The Breakers of Newport is a cottage built by one of the 19th century's most wealthy industrialists, steamship magnate Cornelius Vanderbilt. In 1893, Vanderbilt decided to build himself a new summer cottage to replace the original wooden one that had burnt down the previous year. Here the similarity between his summer cottage and that of most people's ends.
The 70 room cottage Vanderbilt commissioned is an elaborate mansion featuring close to 65,000 sq ft. of living space on a 13 acre estate. It cost him $7 million which was a lot more money at the turn of the 19th century than it is today. (With inflation, $7 million then is closer to $150 million today!)

Toronto-based world record breaker Suresh Joachim, who has notched up more than 30 in the Guinness Book--he "moonwalked" 30 km in 24 hours, for instance--celebrates the completion of 24 hours of continuous bowling with a trick shot at the Play Time bowling alley on Thursday afternoon. Joachim knocked down more than 56,000 pins during that time.
Strobist info: This is my most dismal off-camera lighting shot ever. Most egregiously, I gelled my SB-800 to fluorescent, thus losing that bowling alley aura that incandescent lighting gives off.
Then, I had someone hand-hold my snoot-less strobe (camera right) from the wrong side of the subject, so that his face gets a nice and ugly shadow across it. Finally, not once during 15 minutes of shooting and reviewing did I deeply question/review my approach (the gelling, lighting, etc).
Photoshop's burn and dodge were used to give the photo that "botched by a Photoshop amateur" look.
This sort of incompetence makes me want to junk all my photo gear.
