I think artist photographer Lauren Marsolier is a genius. His ability to detect healthy tension and strong composition in a seemingly sterile location is inspiring. It’s one thing to capture a beautiful photo from something that is interesting and captivating from the get go, it’s another to capture something beautiful and interesting from a location that would be considered mundane by most.

It’s been a while since I’ve shamelessly posted any of my own personal musings and photo experiments. My mobile photo updates are now part of my weekly routine on tumblr, wether it was a conscious decision or not, I’ll never know. It’s fun. Lately, I’m getting a kick out of flipping my images, a simple trick, I know, but the results can be pretty entertaining. The world can look pretty amazing when symmetry is applied.

Amazing lighting seen within these ‘Indoor Clouds’ by Amsterdam artist photographer Berndnaut Smilde. I’m curious about his process, I’ll try to dig up some information.

Excerpt from his Site:

“Berndnaut Smilde’s work often draws upon the physical presence of transitional spaces. Places such as corridors, elevators, staircases and balconies interest Smilde as spaces that exist to be in between. This interest also branches out into the possibility of how a given space might be in between states of construction and deconstruction.”

I’ve rediscovered the work of Stockholm based photographer Felix Odell this evening. His Buenos Aires photos (2010) were the first that caught my eye, but I’m absolutely captivated by ‘The Mist’ series of photos from 2009 as well. His whole collection is amazing and worth checking out.

The photography of Portland, Oregon based Delaney Allen is brilliant. Fantastic cloudscapes, rogue waves, mundane objects in extraordinary environments and even still moments that pull at one’s emotional heartstrings. It’s all there.

One way to go about capturing a strong image is to be in an interesting place to begin with. I really enjoy Argijale’s Flickr photostream because he seems to constantly immerse himself in places and situations that make for interesting photography.

Photographer Simon Harsent’s thought provoking ‘Melt’ series of iceberg portraits fascinate me. At first glance they feel powerful and have a sense of permanence, but then those feelings are soon replaced by a darker reality, making them seem dismal and fragile.

I haven’t had a lot of free time to post this week. I’ve been shoveling snow and taking photos of all the wild weather that we’ve been experiencing here in the Pacific NW. I’ve got a bunch of photos that I will be processing and posting over the next few days, and another good night of shooting ahead of me. Stop by my Flickr and Tumblr pages and see what I’ve discovered around the neighborhood.

I really like the overall effect, technique and feel of the photography set called ‘Views’ by Alberto Salván Zulueta. Two significantly different views melded together to create an even more powerful and thought provoking image, that somehow feels comfortably whole and standalone. Many more via the link below.

The Porsche headlight Polaroid series above, called ‘Pantone Porsche’ is one of the best things that I’ve seen today while browsing my Tumblr dashboard. Emmanuel Delaby’s Flickr stream is filled with interesting moments and terrific autos, all captured and thoughtfully enhanced with filters and various applications. Makes for a fun browse.

I’ve been following the updates by Nuremburg, Germany based designer and photographer Johannes Heuckeroth for some time now. His latest batch of architectural photography is really stunning, consistently magical light, thoughtful cropping… I especially like his long exposure cityscape captures. If you enjoy works like these, you’ll want to stop by his Flickr stream for a few clicks.

The above photos are a few highlights from my recent NYC trip. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my “hobbyist photography” efforts. I’m still loving the Canon 7D. I still haven’t found the time to take any serious HD video with it, hoping to do so this summer. Especially since I’ve added the 15mm 2.8 Fisheye lens to my collection. I was going for a wide angle… got that. More to be seen on my Flickr stream.
