Astrophotography

These amazing photographs are by French photographer Thierry Cohen.  He has combined photos of cities, which have altered to remove light, and photos of the night sky from similar locations, to create these images.  They're stunning, what a creative use of astrophotography.

Maddie On Things




Isn't Maddie the cutest/talented dog?  Maddie was rescued by photgrapher Theron Humphrey (she is a Coonhound if you're interested), and he photoblogged about his trip across America with her and has just released a book about it.  You can read about Maddie and see more of Maddie on things at www.maddieonthings.com, buy the book here and see the iPhone app here.

The Matboard

Have you used The Matboard?  I've just started.  It is similar to Pinterest (which I really don't like using) but designed for creatives and encourages you to create your own portfolio board to share.

In their own words: "The Matboard is a social bookmarking hub for the creative world which will enable users to explore, share, and inspire creative work via two of the most compelling elements of social media: creative visual content and social media sharing capabilities. The Matboard will offer the creative world a digital platform from which they can connect with others based on their shared creative tastes and interests."

I've only created one board for the moment, embroidered illustrations, feel free to have a look.
