Sorry for the longest hiatus we’ve ever had. We’ve been busy.
Slightly off-topic, but inspiring for any art director: check out Laurie Simmons photography.

Conceptual Documentarism by Wolfgang Stahl
I just came across the website of photographer Wolfgang Stahl (Munich).
Stahl’s consistent visual language is one of vibrant colours, stark geometric subjects and sublime composition. Usually minimalistic and unadulerated, streetscapes are interspersed with deliberately placed civilizational debris, while people appear as transfigured products of society, gazing into a distant nullity.
Seemingly purposeless and discarded objects become testament of the dichotomy that, even in the absence of man, he and his artefacts wield influence over our collective conscious and our psychological strata. All of it reminding us that beneath the aseptic surface of life and the symmetry forced upon our ancestral past, lies more than the sheen of our skewed perceptions and desires: namely, our repressed or actualized struggles to become who we are.

Carpe noctem
The latest project of the photographer Brooks Reynolds is called we are all sleeping giants. Strong images, if you like nightswimming, loneliness and Stephen King, don’t miss it.

Every little thing you do is magic…
Remember back in the times when everyting was magical? Back when you were building rivers and lakes out of mashed potatoes and sauce until your mother told you to stop? When you were playing in imaginary worlds even you were in your parents living room?
Seeing Magadelan Bors images reminded me of this time. Her photographs reveal hidden worlds that are only in our (and her) imagination. Thanks for showing them to us again and reminding us that everything can be magic if only you look right….

Tell a story…
A picture can tell a thousand words - and can get people emotionally involved in a topic, that otherwise would not be so compelling. Check out the David Griffin from the National Geographic on TED talking about the power of imagery. Even though his way of presenting could use some improving - he makes a point.
