James Merrell

Looking for inspiration for the shoot, I rediscovered James Merrell through one of the very first blogs I've ever loved, This is Glamorous where I can always find a wealth of delicious visuals and introductions. I chose these above because they relate somehow to what I'd love to achieve in my jewelry work and I wish in this shoot...I love his easy way with the camera and his subtle, earthy and often exotic vignettes, a natural disorder which is compelling in it's disheveled-ness. They offer such a beautiful way in---I wish I could live inside them.

Whose are these?

Discovery while looking up George Lois the other day: Class-O-Matic, a private blog (whoops) designed for a design professor's design students. Outtasight verbiage and so much to see, I'd say it's a hotbed of inspiration. It's like being his/her student. I'd like to be his/her student.

Agree, agree (!) with the post of April the 12th about the amazing art direction for the film Marie Antoinette --I had downloaded some of these as screen savers off of the "official site" just after watching the film, a film, which, I had watched twice in a row--the feathers-I mean come on...
Tim Walker's photographs, below, posted on class-o-matic on June the 15th. Loving these muted and sometimes messy fairytale allusions, esp. The Princess and the Pea inspiration for that first photo.Thanks Class-O-Matic.
