What’s in a name? According to Wes Carr, a lot. Who? I hear you ask. My thoughts exactly.

Not content with covering his guitar in old stickers to make it cool, this man is now having a personal image makeover too

There’s something about planes, people working on them, getting things done. People getting things done on planes look like the sort of people you want to get things done for you.

I was going to Photoshop some sunglasses onto the PM, but I didn't want to ruin Phil Hilyard's Walkely-winning picture…

Julia Gillard used to look like that back in 2010 when this photo was taken. She could use a bit of that juice right now. Just look what it’s done for Hillary Clinton.

A photo of Clinton, shades on, Blackberry in hand, about to take off for Tripoli, has not just become an internet sensation but injected a whole new energy into the commentary about her political prospects.
