Story of Flight by Stephen Woolford
From the ancient myth of Icarus to the USSR s and America s space race, man has always dreamed of soaring to the skies. This gorgeously illustrated book presents a global history of flight, including kite flying in China in the sixth century; da Vinci s prescient designs for flying machines; the Montgolfiers hot-air balloons; the pioneering work of the Wright brothers, Alcock, and Bleriot; and the subsequent rapid development of aviation technology that took us to the moon and beyond. Containing facsimiles of journal, diary, and notebook entries, plus newspaper accounts heralding aviation breakthroughs and blueprints of revolutionary new aircraft, The Story of Flight tells a fascinating story, filled with daring, danger, and magical success.
Carl Warner is a London-based photographer who works mainly in advertising. Over the past few years, he has been making landscapes out of food and photographing them; and he has been commissioned by many advertising agencies throughout Europe to produce custom pieces for clients in the food industry. He photographs his scenes in layers-from foreground to background and sky-as the process is so time consuming, the food quickly wilts under the lights. He then compiles the layers in post-production to achieve the final image. His foodscapes take up to three days to build and photograph and then a couple more days to retouch and fine-tune. The results, both edible and incredible, have brought him international acclaim.
