Duston Todd

I consistently make fun of my older sister for being such a "typical" idealist about love. Obviously, I'm not a particularly sappy sort of romantic, which is probably why I am so delighted by many of the photographs taken by Duston Todd. They convey a wide range of aspects of love, many of which are really intriguing or fun. And it's not just "couple" love- there's family love too! (Images from dustontodd.blogspot.com)

Marc Jacobs Spring 09

I have a weakness for Marc Jacobs. Bright jewel tones, architectural pleating and structure are always a win for me.

8 Towers

I know it's been quite some time since I last posted- but studio projects have been attacking me. I have been accumulating inspiration still, however, and will now proceed to post what I have collected.

The first- 8 Towers by SsD. I find the architecture be quite intimidating and cold, rather than a welcoming place to live, but something about the red and grey graphics has caught my eye. (Images from SsDarchitecture.com)
