I wanted to share some photos from one of my new favourite photographers, Melanie Bonajo. I ran across her work in Portland when I saw her book
I Have a Room With Everything. I wanted to share some of her work here because she's amazing. This is really what I wish that all of my photos conveyed: my desire to cover everything with plants and set up make shift shrines in the forest and spend all of my time outside and not thinking about city things. I like to think that I have
biophilia. I just love nature and the outdoors so much and these photos capture that emotion better than any others I've seen. Her other work is pretty rad, too.
Very cool! I grew up in the city so I'm not much of a nature girl, but I do appreciate these. :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! the one where they're carrying a stack of wood is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAh Sarah, I've been catching up on your blog and it's beautiful over load! Everything is so inspiring and the photos are amazing! Oh how I've missed your blog, if I could hug blogs, I would hug yours right now haha. Is that weird? lol...
ReplyDeleteWow! So creepy and awesome! I love love love these photos!
ReplyDeletethat last one is awesome...smothered by flowers, who woulda thunk it!
ReplyDeleteI really like the ribbon tent. It looks like they are beams of light!
ReplyDeletePaige: I grew up in cities, too. Nature in the city is my favourite kind of nature most days. I love trees that grow out of sidewalk cracks and self-seeded green roofs...even if it is mostly all invasive plants.
ReplyDeleteRachel: That's one of my favourites, too.
Jihee: Thanks, Jihee! Good to hear from you again.
Amanda: It's definitely the creepiness that I love, too.
Maria: I know. It's like a botanical murder scene.
Jacqui: We should make one in Stanley Park!
Sarah, we do need to take a trip to Stanley Park. I got a book from the library today on the plants of Stanley Park. We can find them, adorn them and take pictures of them!
ReplyDeleteoh! Wow!
