Mystical dreams in an unconcious world...

2010-05-25T18:51:00.000-07:00

Mystical dreams in an unconcious world was inspired my Carl Jung's theory on dream archetypes and the symbols seen in our unconcious state. It was heaps of fun to create and shoot but thank goodness its over!

I'v completly fallen in love with blurry photography! These polaroids by Aaron Feaver are beautiful and in a slight way have a dark feeling... I love the colours although I have never really been a blue person (some shades want to make me puke), but these images are inspiring me even to the point were blue might not be so bad after all!

Have a happy weekend, eat heaps of chocolate like im going to!

Raphaël Vicenzi artwork

2009-09-27T16:48:00.000-07:00

These amazing images are created by Raphaël Vicenzi, I love how they are so free and looks like he just drops ink onto a page, there must but an amazing skill to this! Well if I dropped ink onto paper it certainly would not look like this!

I’m really tempted to purchase a print to hand on my already over crowded wall! But maybe we will wait as online purchases have been getting a little out of hand lately....

Happy Monday..... yay back to a computer that will let me upload images i have so many pretty ones to share.....

2009-09-24T11:53:00.000-07:00

Yess!!!! the week of working 5.45am shifts is almost over, today I slept in wayyyy overtime so I’m looking and feeling like a bit of a mess really but hey its not like anyone can expect much more at this time of the morning.

Well I have a mammoth amount of lovely images to share but of course this computer wont let me up load them (secret work comp, really I do nothing at work so I should stop complaining!) so I will have to wait and share them with you this weekend. But it will be worth the wait I promise xx

have a lovely weekend, if your living in the sun (i hate you!!!! no really I’m just jealous NZ is FREEEEEEZING!!!! atm)

David Hamilton's Beautiful Photography

2009-08-27T16:00:00.000-07:00

I recently discovered David Hamilton’s work; there is hardly any info about him or photographs of his work on the net, which I feel makes his photography all the more mysterious.

He moved from London to France (o so glam!) and then worked for Elle mag, there is some major controversy about his photos and the young half naked models in them, but I think they are beautiful images and the colour pallet and hippie aesthetic is stunning.

Pink thursday..
