Using film that was once used as military surveillance to identify areas of camoflauge in war torn areas, photographer RIchard Mosse captures parts of the Republic of Congo with kodak aerochrome infrared color film. Mosse employs it in a way that brings exagerated beauty to an area that's struggled with horrendeous massacres and systematic violence — giving the viewer a look through dis-jointed rose colored glasses. Gorgoues and disturbing.

Marina Molares was kind enough to send me an email full of links to interesting and creative people she thought I should check out. At the bottom of her email as an after thought she added her blog where she posts all of her work; collages, photographs and designs. I think I rather post about her today. :)
I am so exicted to post these pics I took of my visit with jewelry designer, Marisa Haskell. Oh man. I was so enamoured with Marisa and her studio. She was so warm and generous! I could have stayed all day chatting with her and her friend and neighbor Ali Golden (you can see a peek of Ali's gorgeous frocks in the background below). I hope these images get across how tranquil and wonderful Marisa's shop is. Her little shop-studio space is probably about 6 by 15 feet of wall to wall jewels and supplies. It sits in Oakland off Telegraph Ave -- but with its wood lined walls you would think you were in a tiny cabin in the woods somewhere. It totally represents Marisa's beautiful style; bohemian beauty.
I was first turned on to Marisa's jewels through one of my very favorite shops here in SF, Reliquary. I bought one piece, then another...then another. I'm sold for sure and once you see her work I bet you will be too.
You can see Marisa's online shop here.
Thanks Mariss! <3
I briefly mention Ali Golden in my visit to Marisa Haskell's studio...you can see her pieces in the background above if you look hard.
I am kind of in love with her gauzy, saturated pieces. I hope to bring you a visit with her in the coming months. Her studio is right next to Marisa's and she was a total peach. Until then get a load of how gorgeous her line is.
Irene Suchocki the photographer begind Eye Poetry takes dream like photographs. I spotted her Your Wild Horses collection on Krisatomic's blog and just fell into her site immediately.
Take a minute and see how beautiful each and every photograph is...I decided to just post the horses (because of the obvious :) and well, there were just too many to choose from. Take a look.
