hamish gregory

Stumbling across this photo gallery has made my day... and has made the desire to get over to Kenya even greater!

Hamish Gregory was a past volunteer of Hands of Help (who we have mentioned here) and what a talented photographer he is! His Mzungu in Africa series is breathtaking, a must view.

Thanks hamish!

simply something fun

Fun photos from Vincent Bousserez found via happy cavalier. Pretty cool, and very clever....

just so you all know

sometimes you just need to hear it, and today is Friday...... so now you'll all be ready for a wonderful weekend! We're having a master planning weekend, so hopefully we can report back next week with an update on the Secondary School for Girls, in Katolo. 

This photo is from the beautiful blog nectar & light. 

We hope it makes you feel special, because we love all of you who stop by to read our thoughts, ideas and general ramblings! 

through a foreign lens

Through a Foreign Lens is a photography exhibition we heard about through Frankie Magazine. The photo journalist Jay Gunning has been travelling around the world taking some beautiful photos. The photos all highlight the issues of poverty and justice.

The photos were on exhibition yesterday, the 2nd of October at 22 Petrie Terrace, Brisbane. Did anyone see it? Any reports would be great to hear. Oh and the best thing about this exhibition is that all profits from the night were being donated by the artist to the wonderful Oak Tree Foundation, we've mentioned them here before.

hot

It is hot in Sydney today...... really, really hot. Who would rather be here?

me!

The beautiful Polaroid from here.

facade

What a talented photographer Tom Evangelidis is. His exhibition Facade celebrates the colourful patchwork of architectural styles from Prague, Bucharest, Hanoi, St Petersburg, Sophia, Istanbul and Havana. Not your typical postcard images, he captures honest details - peeling paint of once beautiful homes, concrete monstrosities.... each work revealing intricate links to politics, culture and class.

The book is also beautiful! The exhibition is on at the Depot Gallery from Sept 2 - 6

tennis

We all love playing tennis, and we're always talking about getting ourselves organised to play regularly. Well I've finally got myself organised and am playing every Saturday. It's great, and surely as they say practice makes perfect, or even just a bit better? 

The lovely ladies in these photos look far too elegant to be playing tennis. I might try their outfits this week! The photos are a bit blurry but there is something so interesting about them, old photos can do that i suppose. We found them here and here. 

a new blog to watch

Sophie Daley the photographer and bikini designer, previously mentioned here has a new blog. It's called my lens of love and is a collection of photography, design, moments, art, music and people that inspire Sophie. It's sure to become a daily read, as with everything the talented Sophie does it looks beautiful. 

Viewville

Viewville is an online source for gallery quality photography prints. It is a surprise to find prints that are so affordable and still unique. These photos are so beautiful and are from the personal collections of professional photographers.

Here's my favourite called fenestration...

car. bus. bike

These photos show the space needed to transport the same number of people. By car, bus or bike...... very cool huh? Something that should be shared around for all to see. Found this at A Cup Of Jo, the images are from Germany. Smart Germans.

baaaaah....

Have you seen the blog by Jen Gotch? Its called a Girl and her Polaroid and she seems like a really cool person and also a great photographer. The photos above are self portraits of Jen with a sheeps mask on... how can someone look good with a sheeps mask on their head? Her website is also great, check it out here.

holga - i want one

There is something so cool about photos that are taken on a Holga camera. For a cheap plastic camera they produce quite amazing photos..... then again these photographers are probably incredibly talented.

More of these holga shots here and here.

friday

Its almost the weekend and i want to be doing this.... if only it was summer.

Wim Wenders

My boss just put this book in front of me on my desk to have a look at. It is amazing, the photos are all beautiful and are literally from all over the world.

On Alexanderplatz, Berlin

Wall in Paris, Texas

So I think this Wim Wenders is a little too talented, author, photographer, filmaker...... the list goes on.
