I was told recently that the world is going to choose a new set of wonders of the world. It does make sense since most of the 7 wonders known to us don’t exist anymore. The only standing wonder is the Giza Pyramids.

So now you know. Type your way to http://www.new7wonders.com/. Register an account and choose your favourite 7 from 21 new wonders candidates.

Hans Nyberg’s Panoramas.dk has featured my VR photo of a demonstration against harassment of women in the streets of Cairo. I’ve always believed in the huge potential of VR photography in the field of photojournalism (or as I call it, VR photojournalism). Especially if the photos puts a light on social issues that do not get local media attention.

I appreciate the recognition and will continue using VR photography to show things that matter.

Kozy and Dan drew another panoramic illustration of silly monsters, birds, robots and themselves being naughty. It was done for the Spank the Monkey show at the Baltic Center.

And they didn’t forget to put it out as a VR image so we can look around and enjoy this bizarre battle. Thank you Kozyndan !

I had never heard of the mirrored statue at Chicago’s Millenium Park until today. In the past, Park security did not even allow anyone with a decent camera and tripod to photograph it. But now things have changed.

Tom Lassiter took his professional VR photography equipment to photograph the Bean. You can stand infront of it or underneath it.

The people of Digitally Distributed Environment made this very interesting video by converting photographic 360-degree panoramic images into a video 3D environment. I’m not familiar on how to do this since I haven’t played with any 3D remodelling software. If you know how to do it or know of an online tutorial, please share it with me.

Roger and Julia are inviting you to have dinner with them, everyday. You don’t have to get them anything but you could leave them a comment.

Did you get it? Virgin + VR = VRgin …. sorry.. I’ll get back to the topic in hand. Yes, Andras Frenyo miraculously managed to get a PRESS pass and took 360˚ VR photos at this year’s Virgin music festival.

Guardian Unlimited has featured the Belgian VR photographer’s captivating images taken when he followed MSF doctors over two weeks around Mozambique as they went on home visits to Aids/HIV patients.

I had featured his website ‘Walking With Aids’ before and have worked with him on Panoramas of World War 2 Landmarks and The War to End All Wars.

Good job Mickael!

The Guardian Unlimited recently featured 360-degree photos by staff photographer Dan Chung. You can see Sir Menzies Campbell’s first speech at the Lib Dem conference in Brighton and also Ming’s photocall at the Brighton seafront.
