Self-Portrait Series Straddles the Line Between Fantasy and Reality Rachel Baran who no doubt is a talented photographer, likes to tag herself as having a small purse but big dreams. Obviously she does a lot of that dreaming while wide awake, behind her camera. The young 20-year-old from Ohio says that “One of my many very fancy hobbies is taking photographs of mainly myself but I promise I’m not a total narcissist.” The young lady makes the disclaimer, as she uses herself as the subject in most of her work. Baran unashamedly uses herself in all these creations, a rather eccentric set of self-portraits. They manifest a dark emotional tone that could only be the subliminal musings of a mind that is absorbed with the murky images of bad dreams and nightmares. What is particularly impressive about Baran’s photos is the narrative behind each of them, especially with the knowledge that what you see is very intimately connected with Baran herself, a solitary female in a make-believe world. See her captivatingly moody images here.

He went to the exact same locations and captured these places with a modern look. Then he merged the old shots with the modern ones to create some insightful images that are becoming witnesses of two different times. Do you like these pictures? Source

Here's What SF Would Look Like Without Cars or People By Sierra Hartman I was walking through a neighborhood years ago on a quiet afternoon when I noticed a stoplight changing at an intersection. There were no cars anywhere on either street but the lights were on a timer and just went about their business regardless. Aside from those rare occasions like Christmas morning and Super Bowl Sunday, it's almost impossible to find more than a block of empty San Francisco blacktop at any one time. In doing this, I've spent a fair amount of time picturing the city sans humans and I've found people are split about 50-50 in their reactions to the scenes.

Farbpalette: Hilfsmittel zur harmonischen Farbwahl | Rene Haas Eine Farb­pa­lette beschreibt alle Far­ben, wel­che in einem Lay­out ver­wen­det wer­den. Im Gra­fik­de­sign, vor allem bei der Gestal­tung für Unter­neh­men, spielt das Erstel­len oder die Ein­hal­tung einer bestimm­ten Farb­pa­lette eine wich­tige Rolle.

Dies mag zunächst ein­fach klin­gen, doch jeder der ein­mal ver­sucht hat eine abge­stimmte Farb­pa­lette mit 5 Farb­tö­nen zu erstel­len, wird sich der mit­un­ter schwie­ri­gen Auf­gabe bewusst sein.
