Poetic Sensibility

There is something I find so alluring about Matt Wisniewski's collages. 

The harmony between humans and landscape, proportion of shape and space, balance of emotions and silence, juxtaposition of soft and hard, mixture of movement and stillness, contrast of shallowness and depth... creating a lyrical and poetic sensibility to each work.

I could get lost in my imagination staring at one of these.

What Katie Ate.. I'll have

What Katie Ate has got to be one of the most delicious looking blogs out there, run by the uber talented Katie Quinn Davies who writes, cooks, styles and even photographs her own recipes.

Originally trained as a graphic designer, Katie has since worked as a freelance commercial photographer and and blogger, and will be launching her first book in 2012. (That's what the hoard of props are for).

Visit her blog here (not on an empty stomach), website here (for an overwhelming number of delicious photos), or make Sunday Morning Baked Eggs here (yummmm!).

My Little Fabric

Tartelette Fraise Rhubarbe from My Little Fabric on Vimeo.

This little video is so cute. I love how the rhubarb magically chops itself into bite-size pieces.

It's interesting how technology is so accessible these days - there are so many mediums we can use to express ourselves.

Found My Little Fabric on decor8 today. Her food photos are pretty amazing.

Mr Matt Biocich

My super talented friend Matt Biocich has FINALLY shared his website with us, and started a blog as well! Take a good look at his work here, or read his blog here :)

798

All these pics were taken at 798 Art District, Dashanzi, Beijing. It was an amazing space - I only went down a few of the streets and wished I could have stayed longer! There were sculptures dotted everywhere, graffiti on the walls, street after street of small art galleries, bookshops, design shops, artists' studios, photography studios and cafes. Photoshoots happening everywhere too, because of the cool scenery. There was so much to explore - my Mum and I got so lost we had to ask a policeman for directions with our (very) basic mandarin skills. All part of the adventure right? :)

Anna Williams

May have died and gone to food stylist heaven. How blissful do these pictures look? Photography by Anna Williams, more (a lot more) to swoon over here.

i love photos that capture a lifestyle rather than just being a product shot... can you imagine wearing these tights on a Sunday morning in a loft style home, holding a cup of coffee in your hands and scanning the newspaper over a late breakfast of poached eggs on toast?

soft, beautiful, (affordable) photos by alicia bock, purchasable here.
