Photographer of the week: Jack Radcliffe

Image by Jack Radcliffe

I've been a huge fan of Jack Radcliffe's since I saw his work on Behance three years ago.  I'm particularly drawn to his portfolio of photographs that he took of his daughter Alison throughout her life.  It is a visual representation of how a human finds who she is.  She dates different people, grows up and goes through many phases of style and preferences, just like all humans do.  It's a truly beautiful and meaningful body of work. I recommend looking at the portfolio from beginning to end, which you can find here:   http://www.behance.net/Gallery/Alison/49837

Favorite Thing of the Week...Rifle Paper Company

 Ah, Rifle Paper Co.   So many things to say.  The word lovely comes to mind.  Anna Bond is the brilliance behind Rifle Paper Co., and she does these handpainted floral designs for everything from recipe cards to prints for the home.  You can visit Anna Bond's store to purchase some of these lovlies here:  http://riflepaperco.com/index.php

The colors are fantastic!  That is what first drew me to Anna Bond's designs, the colors she uses are eye-candy.   

I have these cute recipe cards earmarked for mother's day.  My mom is a great cook and loves to organize her recipes.  I thought these would be perfect for her, and she's going to love the aqua blue flowers around the edges. 

New Work - "Silos Trio"

It has been unseasonably warm here in Montana, so the clouds are starting to become puffier, like they are in the summer.  They sky is clear and less overcast, so it works out great for us photographers.  This shot is at the Story Mill in Bozeman.  It is a place I used to photograph regularly, but it's now blocked off from exploration.  The shadows are so defined around the curved edges of these silos.  They have a beautiful shape and contours.   

Here's a link to an Etsy Treasury featuring some great photography of old barns....including two images from my shop!
