ART OF DECEPTIVE PHOTOGRAPHY!


Chinese photographic artist Li Wei creates images of himself and his friends being thrown off buildings, dangling from bridges and hanging off cars, all in the name of art.
 
Li's photos can take up to six months to set up and involve huge crews  organizing props such as smoke, mirrors, wires and cranes. After the photographs are taken the father of one removes traces of the wires with a computer. 
   
Li, from Beijing, said: "One of the most difficult and expensive shots was where myself and 12 people were flying behind a car and we had to use a lot of cranes to keep us all suspended" 



"My favourite photograph features my daughter holding some helium balloons and I am standing on them in mid air. It was lovely working with my daughter and the photo represents my feelings," he said




The 40 year old has been producing works since 1999 and has made tens of thousands of pounds from his photographs. He said: "I like to achieve the impossible. I have hurtled to the earth like a meteorite and flown through the air. My pictures show the unstable, there's a lot of danger and I love to create that feeling in my work"


"Some of the images can be really complex and take up to six months to put together whereas some are very simple and can be planned in a sketch and shot immediately"




"The images can involve me getting battered around a bit - most times I will pick up an injury from the stunt wires, one time I got my head stuck in a pane of smashed glass"


"It can be dangerous, but I like to ride that line, to me it's worth it to defy gravity or fly through the air," he said


A Pause for Humanity 3




Live at the High Place 1




On the Surface of the Earth




His work has been featured on popular wesites




Don't try this at home, particularly if - like performance artist Li Wei - you live in a tower block




These amazing photographs are not montages and do not involve any computer trickery




he relies on his own acrobatic skills, honed from years of martial arts training




The pictures feature Wei suspended in a string of impossible situations at locations across Hong Kong and China




...and floating mid-air with a bunch of friends perched on his back




"Sometimes I am in real danger - I have to hang myself high with steel wires and people do get a little worried for me - but I am fine"


We can't help wondering whether it might not be easier - and safer - to use Photoshop

A man was caught by the police

A man was caught by the police: How did u kill 50 people ?

Man : I was driving my Car at 40mph, but when I tried to stop I found that I have no breaks, I saw 2 men walking in the street and a wedding going on at the other side of the street, Who should I hit ?

The police man: Ofcourse the 2 men, less damage.

Man  : Thats what I thought to myself, but when I did it, I hit only one and the other ran to the wedding, So I Went After him.
 

Read this genius engineers story!


7 Engineers and 7 Doctors are going from PUNE to Mumbai. So both groups gather at Pune Station. 

Both groups are desperately trying to prove their superiority . 

SCENE 1 (PUNE- MUMBAI): 
------------ --------- --------- -------- ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- - - 
7 engineers take only 1 Ticket and 7 doctors buy all 7 tickets.. 
Doctors are desperately waiting for TC to come...... 
When TC arrives, 
All 7 Engineers get in one toilet so when TC knocks, one hand come out with the ticket and the TC goes 

Away..... 

NOW on return Journey All of them don't get a direct Train to PUNE. So they all decide to take a Passenger till Lonavala, from there they can easily get a LOCAL to PUNE 


SCENE 2 (MUMBAI - LONAVALA): 
------------ --------- --------- ---- ------------ --------- --------- ------------ - ----------- 
Doctors decided, "this time we will prove that we too are equal"....All 7 Doctors take 1 Ticket, Engineers don't buy any ticket at all!!!!!.. 

TC arrives.... 

ALL DOCTORS IN ONE TOILET.ALL ENGINEERS IN THE OPPOSITE. 

One engineer gets out and knocks the door of Doctors toilet, One hand comes with the tickets, he takes the 
ticket and comes in Engg. Bathroom... TC DRIVES out ALL the doctors from the toilet and they are heavily fined. 


SCENE 3 ( LONAVALA): ! 
------------ --------- --------- --------- -- 
SO now both the group r on LONAVALA station. Doctors planning their move for last chance, they board the local to Pune. 

This time doctors decide that they will play the same (1 ticket) trick. 

ALL Doctors take 1 tickets...Engineers BUY all 7 tickets this time... 
SO TC Comes.. All Engineers showed their tickets ............ ....... ..... 

Doctors are still searching for toilet in the LOCAL train....... .... 


Conclusion: Technically intelligent people are geniuses, don't mess with Engineers.

DOG LOGIC!


The reason a dog has so many friends is that he wags his tail instead of his tongue. 


There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face. 


A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself. 



The average dog is a nicer person than the average person. 


Dogs love their friends & bite their enemies, quite unlike people. 


Anybody who doesn't know what soap tastes like never washed a dog. 


If your dog is fat, you aren't getting enough exercise 



My dog is worried about the economy because Alpo is up to $3 a can.  That's almost $21 in dog money. 



Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea. 



If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you; that is the principal difference between a dog and a man. 


Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole. 


If you think dogs can't count, try putting three dog biscuits in your pocket and then give him only two of them.
