Hacked iPad 2 smart cover fits first iPad
If there was one thing that made me jealous when watching Apple’s iPad 2 unveiling event last month, it was the really sweet Smart Cover. Not only because it is essentially a spacesuit for the iPad 2, but the cool use of the magnets to turn the tablet on and it’s useful flexibility (though not so much the luminous colors). Imagine my disgust then when I discovered it was only for the new slimmer …

Les groupes de danse sont souvent les jeunes d’un village et cela leur permet de s’acheter le nécessaire pour leur activité durant l’année. Mais depuis quelque temps l’argent est vite délapidé des caisses pour acheter de l’alcool…

Times Square is a major intersection in Manhattan, a borough of New York City, at the junction of Broadway and Seventh Avenue and stretching from West 42nd to West 47th Streets. The Times Square area consists of the blocks between Sixth and Eighth Avenues from east to west, and West 40th and West 53rd Streets from south to north, making up the western part of the commercial area of Midtown Manhattan.

Formerly named Longacre Square, Times Square was renamed after the Times Building (now One Times Square) in April 1904. Times Square, sometimes known as the "Crossroads of the World," has achieved the status of an iconic world landmark and has become a symbol of New York City. Times Square is principally defined by its spectaculars, animated, digital advertisements.

The intersection of Broadway and 42nd Street, at the south-east corner of Times Square, is the Eastern Terminus of the Lincoln Highway, the first road across the United States of America.

A very long time…

F/ 2,7 – iso 80 – 30 sec
Ce que j’aime dans cette photo, ce n’est pas spécialement le cadre, mais c’est la technique de la longue pose. Je trouve que cela te permet de sortir du cadre "j’attrape l’instant t". La longue pose est un autre regard sur le temps qui passe, elle permet de te montrer l’origine des choses vers un point d’arrêt qui est le présent, elle te montre le chemin parcouru par des objets. C’est ça qui est fort intéressant dans la longue pose, c’est qu’elle nous dégage de tout les faits préétablies en enregistrant le mouvement…
