This week sharing will bring you some really cool photography sites, which I come across reading my monthly photography magazine subscriptions. I would like to share with you after I spent hours browsing some of them this evening. The following three are on top of my favarite list!

    Sarah Louise Johnson1. 21 years old British Sarah Louise Johnson not only has a beautiful look, she also has a really cool website, and an eye for photography. She discovered her passion for photography while in the final year of a Graphic Design degree. Her self-portrait was taken as soon as she got into photography and she’s been taking them ever since. Check out her self-portraits, it is hard to resist her intimate and intrusive style. She is also a model.

    Levente Toth 2. If you enjoy medieval architecture, then you can’t afford to miss Lavente Toth’s works. The Romania born photographer got addicted to photography at age of 13 when he was given a manual Russian camera for his birthday. I love his photography as well as his strong characteristic approach. Most of his photos has bold lines and he frequent isolates a single person against the imposing architecture, very impressive work I must say.

    Joel Sartore3. Last but not least, Joel Sartore’s great work on nature. Joel is one of the most celebrated nature photographer in the US. He got into photography while studying for a journalism degree. He is working permanently for National Geographic, specialising in natural history and wildlife. His work has subsequently appeared in Time, Newsweek and Sports Illustrated. Do not be surprised if some of his pictures look too familiar to you. If you enjoy nature, this is a must go website!


The photos above are grabbed from the photographers’ website. All the copyrights are belong to the photographers.

Update:
Good news! I’ve just received an email reply from Lavente Toth, he will be heading to Toledo and Segovia in the end of August, and will update his website with more photos from the trip in September. So, don’t forget to go back and check out his latest work in September. I can’t wait for the new photos!

1. Like to scrap and blog? The solution is here! Online scrap book is currently in its beta version. I’ve viewed some of the scrap books, it’s brilliant!

2. Enjoy point and click games? You’ll definitely love lazylace.

3. Wish to improve your photography skills? This is interesting way of learning.

4. It might be a little bit late, but for those who still recover from World Cup fever or lost a fortune on it, you got to see this. It is good for eye washing too, if you know what I mean.

I thought I lost my iPod (no, it wasn’t in the washing machine) but after I spent 2 hours to search the house thoroughly, I finally found it, in my jeans pocket, and I was wearing it!

I didn’t lose it, it was with me all the time! Duhhhhh…. =.=

Just found out google has this Blog Search option. Is this new or am I out?

As I’ve finished one of my reports, I have more time now and will do more photoshop tutorials. I am speeding up the modification of my photoblog, cause I have loads of photos to share, and new way to present…

In fact, by this time of the year I should have completed two quarterly reports and yet I am still preparing the first one. Hopefully after 12 quarterly reports, I’ll be qualified as an engineer, with titles IEng(may be CEng?) and MICE embed on my name card.

I will start the tutorial on both WordPress and Photoshop ASAP after my reports. At the mean time, explore these:

    1. Hotel Chocolate - a must visit site for chocoholics and a great site for gifts. Yes, they deliver to worldwide. Tempted?

    2. Anna Munandar has a thing for photography. She also set up a website to sell her photos.

    3. A really cool way to show off your photography collections, for demo check out CheeV’s.

    4. Yes, you will be able to run Windows softwares on intel power Macintosh!

    5. Nice and neat new theme viewer for Wordpress users.

    6. Interesting Week in Photos, from Yahoo! News.

So what’s this sharing about? Well, this sharing thingie will contain the blogs/ applications/ pornography photographys /ads /nice stuff /whatever on the www that catch my eyes and I think might interest you.

I will start the first week by sharing flock and 30 boxes

    1. Flock - is another free browser that allows to share photos, stay up to date with your fav websites. It is a cool browser, even cooler than firefox.

    2. 30 boxes - is a cool, neat and yet simple to use web calender. It allows you to share your calender with your friends and you can change the look!.

Both are still in beta version, but I am sure they will soon release the official version if they have our support!

What are you waiting?
