Today’s Featured Flickr Photographer is Lisa Scheer. She is a master of composing in square format. I love how she takes such mundane scenes and somehow subtly manages to draw out the life and personality of the objects. Her hasselblad set is where the magic happens. Check out her photo blog to [...]

Photographer Grant Hamilton takes a variety of nice photos, but the ones that really caught my eye were the Polaroid shots of found retro stripes. You can buy large prints of some of these at his etsy shop. They would also make great color scheme inspiration for any retro inspired design.

Every once in a while I’m going to feature a Flickr photographer that has consistently been producing quality photos. This week, I’m featuring the photographer that goes by the name Harpy.

Instead of posting a mega post of typographic photography once in a blue moon, I’ll feature each photo separately so that I can post these images more frequently and they each get their own spotlight. I’ve created a separate category for typography photography so that essentially [...]

Seen in dj denim’s photostream, which contains a plethora of [...]

Lori Hutchinson is making some really fresh paintings. They have great texture, and I always love some ethereal oddness in paintings. I particularly liked the one called Umbrella Weather, but the one I posted above was just so bold, unique and well executed, that I had to feature it. It’s called Hanging [...]

Flickr user s.alt has a beautiful set of plant silhouette photography. I love how the contrast is so high that they almost look like vector art work. These photos would make great inspiration for graphic designs and patterns.

I loved this photo of wispy toy sheep surround by luscious bokeh and I had to share it here. It’s in square format, but the original resolution is high enough that you can easily crop it to wallpaper size if you know how. See more by the photographer, MummaLu.

This is the latest installment in a series of my most popular posts by far, in which I showcase some of the best photography that includes nice typography as its subject. I want to say thanks for the interest, it makes the countless hours I spend scouring Flickr for quality typography photography, narrowing it [...]

I just found out about the Flickr group called, Typography Friday which encourages designers to create a typographic design for fun every friday. It sounds like fun and I decided to submit the above wide screen desktop wallpaper I made of a little ghost and a typographic “Boo?”. You can download the 2560×1600 [...]
