Juxtaposition is a powerful tool, especially in photography. It lets you make commentary on an otherwise silent picture.
Pablo.raw must have either waited for a bit in front of the Studio Theater, or was lucky enough to have a flip-flop wearing, iPhone toting guy walk by as he got on [...]

DSC_0013 by mediaslave
Despite our best efforts, it’s hard to pick a favorite time of year.  Some say it’s the spring when the weather starts warming up and the cherry blossoms burst onto the scene.  Not long after we’re given an 80 degree day and are drinking margaritas on a patio which could easily contend for [...]

Flickr pool contributor dr_kim_veis [''o ] uses film well, capturing the Beetle with tones that are hard to replicate using a digital camera. The square format and the smilie sticker just [...]

Hope you enjoyed the last few days, because this week’s going to be a scorcher. We suggest some Monday morning therapy paging through some weekend photos, drinking the beverage of your choice, and hoping for a quick fast-forward to Friday.
