The World's Greatest Tennis Player Ever™ hit the Wimbledon courts in some pretty fancy attire (for Wimbledon, where players are supposed to wear all white). He even brought a gold manbag to match his Sgt. Pepper warm-up suit. And then he dominated his opponent in straight sets, so whatever, keep the sparkles coming.
British bank HSBC partners with Wimbledon to produce massive grass art portraits. The portraits are essentially grass photographs. The two artists commissioned for the project, Heather Ackroyd and Dan Harvey, who are known for similar work, snapped photographs of Wimbledon notables and projected the black and white negatives onto seedling grass in a dark room. The process went on for 12 hours a day for over a week before the competition. Given the differences in light exposure in the grass’s formative stages, the photographs “develop” out of the grass as it grows. Neat!
Sports Buzz After five sets and several rain delays, the 22 year old Spaniard beat five-time champion Roger Federer to win Wimbledon in one of the longest, most gripping games in the history of tennis. Unflappable John McEnroe was so visibly moved by the results that he offered Federer a hug live on air, which is like watching a grizzly bear shopping for tampons. You just don’t see that kind of thing happen every day.
Mysterious faceless mutants appear in photographs from Wimbledon. Creepy, but still not quite as gross as the cat with no face.
