Yummy Sugary Treats Organized By Color

http://www.thesewoods.com
When I saw this food series photographed by Emily Blincoe I felt like I was in heaven. My body literally shut down and I jolted to the local supermarket. Well, not quite, but a boy can dream! The Austin based photographer grouped different candies based on their color, and photographed them. Isn't this series fun? (ABOVE) I'm going for the lollipop and the watermelon candy in the center. I think I want the Air Head too!

(1) The pink is super cute. I wonder what the animal ones in the center are? Any guesses? Definitely want some Starburst.

(2) I'll take the Tangerine candies, and the lollipop. Not a huge fan of orange Tick-Tac's. Which candy is calling you?

(3) I haven't had the banana candies in such a long time! Looking at this photograph brings back my childhood.

(4) I'm craving some apple Jolly Ranchers. I wonder what type of candy the soldiers are?

(5) Well I love the color. In case you haven't noticed, blue is a BAD favorite! I'll take the Toblerone, and the Black Jack gum. Are those Blow Pops?!

(6) I really like grape flavor, so basically anything here will do. I'm reaching for the Laffy Taffy as I write!

(7) Hmm. Not a big licorice fan, but I must say that I love this composition. I've never tried Mars Planets. Are they any good?

(8) OMG. Lindt, Ferrero Rocher, Twix, Reese's, Kisses, Hershey's, and gold coins! I literally can't contain my emotions right now!

A Well Traveled World

http://www.katerentz.com
I have a bit of a weak spot when it comes to travel photography. Kate Rentz's photographs of her international travels are making me beam from cheek to cheek! Looking through her photographs, I literally feel like I'm in a different part of the world for a few seconds. The Ohio-born, California-based girl photographs not only travel, but also fashion, lifestyle, portraits, etc. (ABOVE) The country of Argentina is gorgeous. The picturesque mountains, crystal clear blue water, and white sand beaches are making me crave for a beach getaway to the country right now!

(1) Big Sur, California. Look at the mountains for a second. Don't you feel like the rest of the photograph would just be desert? The amazing blue color of the water stands out against the very martin like mountains.

(2) I wish I knew where this photograph was taken! I did a post on the Grand Canyon a little while ago and this photograph gives me that vibe. What I find particularly beautiful about this photograph is the vastness of the landscape, cloud shadows, and the different variation in colors of the mountains. Can I say colorblocked

(3) This looks like it was taken in the good old South West, any ideas? I'm not an avid camper, however, I'd consider camping more often if the camp grounds had views like this.

(4) Desert vibe. I feel like we're in Arizona here? The way in which this photograph was taken looks like Kate was on the road. Makes me sort of want to go on a road trip.

(5) Every good traveler has got to have a travel journal. I have a good feeling my journal would start with words and quickly change into architecture, design, and fashion sketches.

(6) Finally, a photograph with a location! A volcano in the gorgeous Costa Rica. Costa Rica's beauty lies in it's lush landscapes. What a place to explore some forests, perfect place to whip out your designer boots (hehe).

(7) Guess I spoke to soon! This location has a Northeast feel, any ideas? I really like the look of moss growing on the trees. Can I just say, sledding here would be quite the challenge!

(8) Death Valley, California. This is one of my favorite of Kate's photographs. It's so eerie. It's such a simple shot, yet says so much about the landscape. Doesn't seem like much of a place to explore! What do you think of Kate Rentz's photographs?

From The Rooftops Of Dubai

http://dedmaxopka.livejournal.com/
The city of Dubai is a stunning concrete jungle. It's a city full of modern architecture that tries and push the envelope of what a human can envision, and build. Photographer Vadim Makhorov, was able to capture the vitality of Dubai's iconic architecture from the rooftops of some its tallest buildings. All I can say is wow! Makhorov sure has some guts to stand on the tops of these buildings without any safety harness. (ABOVE) That body of water looks so cool from up here! The shape, color, and size from such a high angle is out of this world. (BELOW 1) I'm shaking just looking at this photograph. Words cannot describe how nervous I'd be to take this photograph. (BELOW 2) The architecture is not the only incredible feat in this city. The design of its bridges, is quite impressive. Is that a train on the far left bridge? (BELOW 3) My guess is that this photograph is taken from a helicopter, because the tallest building in the world seems to be looked down upon. The city truly is a concrete jungle! Where's central park (hehe)? (BELOW 4) I'm loving the design of these buildings directly in front. It's the colorblocking of architecture. (BELOW 5) My eyes are being drawn to that curved building. The shape of the buildings allows wind to pass around it, to keep the building from swaying. (BELOW 6) The Burj Al Arab, a hotel that has its own island. (BELOW 7) Dubai at night, it truly is a magical city. What do you think of Vadim Makhorov's photography?

New York City Placed In The Grand Canyon

http://guspetro.com/merge/
Swiss based artist, Gus Petro's three part photography series titled "Empty", "Dense", and "Merge" explores two completely different areas, then brings them together. The series is an incredible example of imagination, and beauty. In 2012, Petro travelled to the USA and took photographs of the Grand Canyon. The Grand Canyon is peaceful, and a natural creation. After exploring the Grand Canyon Petro flew to NYC. NYC on the other hand is manmade, urban, and anything but empty. In "Merge", Petro takes the big apple and sets it in one of the most magnificent places on Earth. The result is shear genius. (ABOVE) The dense, and highly populated NYC sits in the Grand Canyon. (BELOW 1) Overlooking the skyline. Without the tree to the left the landscape has a very space like feel. (BELOW 2) The city is so small compared to the beauty of the Grand Canyon. (BELOW 3) Man on a horse looking at NYC? That path is quite narrow. (BELOW 4) By far my favorite photograph in the series. An empty NYC surrounded by such magnificent mountains. What do you think of the series?
