Chema Madoz is a Spanish photographer whose work we thought we stumbled across today. However, after finding out more about him we realized we’d picked up a postcard for our collection featuring one of his photographs many years ago and it’s been hanging in our office for three years now. Mr. Madoz creates beautiful black-and-white [...]
We came across this photo on Scouting New York and wanted to post it. It’s a “ghost sign” or a sign for a business that no longer exists. It has great atmosphere with the old building behind and then the style of the letters with that touch of rust…add the snow on top of it [...]
In honor of spring springing on Saturday, we present a couple of images from artist Levi van Veluw’s ‘Landscapes’ series. Levi van Veluw is an artist with a unique perspective. Don’t call his work self-portraits. His photographs of his body covered in various materials are works of art in themselves. The entire process is self-made, [...]
We’ve never been to Japan. But we came across these images from the 1880s by Italian photographer Adolfo Farsari and we were amazed. Farsari was one of very few if any Europeans allowed access to the Japanese interior in the 1800s. He shot numerous photos (painstakingly hand-tinted) of rural life. The images are astounding and [...]
In his series “Primates” French photographer Ruben Brulat reminds us that, in relation to nature, humans are just another type of animal. Brulat photographs himself nude in vast landscapes devoid of other human constructs to emphasize our frailty and our often-forgotten symbiosis with the planet. The results are beautiful and striking. Also check out his [...]
Inspiration comes in all forms, non? We don’t remember how or when we first came across artist Terry Border’s Bent Objects, but we’re a big fan. Terry takes mundane objects and gives them new life with bits of wire and clever sets, styling, and stories. His images are beautifully photographed and typically (and sometimes twistedly) [...]
For those of us in Texas, the above photo would be cause for alarm, or if we weren’t actually fleeing from destruction, a moment of awe for nature’s power. But actually, it’s even more amazing than that. Artist Matthew Albanese creates tiny detailed models from various materials. Through the use of various photographic techniques and [...]
It’s no surprise we’re fond of food around here. Sometimes we even like to make it. (This weekend we made a batch of our famous cookies!) Maybe it’s just because we’re hungry, but while trying to figure out what to post today we remembered one of our favorite food sites, Smitten Kitchen. Not only does [...]
Another picture from the shoot we did with Adam Voorhes. We really like working with him. We wish he’d call us more. Maybe he can’t ’cause we broke the phone. Hmmm.
