I printed a photo the other day. I needed a baby photo of myself for a baby shower game, but being without ink or photo paper at home, I actually took my digital photos to a drug store and ordered prints.

Norwegian photographer Ida Frosk does what we all wish we'd been allowed to do as children — she plays with her food. The results are ephemeral recreations of original masterpieces. More

The result was his Table Beue, still in production (and available to the public for the modest sum of $22,500).
