ye rin mok

a good friend sent me a bunch of photographers sites the other
day, out of all of them ye rin mok's work stood out the most.
there's something really innocent, but at the same time provocative
about her work. color and composition balance perfectly but never
in the way you'd predict. somehow it just works.

mostly natural light, and very quirky, her site is an absolutely positive
source for a little inspiration. it is also worth scouring through and
peeping the stock images she has on getty and f stop, a true example
that the old days of stock photography are well and truly on the way
out.

check her blog here for a daily photo fix:

honey space

in a city full of galleries, museums and various
creative spaces honey space is a breath of fresh air.
imagine a space free of all the pretense, dedicated to
providing a place for the showing of compelling and
enriching work....honey space most definitely provides
this. owned by sculptor thomas beale this unmarked
gallery is truly one of a kind.

creating a very special haven for great work a great
example of what he shows is an installation from
last year by the infamous graffiti/street artist swoon
and tennessee jane watson. titled 'portrait of silvia elena'
the two traveled to juarez, mexico scene of the unsolved
femicides that have been occuring for the last ten years.
silvia elena was one of the first victims. back in 2008
there had been 500 confirmed victims, all women,
most poor, young and sexually abused prior to their deaths.
it is a truly moving project and one that is absolutely worth
taking the time to acknowledge.

watch the interview with swoon here for more on the project:
