Canadian photographer David Burdeny has an extensive portfolio of images from all over the world, but especially his photos from interiors are stunning. Maybe that is also because he has a degree in architecture and interior design.
Burdeny has photographed in Italy, Cuba, Russia and many other places, but a recurrent theme in his work is the interiors of old and beautiful buildings, especially in his photos of interiors inside Italian palaces, villas, castles, theaters and libraries. He is also known for his pictures of Moscow’s underground stations.

Veronica Ettedgui is a Venezuelan-based artist and illustrator who decided to “show” her love for all her interests like comics, cooking, cycling or piano, by taking pictures of compositions that form the letters L-O-V-E. Very creative!
Dear Photograph, letting go of my mother’s hand on the first day of school was always the hardest.Liz
Dear Photograph, I thought Dad never took a picture of me, ever. Then I noticed his reflection in the glass.Gregg
Dear Photograph, remember when you had to come home when the streetlight came on? Where are the good old days when the neighborhood was full of kids outside playing tag, hide-and-seek, and Wiffle ball?Those were the kick-the-can fun times!Linda
Dear Photograph, at the time it was not common for a man to walk behind a pram. I’m so proud of my father.Eva

Dear Photograph started off as a small nostalgic blog created by Taylor Jones. Very soon it went viral.
The idea is simple: hold a picture from the past in the place where it was photographed and take a picture of the picture. Add a caption to explain the meaning it has for you and you may be part of a collection of thousands of other moments traveling back in time. So many actually, that the creator decided to turn them also into a book. Digital nostalgia of the highest order!

This post is dedicated to our recent family road-trip in our neighboring country.
In August we travelled to Italy with our car and the three girls. Fortunately we came back before the earthquake! For 20 days, we went mostly around Tuscany, visited more than 25 cities/towns/villages, stayed in 6 different apartments/airbnb rooms/towers, plus two nights on the boat, took thousands of photographs (including the photos from the girls’ cameras), ate a lot of pasta, pizza and gelato, had many espressos and cappuccinos, drank a lot of good red wine and basically had a great Italian experience! I posted a selection of our photos here.
The kids behaved and put up with our ‘boring’ programs to see yet another medieval village or church. Their highlights was the boat trip, seeing wild deer near a forest, seeing animals in a farm outside Florence, taking photos of cute doggies, visiting huge wine barrels in a winery, finding a shop dedicated to chocolate together with visiting a real chocolate factory (Baci), and of course eating gelato, every, single, day.
The above photos are just a tiny selection showing the two extremes of our trip: Beautiful postcard-like Tuscan landscape, but also the hoards of people from all over the world in Pisa, Florence and wherever it was considered “touristic”.
That’s it. Now all we need is a holiday to rest!
Kawau are big birds like seagulls, that are very common in Japan. Photographer Yoshinori Mizutani has captured these birds on electric wires in Tokyo, making them look like beautiful and contrasting black & white paintings.
