Here is an interesting article for the Twitter people. Certainly following other photographers is interesting.

Possibly the coolest note written for being away from school is my favourite from this crop of great shots.

20 Extraordinary Photo Manipulations
Some of these shots look farmiliar, but some are new, so check them out.
The art of photo manipulation is the process of making changes to your photographs, usually in a way that takes them away from reality. Photo manipulations are used everywhere, but can mainly be seen in advertising, where companies try to capture the public’s attention with manipulated scenes featuring their latest products.
