Sarcomical

The Eye Candy Returns...

I have a lot of incredibly talented contacts on Flickr and am part of some Flickr groups whose pools are so continually flowing with genius and gorgeous inspiration that I love to share some of what I find there with you. Here are just a few of those that have struck me most recently as especially beautiful and thought-provoking, both as a photographer and as someone who can get completely drawn into the world of an intriguing photo. Enjoy. (Click the links for credits and to see the full-sized images. Oh, and p.s. - BIG CHANGES coming to Sarcomical soon!)

This little game was actually pretty fun. So fun, in fact, I think I'm going to come up with more questions and do it again soon.

I took this list of questions from the place I first saw someone do it, and what you're supposed to do is pretty simple. First, go to Flickr. Then, open the Big Huge Labs' mosaic-maker in a second tab in the same window so you can easily switch back & forth. Now you're going to fill in your answers, then do a photo search in Flickr for each word or phrase. You must then choose one photo from the FIRST PAGE ONLY of your results that most resonates with you and then enter each photo url into the mosaic-maker. Once you finish, hit create and there you have it. (And at any given time, the results can be different based on Flickr photo activity. Cool.)

See the Eye Candy, Eat it All Up...

Here are some of my more recently-favorited photographs on Flickr. Images like these help to re-ignite my passion for the camera and remind me why I began taking photos in the first place. I've been in a reevaluation process for the past few weeks regarding how to maintain my original and true desires from behind the camera...WHAT I want to create and WHY. Whether you are a photographer or simply someone who feels moved by stunning images, these artists definitely give you something to enjoy and appreciate.
