Rec: Storm Chaser

Mike Olbinski makes awesome timelapses of storms across the USA.
You can watch his Vimeo videos here: mikeolbinski.com/timelapse/

On his web-site you can also find photos and blog notes about storms. Very fascinating how much he knows about this subject and how close he goes to document it.
Find everything about it here: mikeolbinski.com/storms/
 
 
Who doesn't like a good lightning bolt?

Dark Room: I'm Like A Bird

Kacper Kowalski takes pictures of our beautiful Earth from bird's perspective.
"Both as a pilot and a photographer, he takes aerial pictures of natural and urban environments of his native Poland." (www.kacperkowalski.pl)

Is it a lake or an eye? It can be anything, right?

Runway: Winter Princess

I'm trying to make this feel like winter, when it's so warm and grey outside. Yay for decorations all over the town, cookies, morning frost and 'Frozen'. When we don't have real snowflakes... So, princess look is the logical sequel. Here are some ideas:

Cro: Ingenious Posters

Our neighbour Nikola Puzigaća (Serb) designes very cool posters. Clever and funny. About the situation in the country, bitter-sweet phenomenon of life and emotions etc. Even movie posters.

Walkman: Modern Pop Saviours

 
Pop these days and all the shit on the radio... Yeah, yeah. Well stop complaining, turn off the radio and listen to what you like!
Here are some great artists I love. Modern pop saviours. Tasteful electronic music with original lyrics, not trying under all circumstances to be mainstream. I really wish they become big (some of them already did).
 
1) Lorde
Thank god, she made it.
 
 
2) Banks
So obsessed with her lately. Godess.
 
 
3) John Grant
One of the most unique artist ever.
 
 
4) Say Lou Lou
Their first album is on the way... Icons.
 
 
5) The Neighbourhood
Quite known outside, sadly not in my country.
 
 
6) Bipolar Sunshine
I don't know why's he waiting with an album?!?
 
 
7) Hurts
For the end, coz I think their first album was a masterpiece, second is nothing special (still better than most).
 
 
Do you have any other suggestions? As you can see, I prefer darker pop, nothing "Because I'm happyyyyy...", with good rythm and nice vocals also. I'm demanding.

Dark Room: Psychedelic Abstraction

Zak Alexander Rose is a Boston based visual artist, primarily dealing with photography. I like his psychedelic photos. They inspire me to experiment more with light and reflections etc. Though I have a few unposted experimental sessions (will post something soon I hope).

Rose runs an interesting Tumblr blog. Wise thoughts: "There is a certain freedom which is found through the various process heavy forms of abstraction. A big critique on abstraction in photography, is that people get hung up on the process, and think that since it is so experimental it must be about image making. In some cases yes, in some cases it is just a means of a visual solution to an idea. There is worth in both forms of representation, none is above the other, ever."
