We got so caught up in the face paint and great runway collection by photographer/publisher/designer designer Andres Aquino that we didn’t realize that Brontosaurs is no longer Brontosaurus. We found out later from M.O.S.T. officials that the proper nomenclature is now Apatosaurus (a-POT-uh-SOAR-us).

Vegetable Delight (Kitchen Series)
Thanks to the customer service department of the Dewitt Barnes & Noble for unveiling for us the newly arrived The Photography of the Modernist Cuisine by Nathan Myhrvold recently.

The macro shots, microscopic shots and high-speed shots are captured in Myhrvold’s lab/kitchen using a variety of cameras puts a new-school, almost Gladwellian spin on previous a previous work by Charles Jones.
