Diane Arbus

Truthfully I don't know much about this photographer and I cannot really be bothered researching, I just really like her style and the her subjects. Her portraiture really captures what that person is all about (wether it is real or staged), and her subject seem to be quirky left of centre eccentric characters, usually the outcasts and those marginalized by society. What I really like is that it feels like she spent quite some time photographing those around her, lived like them and got to know them, well that's my impression anyway. Fantastic.

huiuh

Whimsical and ethereal.

I discovered this great blog last night (since this - searching the interwebs-  is all I do lately after graduating) and its really cool and different. There are soooo many blogs out there and most of them do the same thing, admittedly I am one of those but sometimes you come across a gem of originality. Kevin weir, takes on the 'gif' and instead of regurgitating other peoples work i short moving bursts he creates his own masterful moving pieces. Weird and wonderful stuff.

Confest 2012

I just returned from a great hippie commune, held over easter every year. It is an alternative living festival, its a fun and loving experience. I really enjoy going because it makes me less aware of myself, relearn to judge less and enjoy life and people. These are some shots I took.

The Fox With the Golden Fur

what a great packaging concept, it involves the user and is a keep sake at the same time. It's playful and beautiful. via the dieline

Typochocolate

Yummy, slabs of chocolate embossed with delicious typography. I want to be nibbling on this right now, slowly because you know it's too difficult to bite through it.

Scrabble and Typography

OMG, look at this. It is amazing, designed by Drew Capener, well crafted wood, simple design, lovely typography. This is a board game with substance, it is lovely to see things being produced with care and quality. Just beautiful.

Coco Renalds, beautiful sleek designs.

Wind Map

This is a very cool live mapping of wind. Mapping an intangible force such as wind can be difficult, and this is a lovely example of how it can be done. See the moving map here.

Matt Caplin

I featured work from young artist Nirimi (We Live young post) a couple of days ago, today I wanted to show you the works of her lover, Matt Caplin. Also a photographer, just as stunning work.

We Live Young

We Live Young is a blog written by a young photographer. Not only is she talented,but through her blog she shares her story and personal photographs which I find so wonderful and inspiring. It is always a joy to read and look through her amazing photographs.
