Seconds of Style #44: Cinemagraph

Firstly I'd like to acknowledge that I didn't make it to the end of the alphabet. 'M', I didn't make it as far as you and I'm sorry.

Secondly, I'd like to share a website that my darling partner in crime stumbled across last night, Cinemagraph. As explained by Kevin Burg and Jamie Beck on their website, "A Cinemagraph is an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly. To quote supermodel Coco Rocha "it's more than a photo but not quite a video"."

The Cinemagraph is alluring and intoxicating. The beauty of stillness and motion colliding makes the viewing experience visceral.

Check out Cinemagraph, it really won't leave you wanting!

Seconds of Style #31: A Digital Issue

I might be a little slow off the mark on this one but I was just introduced to Issuu, a wonderful website full of uploaded magazines! I am a complete magazine hoarder, I can't get enough of them. I buy them new, I buy them 2nd hand. I swap them, I borrow them and I pile them high - so this is a little bit exciting for me. I have to say, I will still need the tactility of having a hard copy when it comes down to it but I love that I can click through loads of great publications and get ideas. It's incredibly user friendly and the images are nice and clear. They even have a 'Visual Inspiration' section to browse, check out Swedish magazine Fotografisk Tidskrift (Photographic Journal), visually inspiring indeed!
