These just speak for themselves…a selection of 25 photos that compare past snapshots of buildings, locations, structures, and people with the present day scene. There are hundreds of photos just like this in the Looking Into the Past Flickr group by Jason Powell.

Stunning double exposure photographs from Fiona’s flickr photostream. She has a great collection of photos with stunning color and light and I highly recommend a little trip over to her flickr stream to get some color in your life. This overcast grey sky is really getting to me! Check her photos out here.

I stumbled across the photographer Brian Ulrich. First off I love the work beacuse of the simple beauty of forms and for the minimalist nature. Every image has distinct lighting that gives them great moods. For those of you from the Akron / Canton area, there are some images that you will know (above image is from Rolling Acres Mall). Overall it is a great series, his other work is also great, check it out.

Super cool scarves from Phillipe Roucou for Reborn.

I don’t know about you, but I could never get my iPhone to take such stunning pictures. Nick Maggio’s portfolio of pictures captures such beautiful hues and elements of his life and all of them were taken with his iPhone camera. Why? Because it’s the camera he carries. See more of his inspiring work here.

I highly recommend reading this article from Newsweek about the Most Controversial Retouching Scandals of the Decade. The Madonna picture was definitely the most shocking to me, but to see all the pictures next to each other really blows me away more than I expected. I know retouching happens, but to see that the actual celebrities photographed say they’re ridiculous was the most shocking. I assumed they would know about it or would be the ones demanding it! Read the full article about the celebrity’s reactions and the controversy here.

Really digging Andrés Yeah’s illustrated typography. This Ohio weather is just too grey for my liking and these colors definitely perked me up. I’m also loving the splatter and texture marks on a lot of his work. Really cool stuff! See more of his illustration, drawings, design and photography here.
