Triangle Triangle Review



I love this image. Out of all the amazing images on the Triangle Triangle tumblr page this is one that really stuck out. The colors in the trees are absolutely breathtaking and since I have lived in Texas my entire life, I have never gotten to experience the leaves changing colors like this during Fall. This image is also very romantic. I can picture have a picnic with my love and laying on a blanket just watching the stars. I also love that the branches of the tree create a negative space that looks like a heart in the sky.

Urbanautica Review


Urbanautica
                    (Ellie Davies)  
Stories #6: Ellie Davies

 The first time I visited Urbanautica I was very confused on where to go to find the articles, because some links led me to a different site. But I do like the fact that the blog is no too busy to look at. The colors are very neutral and easy on the eyes. Since the article titles were just the artist's names I chose based off of the images in the article. I love nature and Ellie Davis' work caught my eye. This article is an interview with Ellie Davis. She reveals her background in art and how she became a photographer. She was originally a sculptor, but decided that the job would be too lonely so she ventured into photography. Most of her work is done in the woods where she sculpts nature for her work. I think it is interesting that she changed her career choice even though she loved to sculpt. I also really enjoyed the fact that she was following in her dad's footsteps. It is amazing that she did not discover her love for photography soon since she was around it as a child and she is such a natural.

Artist: Tom Sandberg

This blog has a clean layout, but it is not the easiest to navigate. There is a cool image of a women as the preview for the blog so I thought it might be interesting. The image is also black and white, which I love. When reading the article you can tell that the writer has a lot of respect for Sandberg's art. The article talks about how different his work is compared to others and how he views things differently than most people. Carlo states that Tom captures things in his photography that many people would never see. The fact that Sandberg is not in a rush to get his art work to America is interesting to me because it shows that he is more worried about doing what he loves than becoming famous for his art. I enjoyed the article and the photography.
