Here are the blogs that inspire me the very most.
I read them almost every day, at least once a week.
I hope you come to enjoy reading at them too!
The DutchessIt's hard to specifically state why I am inspired by this blog! The Dutchess has this beautiful, quaint sense of style & humor that I love. She posts pretty pictures & paintings, she writes short little verses or includes some poetry of others. She makes blogging an art and that inspires me. :)
Urban Weeds
Urban Weeds is a photo blog by a photographer named Lisa Warninger from Portland, Oregon, who (it appears!) goes downtown everyday in various spots, and accosts people going to and fro. She snaps their photo, one black & white close-up, one color full length, and asks what their style is. How they choose what to wear everyday, what inspires their outfits, and what they are wearing that day & by who. I am not in love with this blog for the fashion aspect; no. (Although it is interesting too.) The reason I go back to this blog over & over is for the faces. Something about seeing these crystal clear, beautiful captures of humans-- just like me-- inspires me. I want to photograph like that, with meaning. With purpose. Take a look, and I think you'll understand what I mean.
The House of Lisa
This blog is amazing. Not gonna lie! I am in love with it; with every post and with every word & picture on it! But first I should explain who keeps it and what is it! I'll use her description, because it explains it best: "I´m Lisa and I am a textile designer.My blog is a photo diary in an old countryhouse in Dalarna [Sweden]. Everything (almost) takes place in my dollhouse. Recently I started up a miniature gallery, where I present contemporary artists and designers..."
She blogs with her dollhouse! What can be more neat than that?!
1000 Awesome Things
1000 Awesome Things is run by a fellow named Neil. He writes weekly posts that detail what is AWESOME about different things in people's everyday lives. He has made it his job---literally!-- to remind all of us of those "awesome" moments in our lives. The blog is entertaining, funny, and very insightful many times. :) I always enjoy a 'look-see'.
Oh, and he has a book out too. It's called...not surprisingly, "The Book of Awesome"

Always,

These are good! I think my favorite has got to be House of Lisa though - that's her DOLLHOUSE in those pictures??? Unbelievable. 1000 Awesome Things is quite good too ;-)
ReplyDeleteThat is the most interesting, fresh little dollhouse I've ever seen!:)
ReplyDeleteHey Mac~
ReplyDeleteYes, I know! It is hard to believe! Her dollhouse is just amazing. :) Now, some of the pictures are of both a scene in her dollhouse paired with a similar scene in her actual house. But ~80% of them are mini. I like 1000 Awesome Things, too. :D Totally makes me day!
Sara~ Isn't it?? I totally agree! :)
