Lori Nix

lori nix diorama photography

Lori Nix is a Brooklyn based photographer who shoots big epic scenes of destruction and grandeur in tiny model diorama format. I love the pure amount of effort and work that has gone into building these little scenes just to get that one shot, wonder what she does with the models afterwards?

There’s an interview with her on Cool Hunting, where she explains her craft, also she has a book, Small Dangers.

Textures

Flickr Textures

I was quite upset last week when I realised that the Mayang directory of free textures doesn’t seem to exist anymore :( There’s quite a good pool on flickr of textures here. Does anyone know of any other good source of textures? Now that everyone is sick to their back teeth of shiney web 2.0 looky feely, think textures are going to have their day again :)

John Muir Trail 2007

climbing mt. whitney in the dark

My mate Paul has been busy finally uploading his photos of our previous walking holidays to his Flickr. Above is us climbing Mt. Whitney at god-knows-o’clock in the morning, to get to the summit for sunrise. Whitney is the highest point in the contiguous United States at 4,421 meters. It’s taken from a trip we did to California last year to walk the John Muir Trail.

You can see all photos here: Day 1, 2, 3&4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 & Vegas.

Couldn’t resist posting the image of me below, winding down in Vegas at the Hooters casino in vegas and the end of the hols ;)
