This collection of older color photographs by Fred Herzog is simply stunning. Is use of light and perspective creates an incredible story within each image.

Cole Rise
08/18/10
I’ve had Cole’s site sitting open on my laptop for weeks. Every so often I scroll back through it again just to take in the images. They’re deceptively simple. When you look closely, you can tell they’re highly-crafted in post. He also plays with a lot of texture. It doesn’t always work for me, but when it does, it’s powerful.
He shares a lot of b-side and in-progress photos on his blog as well, so be sure to check that out. This fifty & two thirds post, for example, has two of my new favorite photos.
Remembering Anchorage in the Seventies
by Stephen Cysewski
07/28/10
This entire photoset by Stephen Cysewski is amazing. It makes me not simply want to visit Anchorage, but wish I could go back in time and visit it in that very specific period. It looks rough, at times dreary, but at the edge of a frontier: a life without pretense. It draws me in and makes me want to craft the stories that go behind the photos.
Be sure to check out his blog and flickr for a lot of other wonderful photos.

This is Maxine, my grandmother, my dad’s mother. I’ve always loved this photo I took of her on a trip back to Ohio in 2008 and I’m really excited that it was chosen to be part of Pictory’s latest showcase: Life Lessons.

hello mopho
cell phone photography
07/08/10
Just over a year ago I started a little photo project that I then called, Daily Interestingness. Well, at this point it’s not always daily, but still going strong.
I’ve moved it to its own site (instead of a flickr set) under the title: hello mopho.
Some of my recent favorites are above.
In the Air
by Ryan Booth
06/14/10
I love this short from Ryan Booth that he shot out of an airplane window. Also, read the accompanying blog post Airplane Quiet and check out the photos with it. I love the color and tone of them and his remarks on flying.
“We are miles up in the air hurtling at nearly 700 feet per second. Even though air travel is relatively routine for us, the reality is that I am engaging in an activity that only the smallest fraction of humans have ever been able to do. I am seeing clouds in a way that almost no one has seen them. I am traveling faster than most human beings have ever traveled.” ~Airplane Quiet

Photographs by Ole Martin

Ole Martin is an excellent designer. He recently started taking photos and using a simple microsite to display them. He has a great eye and I love his post-processing.
The two featured above are Opera Wall Pattern and My Neighborhood.
Explosion
by Ryan Behner
01/15/10
I think Ryan experiments more than any other photographer I know, to great results. A shot like this makes you simply say: “wow”. For the record, I’m pretty sure that’s a self-portrait. Correction: it’s not him. He was lying down in the snow to take the shot.
Be sure to check out his long-running photo-blog: Ghostman on Third.
Risk & Metal: iPhone Wallpaper
11/29/09
I randomly made a couple iPhone Wallpapers for myself this morning and thought I’d share them.
The first, Risk is a bit inspired by this Andy Rutdledge post (and corresponding desktop wallpapers), though my desire to remind myself to take risks is somewhat more personal in nature.
The second, Metal is based off a photo I took this morning with my phone for my hello mopho photo blog.

Kalle Gustafsson
10/11/09
I don’t remember how I came across Gustafsson’s site, but the work is fantastic. I love the somewhat vintage, yet over-processed style on a lot of the fashion/beauty shoots. Also, check out the the Travel section.
Pictory
10/10/09
I’m definitely a fan of awesome splash pages so Pictory, the new venture by Laura Brunow Miner caught my eye. Laura was the former editor of JPG Magazine and also part of flickr at one point, so it’ll be fun to see what she’s come up with.
Iceland Ring Road
by Nick Onken
09/29/09
Photographer Nick Onken posted a new photo story and accompanying blog post about his recent trip to Iceland. The whole set is gorgeous as always. I love the way he uses natural light.
Get to know Congressman Jared Polis’ puppy
by photographer David Mejias
09/21/09
I love this set by David Mejias of Jared Polis’ new puppy—especially the doorway shot.
Seth Smoot
Photographer
09/10/09
There is a hard-to-describe, but unifying epic quality to the tone and framing of Seth Smoot’s photos. They at once feel very familiar to me, and then, on further observation, hit me with the depth and detail he’s captured.
Take some of the examples above: I first notice the bison, and then the breadth of landscape and mountains behind them. It’s surreal, almost like two distinct photos in a strange harmony. In the portrait to the right, I love his lighting and the way he’s posed his subject, but I’m even more captured by the way the surroundings match the colors in the subject. Beautiful stuff.

iPhone Wallpapers
by Phil Coffman
09/06/09
I’ve followed Phil Coffman’s blog for a while and long been a fan of his photography, so it’s no surprise that I’m completely in love with this new iPhone Wallpaper series that he’s released.
Desk.

Finally got around to taking some photos of the crazy office Andrew Hyde and I built. You can see the full set. I liked this particular shot for some reason.
Yes, I do draw on my desk with permanent marker. Also, you can see the photos I’m using for desktop backgrounds here and here.

I love the style of James P. Mores – both his portraits and landscape/editorial work. Click through the portfolio. So much goodness.

Kim Høltermand’s site has been sitting open on my desktop for a while. Absolutely wonderful, eerie images.
