Leon Krige; amazing photo art

My very resourceful friend, CG, told me about an exhibition of photographer and architect, Leon Krige, he attended (in Johannesburg). The photos are striking an truly amazing. 

I could not find more info on the technique, but according to CG a number of smaller photos are combined in a mosaic like fashion to form the very high resolution final product, as I said; truly amazing.

Apparently one can only fully grasp the detail and work that goes into these pieces when seeing it in real life. I for one would love to.

Dear Photograph, a powerful and moving site

Never have I been so moved by a site. It made me cry, made me smile - so captivating, it will be difficult to tear yourself away from your computer screen.

The concept behind Dear Photograph is brilliant, yet so simple with powerful and moving results though. Taylor Jones came up with the idea for people to find an old snapshot, return to the spot, hold up the pic and take a new snap - then add a heartfelt note. One year later; a book, millions of visitors, hundreds of photographs (and also their stories). Dear Photograph has taken off beyond Taylor's beliefs, and affected and spoke to so many people.

I am warning you, before you visit the site have tissues handy, some of the stories had me in tears, yet others brought a smile to my face. Dear Photograph is great site by a man whose idea has helped many to re-visit, remind and re-discover fond memories of people, places and occasions. 

Whether it makes you cry, smile, hug a loved one or even go on a hunt for old snaps - I hope you got something out of Dear Photograph as well.

Getty Images, striking ad

No, this is not an idea for one of my future Halloween costumes. It is in fact image 549 of 873, making up a video emulating someone's life.

Striking celeb photographs

I'm not a celebrity gossiper / follower, but some of these celebrity photographs are very striking - and I thought worth sharing.
