Surf…

…blue, forceful, mighty, powerful, abundant, swell, spray, roaring, spume, energy, strength, electrification, verve, exhilaration, potency, turbulent, active…there is nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it is sent away…

Manly in Pink…

…as you know, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month.  Kat & Muse posted inspiring images from husband, Bob Carey, who began his project in 2003 when his wife was diagnosed with breast cancer.  Called the Tutu Project, Bob shoots images of himself wearing a  pink tutu in different locations.  “Prints of Bob can be purchased individually or as a compilation in his book, Ballerina. All net proceeds go to fund the research of breast cancer.”

“Oddly enough, her cancer has taught us that life is good, dealing with it can be hard, and sometimes the very best thing–no the only thing–we can do to face another day is to laugh at ourselves, and share a laugh with others.” -Bob Carey

The Edge Effect

While hiking and driving the areas in California’s Joshua Tree National Park, where the low Sonoran desert meets the high Mojave desert, Daniel Kukla caught glimpses of the border space created by the meeting of distinct ecosystems in juxtaposition, referred to as the Edge Effect in the ecological sciences. To document this unique confluence of terrains,  Daniel hiked out a large mirror and painter’s easel into the wilderness and captured opposing elements within the environment. Using a single visual plane, this series of images unifies the play of temporal phenomena, contrasts of color and texture, and natural interactions of the environment itself.
