Flickr Favourite: Evatxu

I adore the atmosphere that is captured in these photos and the feelings that are conjured up inside of me. These London scenes are very familiar to me, but I've never seen them depicted in such a beautiful way. Battersea Powerstation is a very strong and sturdy structure, but looks soft and ghostly in the photo. It makes me wonder if this is how the powerstation would have looked when it was still in operation - the air misty from the fumes.

I've discovered some incredible cat pictures over the last week. I came across the first photographer via Fabric of my life, and it turns out I knew her from uni four years ago! Emilie is from Paris and spent a year at uni in London. She is an incredible photographer and is taking part in the Impossible Project. The Internet world is not as big as I'd thought. CRAZY.

This will be my last cat post for a while. Maybe I should set up separate cat and Boyzone blogs to indulge my other obsessions...

Looking into the past

[Images: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

I recently discovered a flickr group called Looking into the past, and the photos incorporate old pictures of the same scene. These photos are touching, poetic.. and a little sad.

Parisian Feminine Chic

I love the way these photos focus in on the details. The shoes are so delicate and pretty!

Where they create

[Images: Where they create]

These photos come from a series called Where they create by Paul Barbera. He travels to meet artists and designers and this is the visual documentation of their creative environments. I love the natural and subdued lighting and how each one has just a hint of colour. I particularly like the green light shining on the floor in the first space. I really feel as though I'm sneaking a peek into private spaces. I can sense real atmosphere.
