Yukka
2nd February 2012
I’ve been having a bit of thing for succulents and cactus recently, and although a Yukka is neither (!) it reminded of this photo I took a couple of years ago. Pretty.
CommentTime is Nothing
30th January 2012
Time is Nothing is not your usual timelapse.
17 Countries. 343 Days. 6237 Photographs. You’ll recognise a lot of the landmarks, and the landscapes are beautiful, but the cool thing is how much of the video is focused on people and how gorgeous the music is.
I loved seeing so many of the places we’ve been and it made me want to go to the ones we haven’t yet. Read more about Kien Lam’s travels here.
Definitely worth a watch.

Land Down Under
26th January 2012
Happy Australia Day to all my friends and family in Oz!
I took this photo at Tamarama during Sculptures by the Sea. If anyone is ever in Sydney while it’s on (usually November time) be sure to check it out.
Audrey Hepburn
23rd January 2012
Wow. I thought this shot of Audrey Hepburn by iconic British photographer Terry O’Neill was beautiful. Simple, sexy and so different from many of the portraits you usually see of her.
Terry O’Neill: Screen Sirens & Rock Rebels has unfortunately just finished at the Proud Galleries in London, but the exhibition is still available to view online here.

Love this Calder inspired Vintage Camera Mobile over on Photojojo.
Snap Happy!
The Right Year for Children
17th January 2012
Last month I was lucky to be able to work with my friends over at PhotoVoice (and Action For Children) to help them design and build an online site and resource booklet to launch Rights! Cameras! Action! - a project that uses photography and video to explore young people’s views on children’s rights.
2012 is The Right Year for Children (RY4C) and aims to develop and strengthen children’s rights and awareness in the UK. Launched on December 16th to coincide with the 20th anniversary of the signing of the UK’s United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, the project is being introduced into UK schools this year to help kids learn about the right’s they’re entitled to.
Any project that uses photography as a way to express yourself is awesome in my opinion and Rights! Cameras! Action! is super interesting and well worth checking out.
Stuart Gibson
16th January 2012
I always admire surf photographers and Tasmanian photographer Stuart Gibson is no exception. Waves are powerful and beautiful things.
(These are also making me wish I was on the beach. Cape Town is 32 degrees today and rising…)
Lantern Love
11th January 2012
This photo of the Loy Krathong festival in Thailand makes me wish I was there. Beautiful.
Sky Series
10th January 2012
O.
That’s me with my mouth wide open in amazement at how unbelievable Eric Cahan’s Sky Series is. I have fallen completely and utterly in love with his sunrise and sunset shots.
The cool thing is that most of these amazing colours are captured using coloured resin filters, rather than in Photoshop, which Cahan says he uses only for toning the photos to match the paper colour and occasionally to add a bit of colour curve.

Zander Olsen
6th January 2012
Zander Olsen creates amazing photographs. The top image is part of his Tree, Line series. Clever, simple and beautiful – the perfect combination.
“These works, carried out in Surrey, Hampshire and Wales, involve site specific interventions in the landscape, ‘wrapping’ trees with white material to construct a visual relationship between tree, not-tree and the line of horizon according to the camera’s viewpoint.”
They reminded me of Andy Goldsworthy, one of my all time favourite sculptors and artists. The bottom pebble image is one of his.
