this is obersee, a lake that is connected to the larger königssee, in the german state of bavaria. these lakes were formed by glaciers in the last ice age, and have the cleanest water in germany. it is quite possibly one of the most beautiful places i have ever seen! to see its location (and loads more photos) click here
we’re in the middle of a month long heatwave & right now i’m just a bit sick of it. south african summers have a way of really driving the point home in february/march (as if to say, haha you buggers! feel me while you can because soon you’ll be cursing winter and i’ll be laughing at you from the other side of the world). i much prefer summer’s more mild-mannered cousin, autumn – please come now.

hello my name is dev has a cool photo collection, and i chuckled at his profile description on flickr, “i’m addicted to the internet… i don’t think i’ve logged off since 1998.” yup. that pretty much sums up my sentiments, too.
indian maiden (c. 1920s) – unknown artist
i don’t wear red often enough, it always does something for the spirit.
little brother (1921) – norah neilson gray
i’m expanding on my daily painting posts a bit. making it more interesting for me, for you.
i have precious little time to do anything today, so i’m resorting to a shameless what i found on flickr recently post.

i agonized for about 5 seconds over whether i had posted about peter baker before (i’m pretty sure i haven’t, but my tagging can be sporadic). even if i have – these photographs warrant a second look. and a third & fourth etc. i just love them, especially his images of iceland (what is with me and iceland?). i could hardly pick my top photos to feature, so please go over to his flickr and have a gander.
he also sums up his sentiments on film vs digital quite nicely:
If it didn’t look a million times better,
these images are from raul gutierrez, all of photo studios in the east. those backdrops are radical!
on the beach is a collection of super large format images by american photographer richard misrach, taken from a room in a high rise hotel in hawaii over the course of 3 years.

I am a 22 year old graphic design student, born and raised in the dark forests of Sweden. I take pictures to remember, to preserve a passing moment and to distinguish interesting details from their otherwise average surroundings. I love traveling and take my best pictures when I travel. I have a fondness for all things vintage, typography and morning light. I have spent most of my life thinking I cannot draw. I am not yet convinced of the contrary, but at least now I am trying.
well said, hilda. her vintage items styled by colour are a dream…
