I thought I’d see what all the hype was about with the Instagram app. Voila, my first Instagram photo! =D

It’s basically an app that has you take your photograph, insert a filter, then post to facebook, twitter, etc. Instant shiney beautiful filtered photo :3

If nothing, the app lets you post the image quite a bit easier then through the iphone camera and would be quite nice as a one a day project. And your iphone is likely to be on your person when you happen to go for a nice walk through town.

I retook the photo, showing another of the filter effects (they also add these border things) and the original file. If you try it and are attached to your original unedited images, make sure not to add the filter before saving the file. You can always choose an image and add a filter to it afterwards.

Bjoern Eweres directed these beautiful photographs of inside musical instruments for an advertising campaign for the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra. I love how soft the lighting is within the images, and how each one looks like a large room rather then a cramped space that could be held in human arms. Also, after seeing Miyazaki’s new film Arrietty, all I can see is a small person climbing, dancing, or sitting within these spaces.

Alessandro Calzolaro (known as Storvandre on Flicker) is a Service Delivery Manager.

His photography seems to encompass everything, landscapes, architecture, flowers, clouds, murals, statues, and more. However, the images that caught my eye were his photographs of old historic buildings and statues (which I have streamed on my iphone through flipbook’s “Art History Images” =D).

If you’ve noticed, I like a lot of artwork that can serve as an inspiration or reference for other art. Calzolaro’s artwork looks like it can serve not only as a beautiful photograph, but as documentation.
