Photographs Everywhere, But Is It Really Art?
by Sue Kennedy

I once heard a lady say to a photographer that she would have bought his work if it had been a painting. She liked the image, but for whatever reason didn't consider the medium suitable for her “it's just a photo”. I am sure that some share her thoughts, whilst others would be quite happy either way, but a growing number of people do recognise photography as an Art form. And collect it. “There are three fundamental components of what we call art. First, is the artist; second, is the medium; an ...

These films promote the illusion of warm weather and se ...

How Can You Tell If Your Gold Jewelry Is Real?
by Monil Salisti

* Tips For Buying Gold 1. Buy from someone you know or with a solid reputation. 2. Look for a store with a quality-assurance program that tests its own pieces for purity.

A Close Encounter with Wild Dolphins
by Gustasp Irani

My first glimpse of Tangalooma’s famous wild dolphins was from the boat that ferried us to Moreton Island 75 minutes from Brisbane, Australia.

I was down at the pier later that night for an up close and personal meeting with these friendly sea mammals; a group of eight that frolicked in the floodlit waters as they waited for the party to start.
