Big hat tip to @thispeterlewis for this two-for-one deal. Check out the beautiful photography on his site and also here. But check out his SITE, by Grid/plane. How beautiful is that navigation? Crazy beautiful, that’s how.
The Atlantic put up a stunning gallery called A World Without People. I couldn’t help but respond in the vein of Aaron Leighton‘s beautiful Spirit City Toronto.
These are the only three for now. I’d love to do more sometime. The title of the concept is They Were Strange And Quiet And Sad, But Kind.
Social Lights is a beautiful photo series by Seymour Templar showing people from New York illuminated by the light from their mobile devices. Definitely going to use this concept in some ad at some point in the future.
I’m not a big believer in sharing pictures of my kid. (I’m pretty selfish like that, actually.) But this blog is mostly a place for me to collect things that I like, and I very much like this Instagram of my little girl by Chavia of Chaviagraphy.
Solid hat tip to @andrewgallo of VsTheBrain on this one.
I’ve posted about Vivian Maier before, but I had forgotten about her in the interim, and I thought you might have too. So I’m bringing her up again, because she’s worth two posts.
To quote from the site linked above:
Born in New York 1926, Vivian Maier was an American-French photographer who worked as a nanny in Chicago from the mid-1950′s to the 1990′s. In 2007, two years prior to Maier’s death, 26-year-old real estate agent John Maloof purchased a box filled with 30,000 negatives from an estate sale for $400.
Vivian’s work was never known during her life, but she left behind a body of work of an incredibly high caliber.
The now-published book of her work is absolutely on my “must own” list.
This BBC Philharmonic Commission photography by Andrew Brooks is beautiful, and is exactly what I’d want to see in a Narnia movie. (If you search “Narnia” on this blog, you’ll quickly discover I’m not a huge fan of Walden’s Narnia films.)
But these photos are The Stuff.
Love this stock photo. Don’t know why… the colors, the face, the cropping. It’s a fave. Wish I could make a book cover out of it.
Visit The Casual Optimist and watch art history unfolding as a Chicago 20-something discovers one of the most significant street photographers of the 20th century in a box of never-before-seen negatives.
