More pictures and a short interview with the photographer at the site. Just love that first macro shot.
Brian Valentine started taking macro shots as a hobby and today his passion takes him everyday on a trip to his own yard with his camera to discover more about the little things the world has to offer. The macro shots taken by him are absolutely beautiful and very interesting as you get to see all the small details of everything that goes in front of his lens.
For more from Brian make sure to visit his flickr.

Or, A Few of My Favorite Things
Yeah, I know. EVERYBODY photographs flowers. Well, everybody also breathes, but you don’t see me insisting that fewer of you do it, now do you? I aim my camera at pretty things. Call me shallow, but not for me, all that journalistic ‘we really should do something about these terrible conditions’ kind of photography. It’s enough that it should be pretty. Make me feel good. Lift my spirits. Like most artists and creatives, I have more work than will ever be seen. And like most artists, I WANT my work to be seen. I do it for me, but I also do it for the world. Really. These of some of my personal favorites.

Abduzeedo does it again. Some great portraits and scenic shots. More at the site.
Last week we received a suggestion from one of our readers about Leonard Gren’s beautiful fashion photography. And beautiful it is! I was going through his site last night and found other great non-fashion related photos that definitely deserved a mention as well!
I think what I love the most about Leonard’s work is that it’s so clean, as in, not overally processed with textures and what have you. All I’ve been seeing lately is incredibly overdone photos so this is a nice break from all of that. Anyway, don’t forget to check out his portfolio and let me know what you think via twitter or facebook!
One of my favorite photographers covered by one of my favorite sites for artistic inspiration. What’s not to like? I didn’t clip them all, and there are even more at Trey’s site, so be sure to check them out.

Abduzeedo is a wonderful site for inspirational works of art. They cover everything artistic from photography to web design. These shots are amazing. I just love the colors, and on the Abduzeedo site there are a few that just melt into the black background.
I really LOVE macro… and browsing around Flickr I found the work from Sakura, a girl from Tokyo that has a natural talent to capture beautiful things. Her images are reallly delicate, colorful, inspiring and gorgest. As the images speak for themselves, I have not much to say. And I’m sure you will also like her work…
I am a Japanese girl who live in Tokyo. Love to take photos of natures, just like small wild flowers and small creatures, around me. You can find me on flickr.
Enjoy the images and make sure to visit Sakura’s flickr page to check out further amazing photos!
Enjoy…
