Default Favourite pictures from someone else - 07-23-2009, 22:22

...be it a flickr contact, a professional photographer with a homepage of their own (no spam, of course), someone you know, or a newspaper publication, if you find a picture you like, share it!


I'll just start...

Oh, this thread I could fill in seconds Thanks for starting it Hsing!



This is from a photographer called Nick Brandt. I just love his work.

Two great works, and I notice they are both cats!

Weird and weirder. Salvadore Dali photgraphed by David Bailey (1972). I think it sums up the characters of both a great artist and a great photographer.

I remember how a classmate, when our arts teacher introduced us to Dali's works, kept avoiding her gaze very demonstratively - and when he asked her what her behaviour was about, she explained Dali was an "evil, crazy mind, mad, crazy - keep him away from me!" He made it a point to chase her a bit down the corridor after class with a book of Dali prints, which she fled, in all earnest, like a vampire a cross. They were both crazy.

Where's the rest of you?


Here's another one... strangely, it also has the moon in it.

...these winter pictures, a nice inviting view for a mental cool off...

Even though I am a little overfed with HDR, these are beautiful
