Roy DeCarava
As this week is ending I wanted to remember one of my photographic heroes who died this week, Roy DeCarava. I think every artist has at least three bodies of work from another artist that they subconsciously channel at times. Whether that’s true or not to others, I certainly find this true with myself. When I look at one of my photographs, an image of DeCarava might come to mind which makes me question my composition, contrast, or intentions. DeCarava’s greatest strength was his awareness of body language. His awareness of how the slightest movement or shift greatly transforms the way an image is read. He was a great inspiration and I’m sure his body of work will inspire future photographers as well.
Paris Fashion Week – Limi Feu Spring 2010

Limi Yamamoto took a bit of inspiration from her father with this collection it would seem. The asymmetrical, androgyny found in Limi Feu’s collection is nothing new, but still was great to see. Mixing a modern European styling to traditional Japanese proportions made this a very refreshing look. Yamamoto’s doesn’t overwork the fabric and this simplicity makes a dramatic statement without over complicating things.
Topshop Boutique Preview
Topshop recently posted these photos on their blog and I love them. Raw and candid but a lot of fun with great attention paid to the clothes and their inspiration.

Natural by Timothy Paul Moore
The readers and fans of this site have been a big help to me yesterday and so I wanted to return the favor in the only way I knew how, going out and taking some photos for you. I’m releasing another project today titled Natural. It can be downloaded and shared, (all I ask is that you credit me if you share it, thank you). I have admitted my love for Georg Gerster and I think you can tell that his work was definitely an inspiration.
Here is the link to download the pdf (9.3 mb)

Here are a couple images from the project:
