6 great photography galleries of railroad miniatures in real world settings

I love the little trend of setting up those tiny railroad set figures to look like they are interacting with the real world and then taking photos of them.

Tranquil Polaroid photography by VioletJulia

Links to above photos: bird, trees, horse, pillows.
VioletJulia is an artist that takes amazing Polaroid photos. The compositions are minimal and go well with the muted colors of Polaroid film. I find myself more and more attracted to this Lo-fi style of photography. There’s something about it that creates a serene and […]

Kuler and Flickr now work together

I find that when I choose color schemes for my designs I end up falling back to my favorite colors over and over again, so when I need variety I’ve been using Adobe’s Kuler to find color inspiration. I love the way it works with CS3 so easily, and it seems to be the […]

Typography Photography Vol. 3, 10 more great photos of found type

I’ve decided to establish a running feature on my blog that I will call “Typography Photography”. In this case, “Typography Photography” is defined as being a photo of typographic work in context.

Foil boxes have a roll holder…my mind is blown

lauren {elycerose} on Flickr just pointed out that aluminum foil boxes have push in tabs for holding the roll in place. This is the most amazing thing I have learned all week and I can’t believe I never noticed it before. My life is now slightly easier.

Clever photos of items interacting with clouds

I thought these photographs of objects interacting with clouds were pretty clever. Unfortunately I can’t read the site that they are on, so I have no idea who made them or where they came from.

Snowblinded - Great giclée prints out of Colorado

Colorado artist Anthony Cozzi has a small but fantastic collection of giclée prints sold under the moniker “Snowblinded”. I especially love the “Volcano” print as it reminds me of Asian woodblock prints. The rest of the prints feature great colors and texture as well in both photographic and graphic styles. The price […]
