Pretty in Pink
I love these inspiring photos by photographer Polly Wreford.
If you missed the Reflections of Christ exhibit, you missed out on some amazing pieces. Thanks Mark for your work. Hopefully we all can remember the true meaning of Christmas. Have a Merry Christmas!
Rachel is definitely the main blogger here at Elegance. But every once in awhile i’ll chip in a few posts here and there. I’m streaky…i’ll pump out a bunch in a row and then i’ll take a little break. I blog more at my personal blog. Anyway…here are a few images for the day. I have a ton of stuff ’starred’ in my google reader that I need to get rid of.
I’ve had a bunch of pics saved for a while now…finally getting around to posting some.
Images of some of the world’s greatest athletes by photographer, Carlos Serrao.
Smashing Magazine recently did a really cool story on Motion Blur photography. They have 45 amazing images. Here are a few.
Here are a few images from the series Dreams of Flying by Jan Von Holleben. He uses a lot of creativity in his work and I also really enjoy some of the props.
Worth1000 is always doing fun contests for photoshoppers. This one is called the Worthympics Games 3. The rules are simple: Take any Olympic event, summer or winter, and add some danger to it to make it more interesting.
Some are kinda silly.
I like this new ad campaign by ESPN Brasil, “Not Good Enough for Beijing.” Click on the images to see the full size version of the image.

The concept was, as she explains, “… to explore the hidden ‘brains’ … allowing us to view these everyday objects from a new perspective.”
I really like some of this work by Willi Dorner and Lisa Rastl.
The urban based series was created as a set of human sculptures which were spread throughout the city of Vienna. the artist has effectively transformed the human body into form, a complete reversal from the classical convention of creating the human form from a material.
Wow. That’s all I’ve got to say. If you missed the opening ceremonies for the Olympics, I feel really bad for you. They were unbelievable, I couldn’t take myself away from the tv. Enjoy these pictures from the amazing night.
A few pictures I took of my nieces and nephews at a family reunion a couple weeks ago in San Diego.
