Paul Silk is a photographer stumbled upon by one of my work colleagues. His galleries over at pbase.com exhibit work of a consistently high quality. I am at once inspired and jealous, especially concerning “Landscapes (Monochrome)” and “Butterfly’s and Insects“. Go and take a peek. I believe you could even buy some of his prints…
Rebekka Guðleifsdóttir is a photographer who has been in the news recently after some of her photos were downloaded from Flickr and sold by an unscrupulous British website (which shall remain linkless) without her permission. Some of her photos, especially the landscapes and multi-self portraits, are quite good. You can see why someone would want to pinch them…
Ian seems to have noticed that I have aspirations of turning this site into something of a photo blog (plog? phlog?) and sent me a link to stuckincustoms.com as something to aim for. It’s a nice site, although I think the HDR technique is slightly overused. I prefer it when I look at a picture and can’t figure out why it looks slightly surreal, rather than when the overwhelming feature is the post-editing and I have to spend time getting past that before I can look at the real image.
But, as I say – it’s a nice site with some pretty exceptional images, especially “Icelandic Navy in Dock” and “Purple Skies of Malaysia“
