Discovered Art:

Four Benches

I love the mood of this image by Victor Palagano. The lamp post breaks up the symmetry of the photo and creates conflict in the viewer. You can purchase the 9×12 Fine Art Giclee Print Four Benches at DiscoveredArtists for $240. Not bad if you ask me.

In the Photoblogosphere:

If you’re a wedding photographer, want to be a wedding photographer, or need to hire a wedding photographer it’s good to know why weddings are so expensive. As a photographer you shouldn’t be afraid to charge what you are worth. Be expensive! It’s okay, I promise.

Speaking of weddings; here’s a great set of engagement photographs for some inspiration. It is that time of year after all.

Did you catch that The Whitehouse has it’s own Flickr account! Seriously cool images of Obama and the staff in their first 100 days. All politics aside I love that they are trying to be more transparent.

Photojojo has a really slick bowler camera bag for all of you fashionistas out there. Nice retro feel to it.

So I love the idea of the Kindle, but as a person who reads mostly books on photography I need color images. I certainly wouldn’t mind forgoing paper books to save trees and all. There are rumors that I like. I would so get one of these ASAfrekingP. I’m just saying…
