Putting a name to the photos

I love coming across random websites and finding out they are the source of photos I have admired for ages.

This pink sofa photo is a favourite in an old scrapbook of mine from a while ago, I must have just found it on tumblr or something. On a random browse this evening I came across it on Ye Rin Mok's website within her portfolio of photographs

London OC

It's been confirmed that Opening Ceremony WILL be opening a pop up shop in London's Covent Garden in time for the Olympics this Summer...maybe this Olympic malarky, with all the extra people and jammed up roads/public transport will be worth it!

Feeling inspired

all collages from Faran Krentcil's tumblr

I haven't blogged in so long, I left my job in January and kinda felt like I didn't really have anything to blog about so I moved over to tumblr for a while.

This week however I came across Faran Krentcil's tumblr (Faran is the Digital Director for Nylon Online) and I loooooove it. I read about her in the new Topshop instore magazine and her love for making scrapbooks and collages when she was younger. Her tumblr shows pages from her notebooks and has inspired me to finally do something with all the notebooks I buy and am given. Maybe I'll share some on here once I get going.

I've kept scrapbooks for a long time, but these are more A3 research books for inspiration. I'm pleased my A5 books will now have a proper use. I love tumblr and blogging, and am slowly coming round to Pinterest, but digital media can never really beat a good old pen and paper or magazine.

Do you scrapbook/collage ?
