Photoshop umbrella composite

Click picture for 1600×1200. It's a Photoshop composite, a web find by an unattributed artist. The umbrellas remind me of a scene from an Alfred Hitchcock movie called Foreign Correspondent (1940). Though the film is in black and white and made almost 66 years ago the cinema cinematography is amazing.
Came across this blog today that features Photoshop Tutorials, aptly named Photoshop Tutorials Blog

Jack Burkman is one sweet guy,

You know, Joe, the one thing I would ask — let's make some news tonight, here. Nobody is asking the basic, factual question. The focus is on Ann Coulter, and I certainly support everything she's saying. But, let's have some questions about these widows, these witches of New Brunswick. Is it the case that they hired PR agents in the days after? How long did they wait? Did they wait two days? Did they wait a month? I think it was done in the first week, and I think there's evidence that they had lawyers, PR people, literary agents, all of these folks telling them to go out there.

And apparently Jack likes to have a good time too, Republican Strategists, Sex, MySpace, and Pride: A Heartwarming DC Tale

The initial proposition: afterward, we got a snazzy hotel room at the mayflower downtown. on the way over there, this really hot business man in a pinstriped suit walked past me, said hello, and doubled back. he asked me my name and introduced himself (jack burkman, government relations strategies), asked where i went to school, etc, gave me his card, and asked me to call him. i later texted him and never could get rid of him again. he thought he talked to me on the phone several times, but he never did. i always made kat or kristin be me. he told kristin about how he really enjoyed my outfit (TITS GALORE) and that i was beautiful, etc. by the end of the night (5 am or so), he was offering to pay for our room and give us a thousand dollars if two of us would fuck him. oh, jack burkman. his card is my DC souvenir.

Maybe this was all part of Jack's strategy to reach out to women and the gay community and let them know he cared.

Looming energy crisis requires new 'Manhattan Project': US scientists

Soaring global demand for energy and rapid depletion of resources need to be addressed by a long-term government-led project similar to the World War II-era effort to develop an atomic bomb, University of Southern California scientist Anupam Madhukar said at the annual National Energy Symposium on Thursday.

"A sense of urgency is needed like the Manhattan Project or sending a man to the moon," Madhukar said.
