BOOOOOM
A Thousand Souls by Maciek Jasik
I liked how in this blog, at least for the one that I looked at, there weren't any words or stories behind the images. They were completely up to the viewer to interpret and try to understand.
One of the reasons I clicked on this particular title was that it was the first one that popped up on the page, but I also was really interested in the title. I was really curious on how a photographer would be able to capture his interpretation of people, or what they're like using such emotion. One of my favorite parts about this page was how colorful each and every photo was, but still how he managed to incorporate movement and stillness in some of the work all at once.
Here's an example that is one of my favorites.

Triangle
This blog didn't have any writing, and showed many different photographers works in a very simple way, in that you just clicked the next photo to see the next artist.
The first glance at many of these photographs caught my eye but I really liked Lauren Marsolier's work. When you click on her name, it directly sends you to her website and her work is very very calming and peaceful. The other artists were very good, but her photographs made me want to escape right then and there to locate the place she was photographing. I loved how simple and unique she made all her images and how the focal point is always in the center and the background is very wide and seems almost like it's never-ending.
She posts several transition posts, but they all have to do with very unique, spacious points of view. Her first and third use many blues and white hues, which make her photographs stand out much more in my opinion and seem to calm you down when you look at them.

Jordi Huisman - Rear Window
This website was a lot harder to follow than the rest of the blogs that I've looked at so far, but I felt like there was much more of a variety on the subject matter that artists chose to photograph.
Jordi Huisman did an amazing job of focusing all the viewer's attention on the rear of a building, something that not many people think of or consider, and she made it look extremely beautiful. With the way that she edited the sky, it is hard to realize that it was taken at night, but I love the images that she produced. I like how she made something so simple seem so important and relevant to the viewer's eye.

The Space Between: Redefining Public and Personal in Smartphone Photography
I found this article extremely interesting even though it was very short and brief.
It talked about an upcoming discussion that three photographers and a strategist are having in New York on October 30. They're going to talk about how widespread having a camera on a smartphone is, and how easy it is for people to communicate today just by using photographs on their phones. The topic will go over risks and caution that people need to take before online posting, and will discuss new points of view for people's lives that they post online.
The blog post and information about the discussion and meeting time was very short, but it is very interesting to think about smart phones in a way other than just talking, texting, and posting every now and again on social media.

NY Times Art & Design
I Only Wanted You to Love Me
The title of this review caught my attention immediately.
I didn't pay much attention to the painting beside it, but once I noticed the painting I became nothing but confused and curious as to why and how someone would come up with something like this and be able to paint it.
The painter, Jim Shaw, does an incredible job of making unordinary things (or people in this case) seem like a part of everyday life. It is a wedding scene of Flash the Superhero and his wife is supposed to be the Land 'O Lakes Princess. The painting is a mural size and is twenty feet wide.
This is most definitely a painting that is meant to be seen and looked at for awhile before understanding the entire meaning, but the princess has the body of a corn husk, and there is a snake that is part of her body that is striking Flash's hip, this is where all the water comes from to the left.
This painting is full of interpretation that can only be viewed differently from each person that looks at it, but Jim does an amazing job of making something so unique seem almost magical and normal.
