Beautiful project from German designer Stefanie Golla on the process of how bees make honey. Her use of photography to showcase the approach of how honey is created and gathered brings an imposing look into the procedure from beginning to end.

Beautiful work from Denmark photographer Ditte Isager. She describes her style as “simple nordic” and gets inspiration from “the light in the Dutch masters, storytelling and effects from motion pictures and the style, character and layers of NY.” I really enjoy the depth and richness she captures through everyday objects and scenery that we may otherwise overlook.

Sometimes to build up inspiration I enjoy flipping through image bookmarking sites such as the widely known ffffound or designspiration but I recently came across GreyHandGang which is actually ran by only one person, NYC designer Colin P. Kelly. He has an incredible collection of images that really have a lot of depth and nostalgic qualities that you can’t keep your eyes away from. I could scroll through his site for hours and lose all track of time.

I just added a new section to my portfolio that will document my time in Atlanta. Over the coming months look out for more photos as I have much more exploring to do.

For all the serious photographers out there who really enjoy coffee or for all the serious coffee drinkers who really enjoy photography the Camera Lens Mug was recently released in both Canon and Nikon formats. Fully equipped with a lens-cap lid, rubber grip focus and zoom rings, as well as an auto-focus switch you will undoubtedly turn heads with this one.

The Canon runs for $24 and the Nikon for $30. Both can be purchased here.

New York: Portrait of a City is a new book by Reuel Golden, a former executive editor of PDN. Golden’s book collects hundreds of beautiful images from early 1900 to present day that really capture the iconic city over the past 100 years. Its amazing knowing that millions of people have traveled through and lived in NYC and yet that last picture makes it seem like such a lonely place.

Beautiful mix of photographs from Todd Richardson who not only shoots in digital, but also with a 35mm and Polaroid. His eye for composition, color and processing is striking to say the least. You feel as if the real world actually had the vibrant colors and effects his photographs truly bring.

First published in 1947, Concrete Quarterly is a relatively small magazine that includes innovative concrete projects while also providing news and viewpoints from industry figures. The publication is put out by The Concrete Centre which is the central development organization for the UK concrete industry.

Architecture design has always been fascinating to me and is one of my favorite things to photograph. Over the decades CQ’s cover designs have captured a structure at some pretty compelling angles. Every couple of years they change up their cover either with a new layout and/or a new masthead logo, however in 2000 they did away with one on the cover, but brought it back in the middle of 2003 to rather disappointing results. The new logo constrains the overall photograph and design of the cover and strips the quality it once had.
