These stunning photographic images by Lieven Dirckx remind me of the rich, deep, luminescent ‘old master’ oil paintings that I’ve spent time in front of, with jaw dropped, at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The works by Rembrandt in particular come to mind… Only, these images venture into a very surreal and dreamlike place and [...]

Last weekend I caught myself taking another randomly found mannequin photo while walking around the Fremont Sunday outdoor market (the top black and white image). Over time I’ve accumulated a few these mannequin shots, so I’ve decided to create a little Flickr photo set of them that I hope to expand upon. More beyond the [...] I’ve posted about my photo book project a couple of times here on CircuitBreaks.com, and I’m now posting to let you all know that it’s finally up for a full preview and if you really, really dig it… for purchase on Blurb.com. I had a great time taking the pics, pulling them all together and [...] The photographic works of Romain Laurent are both innovative and disruptive. The above captures are from his collection called ‘TILT’ and are a reminder that a simple skew or angle on an otherwise ordinary and everyday shot may cause the need for great attention. Applying this effect to the grand, iconic and always entertaining backdrop [...] The amazingly detailed miniature scenes above were shot by Swiss photographer Florian Tremp with a Canon EOS 400d. As part of a set called ‘No Country for Small Men’ I find them to be extremely entertaining to look over. What really stands out for me across his body of work is his attention payed to [...] Indonesia based photographer Noran Bakrie has captured some truly magical shots. I’m not certain what kind of equipment he’s using but I really enjoy the retro feel of his camera’s output. Above is a small sampling of the many great photos that reside on his site. Visit -> http://www.noranbakrie.com Above are a few of my favorite pics from this past week that I took with my iPhone 3Gs. I used the ‘Plastic Bullet’ app from software company ‘Red Giant’ to add the interesting border effects and vignette treatment. ‘Plastic Bullet’ has quickly become my favorite filtering tool over ‘hipstamatic’ because I think the overall look [...] This past Monday night I was invited by a friend to view a documentary directed by Jeff Malmberg called “MARWENCOL”, the story of photographer and artist Mark Hogancamp (creator of the incredible photos above). Without giving away too much of the plot, it’s about a man from Upstate New York who was brutally attacked and [...] Recently, a friend of mine from work introduced me to these amazing portraits, shot by Seattle based artist Dan Carrillo with his 8 x 10 Burke and James and an 11 x 14 Deardorff studio camera named ‘Daisy’. Using an old technique called ‘wet-plate collodion’ on plates called ‘Ambrotypes’ his images are all one-of-a-kind, similar [...] It would be incredible if we had the ability to harness time, stay within the good moments and savor them completely. Zoltán Vancsó is somehow doing exactly that with every picture he takes. To me, they are all pure perfectly captured moments in life. Regardless of equipment, money, culture or land, he’s just locked them [...] I’ve been getting into portrait photography lately, trying some of my own… mostly failing. Often times, I’m too shy to approach a stranger, or sneak a shot. I have a total respect for the art. Copenhagen, Denmark based Ken Hermann has the ability to capture unbelievable portraits of interesting people in their own settings. Actually, [...] If you frequent my blog, which is wishful thinking on my part, you may have noticed the radio silence over the last few days. A couple of times a year I actually get to see my parents in person. This past weekend they were able to come out for a visit and it was their [...] This past week a friend of mine turned me on to the work of Portland based photographer and Alaskan commercial fisherman and skateboarder Corey Arnold. With so many of us out there ‘life documenting’ and ‘life tracking’ these days it’s really refreshing to come across someone who not only has a great talent and passion [...] This playful interactive installation was created by Amsterdam based artist, designer and experimenter Theodore Watson. He’s shown his work all over the world at museums and conferences such as the MoMA, Tate Modern, Ars Electronica, The Sundance Film Festival, Res Fest and many others. The concept makes visual associations from different people that are captured [...] I came across this excellent flash based photography portfolio site of Jean Malek’s on theFWA.com yesterday. I must have missed it because it was posted a while ago and I frequent the FWA as a source for interactive design trends. Regardless, I love the motion design and full bleed/full screen experience on this site, not [...] |
In addition to showing my most recent Flickr photos here (left set of 6), I have decided to rotate my favorite Flickr contacts as well. This time showing photo thumbs from Simon Page's most interesting Flickriver (right set).
