“Art is an expression of life that transcends both time and space. We must explore our own souls through art to give a new form and a new meaning to the nature of the world. There is a certain point in time, where the harmony of light, atmosphere, and spirit collide, a place in the cosmos where the rhythm of nature unfolds in front of the camera. This can only happen once.”

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.

We’re finally in a position to start hanging artwork in our home and I’ve come across a lot of great pieces on Etsy. I’ve always been a fan of the work of Irene Suchocki and her photograph Swish 2 sweeps me away. Aren’t those colours just gorgeous? And the sense of movement really makes me hear the sound of the waves. I might need to order one of these.

Are you an artist that would be interested in trading pieces with me? If so send me an email with a link to your work and I’ll get back to you if your style suits the look of our home.

I’ve recently started following the works of Pic@ on Flickr, doesn’t she take such amazing minimalist black and white photographs.  I particularly like the stripes that formed in her image Sable, océan, ciel III (shown above).

Christina Richards creates beautiful still life photographs of simple quiet subject matter and scenes using beautiful soft light.  I am touched by her collection called Ena’s House, images of the home her great-grandmother grew up in.  I’d love to do a similar series of the home my father grew up in, maybe that’s something to put on the list for next summer…

I came across the work of Juliane Eirich on 20×200 several months ago and her Snownight photographs have always stayed with me.  Lately I’ve been dabbling in long exposure photography and I think with winter on the horizon quiet snowy night scenes might be a natural extension.  I am quite fond of how the darkness masks some of the elements that might otherwise be distracting and the soft dim light adds a quiet beauty to the subject matter that may be lost during the daylight hours.

Juliane’s work can be found on her website and at 20×200.
