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. I’ve narrowed it down to about 5 of my favorites, but there are hundreds of great photos in her photostream. A few of my [...]
I have decided to try something new. 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 there is [...]
This hand lettering on a door for a “Microanalysis Research and Consulting Chemist” made me laugh. It’s such a whimsical style and the pink paint adds to the fun. It’s the exact opposite of what I would expect to see for such a company. Seen in dj denim’s photostream, which contains a plethora of this [...]
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 down [...]
I found this great photo on Flickr of a vintage “Whittemore’s Cleanall” package. I just love the typography and the little flourishes. The colors are breathtakingly beautiful as well.
Chris Glass took this beautiful photo of a Wall-E toy holding a real plant. It almost brings to life this character from the amazing movie. It also makes a great desktop wallpaper in the original size. I love the title and caption he gave the photo, “Where I forget about landfills and buy the toy [...]
