Capturing Beautiful Audrey Hepburn - Bob Willoughby

Though we often post on modern photographers, I thought I would take a look back this week at some photographers who broke new ground. The ones who took photography to daring new heights.

If you enjoy looking at Hollywood behind-the-scenes, where the director carefully directs his leading actress, where the actress lets out a hearty laugh or where the crew nervously awaits a cue, you have photographer Bob Willoughby to thank. Popular Photography called him "The man who virtually… Continue

Using "green guerrilla tactics," eco-minded street artist Edina Tokodi brings nature closer to city dwellers through her living works of art. Unlike most other types of art forms, her site-specific moss installations are meant to be touched, felt.

David Maisel Landscape Images

It's beautiful isnt it? But it's also an image of a scarred landscape. What does it do to me, now that I realized I found beauty in things that are mutated/mutilated? I love art that makes me raise these questions. Art that instinctively makes me think differently and experience contrast.

David Maisel… Continue

Graphic Colour Codes developed by Color Add

If you are red-green colour blind how would one explain color to each other? If graphic design can offer a solution, how would one translate color into graphics?

Color Add has done some amazing research and development on this. They started with giving thre basic forms to the three primary colours blue (cyan), red (magenta) and yellow. All other graphic color codes are based on those. Just like how all colors find their origin in the… Continue

Glam Girl Next Door - Harper's Bazaar Jan 2010 (8 pics)

As silly as it seems that actress Kate Hudson struts her stuff in designer dresses during the day, I can't help but like this refreshing photo shoot by Peter Lindbergh. Perhaps it's the expressions on Kate's face that I enjoy. Photographed by Peter Lindbergh, Kate seems confident, cute and even a little kooky.

Also, I like how Kate is refreshingly honest… Continue

The Sand Art Of Jim Denevan

Jim Denevan is a Northern California artist who makes large scale designs utilizing sand, earth and ice. Using only a stick or rake Denevan creates massive geometric shapes similar to crop circles. From the look of these pictures many of these designs were done at my favorite morning surf spot in San Francisco. Unfortunately he must wake up later than I did because I never got to see one…
