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.

Design and artist duo Peter Olschinsky and Verena Weiss are based in Vienna, Austria. Their site is full of amazing examples of graphic design, illustration and photography. I really dig the above photos for their post processing and color work. There’s so much more to see on their portfolio site.

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.

You have to check out Todd Mclellan’s incredible photo set titled ‘Disassembly’ on his portfolio site. His arrangements range from being well organized and static, to energetic depictions of ‘in-the-moment’ explosions of classic and vintage objects. I like that they remind us of the complexity that lies within objects that we typically take for granted.

I had originally paid a visit to this site because it was on a list of newer HTML5 websites that I was browsing through. Once I hit the site I was immediately pulled in by super contrasty cityscape photography of Stockholm based Photographer Daniel Scholten. His post work technique and his sensibility to light really play well together. Worth clicking through.

Wurzburg, Germany based photographer Holger Schilling, created this photo series called ‘While you Slept’ (20th-century architecture of German single-family homes).

Side note: These works remind me of one of my all time favorite Japanese photographers Tomoyuki Sakaguchi.

Many of the more iconic and memorable photos taken of Greenpeace in action were taken by photographer Pierre Gleizes. As brave as he is talented, his works document some of the most important and pivotal environmental protests in modern history.

Ever wonder what the world would look like if we could actually see all of the invisible WiFi signals and other forms of digital connectivity right before our eyes? This is an interesting attempt at doing just that. More information is available about the project via the links below.

Notes from Vimeo:

“This project explores the invisible terrain of WiFi networks in urban spaces by light painting signal strength in long-exposure photographs. A four-metre long measuring rod with 80 points of light reveals cross-sections through WiFi networks using a photographic technique called light-painting.”

I feel so lucky to have discovered London based photographer Dan Holdsworth’s work this evening while browsing various photography sites. His sensibility to light and minimalist composition is so exceptional that I think I may have a tough time getting some of these images out of my head any time soon. They are truly mesmerizing. The three photos above are from a set called ‘Hyperborea’ (series of 11), taken in 2006. There are many, many more amazing photos on his site.

I just discovered this amazing iPhone app called ‘TiltShift Generator’ available at the app store for just 99¢. It’s a fantastically efficient and easy to use app that generates a very nice tilt-shift effect on your iphone pics. I’ve been trying it on on some of my landscape photos from my Flickr stream as well, and have been really impressed by the quality. A great photo tool to add to all your other favs. Hopefully the designers of photoshop and lightroom are taking notes on this functionality…
