Ok, so no one wants to condone smoking, especially kids doing it. But check out these amazing photographs by the talented Frieke Janssen.

OK, so there's been quite a lot of recolouring of 'old classics' going on, some of which has just been truly appalling. These however are quite the opposite. Digitally modified by Swedish artist Sanna Dullaway, this collection of famous (and some private) images are pretty amazing to look at.

Ok lads, Christmas is over, we all got presents we might not have wanted, so maybe its time to take them back, sell them on Ebay and get yourself one of these!

Researchers at UC Berkeley have figured out how to extract what you're picturing inside your head, and they can play it back on video. The video is pretty surreal but this is early tech, think what will happen in a couple of decades!! Read more.

So, every once in a while one of the RARE team is unlocked and allowed to leave the desk to rediscover their serenity. This last week it was my turn and I managed to escape to Barcelona for a few days to take in the various sites and museums etc etc. I shall not bore you with my own stories of Gaudi and the Dali museum in Figueres I managed to get to (amazing), but more my surprise on the Metro...

Working alongside CRICKET brand communications, RARE created an iPad app platform to support the global media launch of the new Range Rover Evoque in August 2011.

The app combines the new brand film and video content with highly detailed engineering and technology briefings, along with stories from Land Rover's experts.

So we thought it was time we let someone else do the talking. So we asked several of our clients to give us a bit of feed back and let us know what they thought of RARE. We were so happy with the feedback, we made this happy little video to share with you all. Thanks everyone!

Here at RARE we always like to try something different when working on new projects. We thought we'd Lo-Fi half of our recent iPad influx to create a RARE Logo Wall. Check out the vid below.

Check this out. The ultimate in iPhone snobbery and utterly ridiculous to boot!!

Nostalgia reigns supreme in this awesome idea. People go back to the place where photos were taken to match up memorable shots with the scene they were taken, leaving little messages of thanks to the photograph for keeping the memory alive.  Have a look and wait for the warm feeling to arrive. http://dearphotograph.com.
