Tyler Gray makes Red Baron

This is a process post, and can I just scream out loud I love seeing process? It feels so secret, so intimate, like you’re peeking behind the curtain that is off limits. Alright first of all Westside Studio is a collective of photographers based in Toronto, and within that Tyler Gray shared his process for a Red Baron Beer ad. Excellent! From the Westside blog: I received... Read More

Josef Shulz

Mr. Shultz works out of charming Düsseldorf and is one of the best architectural photographers I have ever seen. It’s impossible to tear my eyes away. Ok let’s get this straight, this isn’t easy. To make an enormous object like a building look wafer thin, or chunkier than it is, or to appear completely foreign to its background is so precise a skill that I can’t... Read More

Perttu Saksa

Perttu Saksa is a Finnish photographer working from his base in Helsinki. He’s got an impressive list of exhibitions under his belt and has worked for clients like Greenpeace, Nokia, Sony BMG, Universal Music, Waterhouse & Coopers, and a litany of editorial publications. I love seeing these out-of-context, especially since the majority of these seem to be editorial... Read More

Unknown PSU

For the longest time I’ve wanted to snoop around this enormous University that I’ve called home for about three years now. Nothing affords this better than a Sunday during summer session. A couple Sunday’s ago I took about four hours and went into 3 buildings I’ve never had a reason to venture into: Science building 1 & 2, and the interim XSB Music... Read More

Shaun Bloodworth

Shaun Bloodworth loves the electronic scene. He’s just released a film chronicling the electronic underground in the northern UK. It’s called Minds Locked Together. Beyond this though, Shaun is a photographer with a consistently eye-catching style. He recently graced the pages of Human Resources with a great little spot about his new film. I do have a deep affection... Read More

Bradley Castaneda

Bradley Castaneda is from our sister city to the north, Seattle. His work first caught my eye when I saw a series of photographs shot while flying over the Yukon Territory. Interesting, I’m curious where he was headed. Does one really fly over the Yukon from Seattle to Alaska? Perhaps he was heading to Tuktoyaktuk! The rest of his work is delicate & thoughtful. I appreciate... Read More

National Parks all over my face

Last week I returned from a trip that has seeped into my face and I can’t quite scratch it out (it’s allergy season). Though I’ve lived in the West my entire life I’d lever been to Yosemite, and it seemed like a good idea to ditch the recent rains of Portland for something epic and warm, but without having to climb on a plane. First of all Yosemite is ridiculously... Read More

Miniseum—hit the road kid

I’m on the road! As before in the Miniseum series, each image links back to where I found it—a clicky rabbit trail. As of today I am in Yosemite, tomorrow will be a summit attempt on Half-dome, and at this point I have travelled from Portland > Redding > Nappa > San Francisco > Yosemite. After I leave the Wawona Hotel here near the Park I’ll roll on up... Read More

Blue Hole Free Dive

The second largest blue hole in the world is in the Bahamas, and people free dive it. Crazy people, people who clearly want to die, and look awesome while doing it. Blue holes are basically underwater sinkholes, like the one we recently saw in Guatemala, associated with rainwater infiltrating bedrock in the Pleistocene era. This particular Blue Hole is called Dean’s Blue... Read More

Miniseum—Spaced out in Bavaria

This is a collection of images that represents how I feel today—each image links back to its source where I found it, it would be a shame not to give credit to those who archive such things for us to trifle through (an hopefully it will provide you with a couple new resources as well). So this is a Miniseum, get it? The following miniseums will be longer, so this is just a lil... Read More
