Try on a New Sofa -> Ikea Video

Ikea has always produced fresh/fun ways to promote and demo their new products online, which makes sense given that their in-store experience is all about doing just that. This video experience is pretty entertaining. The sets are probably the most impressive part to me, with each one so amazingly rich and well shot into. Cool [...]

Seattle 2012 -> Snowstorm Photos

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 [...]

Screen Series -> Matthew Tischler

I came across Matthew Tischler’s photography works this morning while browsing my Tumblr dashboard. These images immediately caught my eye. Shooting through a screen is such a simple idea, but it creates a really fresh and familiar effect. His attention to color and composition takes his technique to an extra level. More to see on [...]

Favourite Places 2: Tempelhofer Feld -> Matthias Heiderich

Berlin based photographer and designer Matthias Heiderich is a master at minimalism and at setting a distinct melodramatic mood with his photography. I personally enjoy the muted palette that he achieves with his photo processing and his ability to balance his subject matter vs. the void. Brilliant work, more to see beyond the links below.

Volvo -> xctravels.com

You’ve got to love the big budget hyper-immersive branded experiences that come from automotive industry giants like Volvo. For a designer, it’s kind of a dream to work on stuff like this. This particular experience features an inspirational deep dive for adventure seeking Volvo fanboys… the cars, the amazing destinations, the bears… it’s all there. [...]

Atelier Olschinsky -> Creative Studio

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.

iPhone 4s -> Photos

Since I traded in the old iPhone 3gs for the new iPhone 4s, my photo taking productivity has increased significantly. That’s the good thing. The bad thing is that my photo taking productivity has increased significantly and I haven’t touched my Canon 7D in weeks! I’ve found that the new 8MP camera and optics have really [...]

Francois Robert -> Stop The Violence Series

The work of artist and photographer Francois Robert has been showing up a bit this week on my Tumblr dashboard. This series called ‘Stop The Violence’, seemed appropriately creepy for the upcoming Halloween holiday. More amazingly precise arrangements of bone beyond the links below. How often does one get to say that?

Paolo Novelli -> Kenya Photography: I'm a Star

Very inspiring portrait photography coming from filmmaker and a photographer Paolo Novelli. The stunning light and texture make them feel like old master oil paintings. More beautiful work beyond the link below (discovered on www.nalden.net).

Excerpt from his website:

“In 2009 I left for Kenya to work on a photographic project, I intended to portray the subtle balance [...]

Unseen Photography -> Photo Fair

The super clean, well designed type design, promotional materials and web site for the Unseen Photo Fair in Amsterdam are a fine example of event branding. The Amsterdam based festival is a gathering of photography galleries displaying unseen works. Worth checking out.

Bryon Darby -> Flight Paths photo set

Byron Darby is a Northern Utah born and raised artist, with a focus in photography. The impressive composited image at the top called “Seventy Flights in Ninety Minutes” is the piece of his that originally caught my eye. His images are with no doubt the product of great persistence and planning. Many more fantastic examples [...]

'Views' Photo Set -> Alberto Salván Zulueta

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.

Elizabeth Gadd -> Flickr Photostream

Vancouver based photographer Elizabeth Gadd has a terrific Flickr photo stream full of great outdoor scenery and other amazing moments. I really like her latest landscapes, full of light and sometimes accented with human figures. Have a look for yourself via the link below.

Luminous Earth Grid -> Stuart Williams

This is definitely one of the more ambitious and disruptive installation art pieces that I’ve come across in a long while. Apparently, it was created and documented some time ago in 1993, but it’s been floating around on Tumblr blogs a bit lately because of it’s timely on-trend aesthetic. Here’s the overall project description from the Behance page:

“Luminous [...]

Pacific Pirates -> Billabong

Pacific Pirates from Billabong on Vimeo.

It’s August, seems like a perfect time to take a few minutes and soak up a well produced surf documentary. Personally, I’m a sucker for them, ever since I first checked out the original ‘Endless Summer’ when I was a kid. Anyway, this video smartly produced by Billabong has documneted [...]
