Inspiring work, but also just something new for your dashboard!

Riitta Päiväläinen

"Finnish photographer Riitta Päiväläinen uses discarded clothing from second-hand shops and flea markets to carry silent, unknown stories and histories.  By freezing the garment or letting the wind fill it with air, she is able to create a sculptural space, which reminds her of its former user. 
“The unavoidable fact that I will never know the actual story and personal histories connected with the clothes arouses my curiosity. The clothes remain silent, withholding their secrets. Little by little, personal histories are absorbed into the collective history.” "

-it's an interesting concept, and I love the accompanying images:

Music/Band Photography

Since I talk about him at least 12 times every class, this is the guy who I used during my Homage project with the band portrait. 
He's really talented with what he does and even if you're not into his style of photography, his skill and knowledge of photo is awesome and apparent in his images.
If you go to the tab that says "Prints" there are many more of his more recent images.








The Battle We Didn't Choose
