Probably mostly a blog about photography since I started this in class, but may stray to other topics.

Playing with Food
This is another story I saw on yahoo that I just thought was very cool & creative. I've never seen food used like this before. Carl Warner is a London-based photographer and he has created this still-lifes completely out of food.
Lego Awesome-ness
I saw this trending on Yahoo the other day and just loved it. I went to Legoland in California years ago and it was just so cool. I can't imagine the work that goes into the constuction of something so large, made completely of legos. Here's a link to the story. And the video of the whole constuction:

My love of Disney
As a child of the 90's, I obviously grew up on Disney & it will always hold a special spot in my heart. I mean I can practically recite Aladdin and the Little Mermaid & probably know the lyrics to almost all the songs. I have many Disney songs on my iPod, to be honest. So I love the work Annie Leibovitz has been doing in recreating Disney imagery, they are just wonderful. It's great to see actors & actresses of all ages and genres participating in a large group project like this and Leibovitz just seems to have a knack for picking the right people to play each character so their personalities really shine.

Since I obviously LOVE everything Disney related, I'm sure you can imagine my joy upon hearing about designer Alfred Angelo's new wedding dress collection inspired by Disney princesses. I mean what could be more fabulous and glamorous than dressing like a "real" princess on our wedding day- the same princesses that we have been pretending to be since we were little. I know I was Ariel for Halloween and had a Jasmine costume as well. The great thing is that the dresses are all gorgeous in their own right, and his designs are fairly affordable when compared to others in the market.

Jay Patel
I saw examples of photographer Jay Patel's work on another blog& instantly loved it. His landscapes make great use of color and light to make his images more dramatic and stand out. Here is just a sample of his work.
Great use of light in the images above & below. really highlights the scene.

Tourist composites
I found this on Yahoo recently and thought it was a pretty interesting concept.
Artist Corinne Vionnet "carefully layers 200-300 photos on top of one another until she gets her desired result." It's kind of interesting to see that so many people take almost identical pictures of the same landmarks which have become popular tourist spots. They seem almost painterly from the composites.

The man who isn't there
I saw this trending on yahoo so I decided to check it out and it's actually pretty cool. Liu Bolin has his body completely painted so he will blend into different backgrounds- and does such a good job that you could miss him in the picture. View the whole article and pictures here. It obviously takes a lot of time, talent, and patience of both Bolin and his assistants to pull these off- and they're not just ordinary, simple backgrounds.

Stephen Johnson
Randomly found this photographer, Stephen Johnson who does mainly landscape and nature work, which is what i hope to do in the future. His work "explores wild, endangered spaces, and human altered lands, while focusing on soft color and abstract design". He has worked on a variety of projects across the country & has had the opportunity to travel, which is something else I hope to do in the future. Most of his work has a soft & quiet feeling but he documents the world well and makes beautiful images.
