home 1 PHOTO the next set of posts... Tomas Eriksson - Fine Art Photographer From Sweden Tomas Eriksson is a fine art photographer from the town of Gävle, which is in Sweden. He is very enthusiastic about his wife and children, and I know that his focus is on his family above all. He is a marketing coordinator for a leading industrial welding and piping company in Sweden. For him, photography is a cure for the stresses of life. Being in the field with the camera makes him forget those everyday problems we all face. Everyday life provides plenty of inspiration and motivation. As I mentioned by way of introduction, Tomas is from Gävle. He is fascinated by industrial buildings as well as old buildings. I asked Tomas about his vision and dream. "My vision and dream when it comes to photography is to develop my photography style. Sweden, according to Tomas, has a long and strong tradition of nature and documentary style photography. "Personally, I want to see a finished photographic work where it is obvious that the photographer has put his or her soul into the whole process.

The Machine The Machine Billows of Colored Smoke Pervade the Air in Photo Series, ‘Pop!' Texas-based photographer Irby Pace stakes his vision of the predictable and typical. He does this in open fields, long and bending roads, bodies of still waters, shrub overgrown alleyways, and an assortment of landscapes devoid of activity. Pace’s jolt to these benign imagery is a ubiquitous colored cloud, reminiscent of a magician’s smoke cover as he conceals a trick or sleight of hand. Pace’s tools of choice: helium balloons, a string, and smoke canisters used in paintball machines to create the mystifying clouds of colored smoke in everyone of his images. The collection is simply called, Pop! Pace elaborates on his simple concept of tinted smoke appearing in ordinary places, “With Pop! Pace was born in Odessa, Texas, where in 2005, he moved to the city of Lubbock to attend Texas Tech University where he earned his BFA in Photography in 2008. Speaking on his Pop! View Pop!

A Lion Made from 4,000 Pieces of Hammered Metal by Selçuk Yılmaz Created from nearly 4,000 pieces of metal scraps, Aslan (Turkish for Lion), is a recent sculpture by Istanbul-based artist Selçuk Yılmaz. The piece took nearly a year of work and involved hand-cutting and hammering of each individual metal piece. The final work weighs roughly 550 pounds (250kg). While we’ve seen dozens of artists use multiple components to create a final form, it’s worth noting how well the bent mental lends itself to the final shape of this impressive cat. You can see much more of his work on Behance.

Color + Design Blog / The Colors Of Shorebreak By Clark Little by COLOURlovers :: COLOURlovers I know we had a colorful look at waves not too long ago (see it here), but when I came across the shorebreak photography of Clark Little I couldn't resist sharing the incredible palettes created by a mix of sand, shore and water. All of these photos can be seen on his site, and are part of his latest book, The Shorebreak Art of Clark Little.

Niklas Agevik's blog - 20 lessons about making viral apps I learned the hard way I have a lot of people to thank for this post - too many to mention that have shared their knowledge with me. But above all, this post would not have been possible without the team we have at Instabridge. So, 20 lessons about making viral apps I learned the hard way: 1) Buying downloads is cheap. 2) Having an app that requires a user’s friends to use the app is a problem to be solved, not a viral hook. 3) Users uninstall apps aggressively. 3) Retention is your most important measure. 4) The younger users are, the more they hate having to login with Facebook. 5) Learn App store SEO (AEO). 6) In Western Europe and the US, Android fragmentation is a negligible problem when you start out. 7) You need to have a QA process from the start. 8) Mixpanel is the gold standard for measurements in mobile apps. 9) One hour of user testing will tell you more about user behaviours than reading articles like this. 10) Repeat after me: Notifications are not for retention. 13) The app market is local.

Dreamlike Self-Portraits Express Young Artist's Inner Musings Ben Zank is committed to producing a new photograph every single day of the year. The devoted young artist/photographer from New York is another master on the surreal on the rise, creating self-portraits that defy explanation or logic, while still keeping his viewers not only captivated, but entranced. Zank is no doubt blessed with uncommon talent, and luckily for us, he is also dedicated to making art, fine art in fact. His flair definitely is evident in his extensive collection of originally conceived realities. ”I go wherever my imagination takes me,” says Zank of his decidedly offbeat work. Zank was born in the Bronx and at the age of 18 he started taking photographs for kicks after he chanced upon a Pentax ME Super in his grandma’s attic. “I didn’t go to school for photography. Zank says that he shoots practically every day for a 365 Project on his Flickr account, in which he recurrently posts his surreal images. See Zank’s exemplary world of the bizarre and odd here.
