Something makes me think Pete Gardner would agree that Kingra Sado's X100s Colorless Impressions are worthy of a gander.
Thanks, Fujirumors.
Photographer Pete Gardner
About a year ago, Flickr introduced me to the London-based photographer/designer, Pete Gardner, whose work has become something of a personal muse. That muse says this about himself:
“Pete Gardner is a professional studio based photographer in London, UK. With over twenty five years experience, he specialises in creative product and concept photography for design and advertising clients. His passion is his personal work, which concentrates mainly on the urban environment and the effects of light and shadow he observes whilst walking around the streets of the city.”
Passion for the urban environment really comes out in Pete's photos, which really are a glass showcase of urban angles and shadows. My own views of the urban scape changed greatly as a result of Pete's work.
But no manner of carefully or uncarefully worded essay comes close to illustrating both Pete's genius and his madness. Only his photos do that.

Flickr: Nicolas Bruno depicts his nightmares in photos
From the Flickr Blog:
“Imagine waking up in the middle of the night, unable to move and being haunted by your worst nightmares? It’s what happens to those who suffer from sleep paralysis, like photographer Nicolas Bruno, known on Flickr as thewickedend. Nicolas endured these traumatic hallucinations for years. But over time, he learned that photography helped to control them.”
You can see Nicolas' photography through his account, thewickedend. Check out the original Flickr blog post for the whole story.
