Flickr Faves

I'm well and truly addicted to the photography website Flickr.com and I love to trawl the 'Most Interesting' pages as well as all my contacts and group uploads - it's such a thriving hub of creativity and a huge source of inspiration for me as a photographer. I'm also obsessed with favouriting people's photos and checking my stats! :)

I thought I'd share some of my favourites which recently, have been of the Polaroid variety. I own a gorgeous vintage Polaroid Land 1000 which I love but am always out of film for! I go through phases of justifying the steeply priced Polaroid film and not really feeling like it's worth it as the images sometimes don't expose well or at all. This week I've been very tempted to purchase some colour film from The Impossible Project, and have found my inspiration in the beautiful subdued, lazy hues and simplistic compositions of the photographs below...:


1.Sunrise - Ashley Saldana  2.Woods and Light - Jennifer  3.Gotland - Radoslaw Grabowski 
4.The Wall - Michael Houmann  5.Eiffel Tower - Emmanuella Zachariou  6.38/366 - Julie David
 




Lately I've been listening to...



1. Wicked Game (Chris Issac) Cover - Widowspeak
2. No To Love - Jessie Ware
3. They Always Fly Away- Blouse
4. Bikes (Peace Remix) - Lucy Rose
5. Don't Fall In Love - Still Corners
6. Follow - Crystal Fighters
7. 1998 (Delicious) - Peace
8. Weirdo - The Vaccines

Hello Blogspot :) generic first post here! I've just spent the evening snuggled down in a thick knit jumper with a cuppa at my side, trying to figue out how to get my layout and profile looking how I want. Calm-shores is going to be a place for sharing art, photography and illustration inspiration combined with fitness, fashion,music and baking - a bit of a mish-mash of all things that make me happy really... hope you enjoy! :)
