Boxing himself him

This is a great photo! I searched and searched the internet to find out the artist's name and the best I could find was cameraguyy on Deviant Art. The photo title is "Penalty Box."

Beauty in simplicity

Handsome duck

This charming photograph of a duck admiring his own reflection was taken by an elusive English photographer called Villager Jim. He lives in a very beautiful part of England, the Peak District, and his photos show a mix of landscapes and animals. His site is worth a visit.

Contrasts

These photographs range from laid back pastels to very strong colours. They're very different, but they're all beautiful.

Sarah Moon

Sarah Moon used to be a model, known as Marielle Hadengue, who turned fashion photographer and changed her name in the 70s. I've never been a model (hahaha), but was very interested in photography in the 70s. Here are some examples of Moon's work in that decade. What impressed me was the ethereal quality of her photos, the large grain making them look like paintings. I still find them very beautiful.

Black & White fashion

When I did the post about 1950's fashion, I came across many pictures by the eccentric British photographer Norman Parkinson. I had too many photos for that one, so I saved these for a new post.

[Fashion posts make me think of CC and Amy...]

Curiosity: the model in the middle of the black and of the white pictures is Parkinson's third wife, Wenda Rodgerson. Here she is again, in a very lovely photo:
