For a while now I have been quietly moving between the haunting worlds of Polish photographer Laura Makabresku. Her beautiful blog and Tumblr provide seamless, dreamlike journeys....journeys which I am never eager to abandon. My photographies are like screenshots from beautiful but cruel fairy tales. Their narrations are not straight. Images that appear are more… Continue reading Laura Makabresku
When I read that photographer Katie Eleanor was born in 1993 I had to do a double take. I can remember what I was doing in 1993 like it was yesterday.

It is the perfect one-stop-shop… Continue reading Alexandria Noël
