I love the intro video for ommwriter. It whisks me a way to a magical land full of quiet creativity where I can just think and be with my ideas, without distraction. The subtleness of the music is perfect too, any idea who created it? I’ll have to look into that, I need more of it in my life.

I need a whole room like ommwriter, not just a writing interface. In fact, it might be the inspiration for my new office decor.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

Two Poles by David Fokos

I am honoured to share with you today the work of David Fokos. His image shown above is called Two Poles and was taken in Chilmark, Massachusetts in 2001. David uses long exposures to illustrate what he says “is felt but unoften seen”; referring to the overall calming effect that the ocean truly has, not the tension we feel in the split second we see it full of choppy waves.

I’ve been a fan of David’s work since I began exploring long exposures myself last summer and I was both elated and honoured when he agreed to let me share a glimpse of his work with you. Thanks David!

This image just wouldn’t be the same without that boat. Rebekka’s gorgeous scenics are my favourites, followed closely by her self-portraits. You can view more of her work on her website, blog, and flickr.

I came across the rich and surreal black and white world of Joel Tjintjelaar on Flickr a few months back. I am constantly swept away by his imagery and inspired by his minimalism. Thanks Joel! (more…)

I met Marco Bohr six or seven years ago when I worked for Matthew Plexman Photography. He came in to show us his imagery and I’ve never forgotten it. At the time he had just completed his Uniforms series; however on white winter days I often find myself thinking of his Icefishers series.

If you visit his site also be sure to take a peek at Observatories, a great take on popular landmarks.

I have been ogling the work of Michael Levin since last summer… The minimalist style he uses in his photographs of water is stunning, timeless, and definitely has a calming effect. The processing of his black and white imagery is superb! Lots of gray tones with rich shadow detail and subtle highlights illustrate his superior exposure control and craftsmanship.

I dream that one day my work will hang next to his.
