatures. Sure roaches are not poisonous, but they often carry harmful germs that could be potentially hazardous to our health. Therefore, like our aversion to snakes and spiders, we are probably programmed to be cautious of the hideous cockroach. Now that we agree that it is worthwhile to get rid of roaches, let me show you a way to round them up. My trap doesn't kill the pests, so what you do with them is up to you. Some people fry them up and munch them down. See fried roaches or basket of fried roaches. Pretty disgusting huh?

If you are under 18 please ask your parents if it's ok to make a roach trap.

Ok, let's get started on our Cockroach Trap. Here's what you need:

Step 1: Find a large tin can or plastic bucket.

Step 2: Get a paper towel and buff the inside wall so that it is nice and smooth.

Step 3: Find a jar of Vaseline or petroleum jelly. No jokes about the petroleum jelly please. Place a light coat of petroleum jelly on the inside wall of the container.

Step 4: Find some dog food or cat food. Place a few pieces of pet food in the center of the container.

Step 5: Find a piece of cardboard. Place one end of the cardboard on the rim of the container and the other on the ground to create a ramp for your roach trap. The roaches will climb up the cardboard ramp and fall into your trap.

Watch the amazing cockroach climb up the ramp!

This is what you call "Cockroach Heaven" as he has just landed on enough food to feed an army of cockroaches. It's like winning 100 free cheeseburgers for the average American.

Step 6: Place your trap in a place known to have cockroach traffic.

Step 7: Go to bed and let your cockroach trap handle the night shift.

Step 8: Check your trap to see how many roaches you caught last night.

If you have an idea for a new type of cockroach trap, please leave us a comment.

Update: I found that using a reflective tin can had some interesting results. It seems that the reflectiveness or shininess of the tin can confused or disorientated the cockroach. They didn't even attempt to scale the walls of the can. Therefore, I'm not sure if the petroleum jelly was even necessary.

Giant Robot Stands Over Tokyo

Giant Robot Stands Over Tokyo

In most parts of the world they build statues made of metal or stone. In Japan they build giant plastic toys. Truth be told, this Robot is actually constructed of an advanced aluminum alloy material. Even if it was made of plastic it would still require a metal frame.

The Mighty Eagle soars on July 4 2009

In honor of the Fourth of July, Rj55 is releasing this beautiful photo of the mighty U.S. Eagle taken from the Great Seal of the United States. When you look closely at the art work, you will notice that the surface appears "spongy". I thought that it might be some sort of tapestry or maybe a woven carpet. I was surprised to find out that the photo was actually taken from the back of a Dollar Bill. To fully appreciate this beautiful piece of photography/artwork, you have to see the high resolution version of the Dollar Eagle, which you can use for wallpaper on the background of your computer screen.

Please feel free to use this photograph/artwork with your own blog, news letter, website, etc. All we ask is that you DO NOT erase the Rj55 from our artwork.

Happy Fourth of July!

The Eye of the Pyramid on the Dollar Bill

The eye of the pyramid on the Dollar Bill

They say art work is supposed to catch your attention and capture your imagination. Well, I think Eye of the Pyramid does both. I find it interesting that they use the original pyramid from the dollar and combine it with a photo realistic background. It makes the pyramid look like it's sitting in a 3D landscape. I think that the "all-seeing-eye" looks more majestic and more god like than it does on the original Dollar. Please take a look and tell us what you think of this piece of art.

Update: The original version of this piece of art work was done in color. If you want to see the color version please make a bookmark to Rj55.com/dollar and then check back on July 4, 2009. We wanted to save that as a little surprise to celebrate the Fourth of July.

Flower Vomit

Above is a piece of artwork titled "Flower Vomit". It is a photo of a flower throwing up a flower.

Flower Vomit
The image is called "Flower Vomit" and a quick glance is all it takes to explain the title. The artist tells me that he had noticed these flower pods looked like little mouths opening wide to spit out a giant flower. Then he said, I guess it's kind of like a flower pod throwing up a flower. That is when he decided to title his work Flower Vomit. It may sound gross, but it's really actually quite beautiful.

As the Dollar falls, the Dollar General sky rockets!

Above is a close up photo of the United States One Dollar Bill. Feel free to use it with your own blog or website.

As the Dollar falls, the Dollar General sky rockets!

As I was researching news on the US Dollar I noticed something quite peculiar. There was news about the Dollar falling and below those stories was news about something I never considered. It turns out that one of those so called "Dollar Stores" was doing quite the opposite of what was happening to the US currency. It's called the Dollar General and it's doing quite well. In fact, you could say that it was sky rocketing while the dollar was plummeting, which makes sense when you think about it for a moment. Of course the Dollar Stores are going to do well when money gets tighter and the US population tries to stretch every dollar as far as they can.
