31.05.15 Elizabeth Gadd's Wonder Lust

When I found these photographs I couldn't not show someone, they are beautiful and breath taking, as though you are witnessing the landscape yourself. They capture the feeling of freedom and, in a way, our own insignificance in our world and how that frees you from modern life where you are encouraged to focus on yourself and your achievements. 

Elizabeth Gadd is a self taught Canadian photographer who likes to photograph wanderers and adventurers in some completely stunning landscapes.
She has said that she aims to “display human interaction with nature in a positive and peaceful way.” That’s why a lot of her photos are self-portraits, as she finds her favorite serene locations when she wanders alone.

16.11.14 FILMS

Spike Jonze's modern romance Her. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Amy Adams, and Scarlett Johansson, the film tells the story of a heartbroken man called Theodore (played by Phoenix) who falls in love with "Samantha" - his advanced new computer's operating system (voiced by Johansson).

I recently watched this film and loved it, sometimes strange but always interesting the film touches on how technology is turning us into a world full of lonely people. The "sex" scene was slightly awkward but other than that I was stuck to the screen the whole way through.

It certainly goes on the shelve with 'Lars Real Girl' as an unusual film which I'm glad I stumbled upon!

It's always nice to just get out and walk.

27.01.14 Inspiration: Adam Summers

Noted as the 'new way of viewing marine life', scientific photographer Adam Summers has used coloured dyes to create beautifully detailed images of a variety of fish!  These fantastic images were made by experimenting with different dyes and bleaches in an attempt to alter their pigments in the body. The result are these amazing 'coloured x-ray's' which offer an interesting insight into anatomy.

Getting Back to It

Its been a while since I've blogged, or even taking any serious photographs so I've decided to blog about Ryan Mcginley. Although his work is getting repetitive and you always no what to expect, I still find some beauty in his work, especially the nudes in landscape photos. Anything to get my interest in photography perked I guess, though I'm unlikely to take my friends down to the river and have them strip in the name of my art! Unless they ask me too!

These images are selected from Ryan McGinley's "Vertical Color of Sound"
