i know a lot of people have been complaining about the new flickr (oh don’t you hate it when a service you use just does something like that without warning) – but personally i only use it to browse other people’s work, and i am really enjoying the new photostreams. large, lovely pictures that i can get lost in. especially the work of photographer Robert Kaczyński, whose beautiful film photography will make you momentarily forget everything else.

it is possible that i haven’t left the apartment in two days, and it is also possible that i’m still wearing my pajamas at 1pm. so looking at these incredible photos by Nicola Odemann made me feel bad about all that, of course, but they also filled me with a desire to go climb a mountain. so i might just do that, but in the meantime i will be dreaming about the alps and snowy peaks and golden forests.
all photos by Nicola Odemann. check out her flickr and website.
the work of pilot & photographer Long Nguyen made me so jealous i almost punched my computer. kidding! kind of. after spending an age looking at his incredible photographs i had such a feeling of gratitude for the fact that he’s shared them, giving us a veritable bird’s eye view into his world.
As a professional pilot based in Seattle, Long spends most of his time crisscrossing the western United States … Flying provides him the opportunity to capture unusual views of the landscape, spectacular weather formations and other fresh perspectives few photographers ever experience. A self taught photographer, Long’s philosophy is to keep the image true to its original and to find the beauty in the subject. He likes to keep images clean, crisp and simple so they can tell the story in a single look.

ps: if you like aerial photography, check out Eyes Over Africa. also, spot the Twin Peaks shot.
you know, i swear a LOT in real life. i first spotted Fumio Watanabe‘s work on Kistina’s tumblr, and when i clicked through to his portfolio i actually said, out loud, “fucking hell.” i try to keep things clean on the blog because i know a lot of people don’t appreciate swearing (apologies for all the trash talk) – but i have to be honest with you, his work is so fucking mind blowing i consequently swore more than usual. but in a good way… a great way!
and it’s not digital guys – these are painted! either acrylic or gouache, i’m not sure (lots of japanese to google translate)
a gallery wall dedicated entirely to mountains seems like a good plan.
