You are seated on your ScubaDoo, with your head and shoulders within a clear dome, your air constantly replenished from the external compressor, enabling you to breathe normally! At a rate of 2.5 knots you’re able to ride amongst the spectacular underwater world, or remain stationary while you feed the fish.

Politics, too, can play a role. Many teens abroad are developing a “new nationalism,” says Ms. Brown. American brands used to carry edgy cultural cachet, she says. Today, “teens around the world have become disenchanted with the mythological portrayal of American youth.” Sometimes that nationalism finds an outlet in satire and humor at America’s expense. “It’s been very easy to spoof America in the past few years,” Brown says.

These photos were either lost, forgotten, or thrown away. The images now are nameless, without connection to the people they show, or the photographer who took them.

The Chair is made with drawing paper, as the paper is being “drawn upon”, the size of the front cylinder increases and thus follows the child’s growth!- age 2-7 Years. Clean paper is transferred from the back cylinder to the front simply by rolling the front cylinder backwards. The amount of paper is approx. 500 meters, which means that the paper can be changed twice a week for 5 years.
This would have been the chair of my dreams when I was a kid!
