SMRVL: THE BLOG

Like a notebook, but also somewhat like a blog

The photography of Arabella Packford couldn’t be much more thoughtful. And in a world gone mad with Instagram filters, these clear and composed shots are a breath of serenity.

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.

They Were Strange And Quiet And Sad, But Kind

March 16th, 2012 | Filed under: Illustration, Photography, Sketchbook | 3 Comments »

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, by Seymour Templar

March 8th, 2012 | Filed under: Photography | Add a Comment »

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.

Snapshot of Vi by Chaviagraphy

March 5th, 2012 | Filed under: Photography | Add a Comment »

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.
