Gustav Klimt, Die Freundinnen, ca. 1916-7

Sometimes I think I'm not enough like sometimes I feel I can't project what I'm seeing or like my idea is just way to crazy or simple and that makes me feel so so so bad...

Whenever I feel like I am not good enough at something I put myself in situations where my only choice is to confront my short comings. I won’t tell you that I am always successful but at least I understand why not instead of it being an abstract fear. Try other ways to project your ideas, learn from others, and a simple idea is most times the best option!

Gurung Honey Hunters Andrew Newey

Andrew Newey is a documentary travel photographer based in the southwest of England. He began his career with shooting landscape and travel images for the stock photography industry and now focuses on commissions, photo expeditions and personal projects documenting traditional cultures around the world.

The ‘Gurung Honey Hunters‘ is a great example of one of Andrew’s projects in which he documents traditional practices. The Gurung people live in the Himalayan foothills of Nepal around the Annapurna mountain range. Twice a year they harvest the honey from the world’s largest honeybee that can be found on the cliffs in the mountains. This difficult and dangerous activity is part of an ancient and sacred tradition, and the skills required for honey hunting have been passed down through the generations.

Road Trip by Noel Kerns

Noel Kerns is a Dallas-based photographer specializing in capturing Texas’ ghost towns, decommissioned military bases, and industrial abandonments at night. Growing up in the central Texas hill country, Kerns developed his photographic skills shooting large format black & white landscapes.  The slow and deliberate nature of the large format photographic process was a perfect launching pad into the art of digitally photographing the nocturnal world.

One of the things Kerns enjoy most about photographing under a full moon are all the latent details, those things which reveal themselves only when you take the time to let the moonlight tell the story. He loves the calm and tranquility of a peaceful night scene, as well as the eerie feeling one can get when shooting an old desert ghost town under a full moon.

‘Resurrection of Angels - Part 1’ at Love Shack in Venice, CA. Model/muse @hiyaimnicole. Tons of work on this one by me and my assistant for the week @teevans3: a wing extended on to the window to give more width to the piece, the top portion of the head painted on a separate board and fixed to the roof to add more height and gold leaf added to the tags… b/c why not? 😬 Huge shout out to my buddy and originator of gold leaf usage in street art murals @kevinledo. Thanks also to @londongraffiti for wall-sourcing and everyone at @veniceloveshack for their hospitality and openness to new ideas.
