The Tilt Shift photography technique has the unique ability to fool the eye into seeing the real world as a dollhouse version of miniatures. See more examples and tutorial links here.
Here’s a tilt shift shot of this year’s San Diego Comic-Con small press area, taken by KimonoKitsy Studios. Look closely for our booth on the far right.
Austin photographer Dave Mead presents an impressive collection of portraits from the 2009 World Beard and Mustache Championship. Think you know your famous facial hair? Take this Mustache Test.
Austin photographer Adam Voorhes has a way of translating a tongue-in-cheek whimsical point of view into his work with beautifully sharp clarity. (Let’s face it, most of us either did or schemed of doing an autopsy on an etch-a-sketch in our youth.) Be sure and check out the refreshing approach for his “About” section.
In the late 19th and early 20th century, photographer T. Enami (1859-1929) captured a number of 3D stereoviews depicting life in Meiji-period Japan. Visit Pink Tentacle for more animated Stereoviews.
Artist Lisa Congdon has taken upon a project that will span exactly one year, from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010 titled “Collection A Day.” On each of those 365 days, she vows to photograph or draw (and occasionally paint) one collection.
A great friend of mine, Ramsey Said, is both an amazing designer and photographer. We met the brief time he lived and Dallas and have continued our friendship since his move to the Bay area. He’s transformed into a true Bay Area native since his move there in 1989. He and his wife Jane live in Marin County now and he has fully taken advantage of the incredible beauty of San Francisco as well as the surrounding cities and countrysides with his photographic skills. Combined with his amazing eye for composition and lighting, he uses his extensive knowledge of the area and wit to craft some truly interesting stories. His first blog, FogBay, has since been retired (after 1000 posts!) but is well worth the visit for hours of visual and historical entertainment. His latest blog, FogPhoto expands on a multitude of aspects of his surroundings in a more simpler visual presentation. His third blog is in production and I look forward to sharing the news of its release here in the future. If you live in the bay area or have visited, you will no doubt discover new things from his photo explorations. If you’ve never visited Northern California, his talents will make you want to drop everything and plan a trip. Links to both blogs are below. Well worth the visit!
I’ve had the pleasure with working with a wonderful art director over the years by the name of Keith Crabtree. Not only is he an accomplished and successful designer, he has transformed into an amazing nature photographer over the last several years. In Keith’s many trips across Texas he has created a wonderful collection that showcases the astounding diversity of the wildlife and landscapes of the state. Be sure and check out the links below to see more of his beautiful work.
