Aline Smithson

Two portraits I was quite inspired by in my blog browsings are by photographer Aline Smithson. Please enjoy some of her other work on her web link. One of her quotes reads "I take photographs to allow myself and the viewer to linger a little longer within an image." These portraits certainly got me to do that without a doubt. Kudos!

Hellen Van Meene

Inspiration has found a new face  for me, Hellen van Meene lives in Heiloo, Netherlands. I am stunned by so many of her images. The great part about all of this, Helen is coming to NYC. What is even better is that In this public lecture, van Meene talks with Jörg Colberg, the founder and editor of the pioneering photo blog Conscientious. Here are the details. Hellen van Meene in Conversation with Jörg Colberg Monday, September 14, 7pm SVA Theatre, 333 West 23 Street Free and open to the public, click here to get more info. The sadest part of all of this, I leave town for a 12 day trip on September 12th and will be missing this amazing event. But this post os for the greater good of mankind. Those of you who can make it, I'm jealous.
