Some Pictures I’ve Liked volume 41

Thirteen to inspire you this week, from Paris, New York, Portugal, and all points between.

• J-30 from Jean-Michel Berts; wonderful tone and depth
• Follow the yellow stripe…. from a view from the 6oh lens; great perspective on an abandoned Mini.
• battlestar organica from (bea); a subtle dream of flowers.
• Feminino, Arrabida - Portugal from SAKANA BLOG; a warm summer moment.
• a striped affair from small beginnings; a playful explosion of socks (note that none of the are matched…)
• Ethereal from Jon Swainson; they seem to march on forever; this is evocative of Michael Kenna.
• The east coast from The streets are alive; a wharf from two centuries back; I expect someone to whisper from the shadows, “Call me Ishmael…”
• sunday morning girl from optic anarchy; though it has that bright glow of a lazy Sunday with the newspaper, the textures and tones hint at something darker; a very evocative image.
• Sun + Dud from HELLO; I love the play of color between the sunflower and the abstract Polaroid “dud”
• Did our Tears have a Purpose After All? from Diary of a Superfluous Man; wow.
• talking with alix from rion.nu; sometimes you learn something from these photoblogs, like how paper mache is used to clean the Pantheon in Paris in this photo essay. (And don’t forget to click the links to Alix’s own photography, you won’t be disappointed!)
• Clouds and Smartweed from A Walk Through Durham Township; great interplay of lavender and blue.
• Pacific St-Atlantic Ave station ~ 9:55am from Express Train; a wonderfully captured moment (though I feel a bit jaded after reading The Onion’s coverage of Dave and Julie)
