Looking Up With Vertical Horizon

Vertical Horizon

Here’s a reminder to look up occasionally! I love these particular photo series of Hong Kong buildings from Romain Jacquet-Lagrèze – it’s such a simple concept, looking up instead of ahead, but he took these pix with such artistry you can’t help staring at them, the colours and shapes are amazing! Here are some of…

Tiny People Go Swimming – Miniature Underwater Photography by Jason Isley

UW-3

I love diving and on my last Manado dive trip, I have been working on improving my underwater photography from ‘what-was-that’ blurriness to generally decent shots with the occasional accidental Wow shot. But I don’t think I could have been as inventive as Jason Isley, co-founder and MD of Scubazoo, who brought various miniature toy…

Weird and wonderful critters in Manado Waters

2012-11-14 14.26.53

So I’m back from a great week of diving in Manado! It was a great week off where all I had to think about was eating, sleeping, diving, diving and more diving. Manado is a fabulous dive spot, especially those who like underwater photography and love the little weird and wonderful creatures unique to this…

New York from Day to Night with Stephen Wilkes

There are panoramic 360 degree shots, but how about 24-hour timelapse shots? Stephen Wilke’s photography is just that, where he blends together quite seamlessly shots of places over a 24-hour time period, so you can literally see the transformation of that place from day to night. Quite spectacular! Some shots below, more of Stephen Wilke’s…

i first saw this off Design Crush and it brought me to 365q, a website by Julian Bialowas, graphic designer and photographer extraordinaire who did something very simple for 1 whole year (he just finished recently!) – took a great photo and an inspirational quote, put them together in the most beautiful way possible, and…

Around The World In The Comfort Of Your Room

Wouldn’t this be a cool idea for a boutique hotel room? Or maybe your own bedroom if you’re adventurous… Instead of paintings and wallpaper, you project scenes of different places on it, immersing yourself in the beauty without having to leave your room… It’d definitely make me want to stay in that hotel for a…

Write Me An Imaginary Postcard On My Fake Travels

Fake Travel Tumblr

Unable to afford a trip, the Fake Travel tumblr blog was born, wherein the blog owner happily indulges in trips via google maps. In particular, I love the sentiment of this post, I quote: The best/worst part about Fake Travel is that you find about about places that you never even knew existed. Yup, bringing…

Hello, I'd like a Table For One

TableForOne

The thing about travelling alone, is that it can get a little lonely without anyone familiar to talk to, especially when you’re in a place where you don’t speak the language – gesticulating and smiles only do so much. Of course that’s the impetus to reach out and make new friends, but it never hurts…
