After Thereza’s tweet about a special project I was very curious and sure it’s connected with art – art project. About 4 hours later a Happy Journey was launched. It’s the product of the imaginative heads of illustrators Thereza Rowe, Lesley Barnes and Abi Daker.

It was born out of a Twitter interaction over a link Thereza posted featuring eco friendly customized coffins which used mostly stock images and very little imagination.

Anya Kozyreva is a freelance photographer from Moscow, Russia. Her focus is the atmosphere shot, preserving the emotions of model and their freedom in the photo. Since 2009. Anya began creating her own photo business, am I wrong with the title? Anya is only 19 year old and I’m sure her career has just started. Good luck. Do not forget to check out her photostream on Flickr and follow her on Twitter.

Life is becoming incredible like never before, so much good things happened. You know what is power? When one week can change your life, that’s the power – please read more in my previous blog post about the creative workshop. But now I’m gonna tell you how one day has changed my life.

I was officially on a mission to cover “every move” around the school during the creative workshop. She played the flute and I’ve met her on the hallway. I still didn’t know her name and nothing more. Smile here – smile there!

Here comes the last day of our workshop, the most beautiful and crucial day. We went for a walk with our friends and finally I have remembered her name – Franka. That night, last night, we sat next to each other and watched the funny guy doing some tricks. Franka was so cute and I’ve hugged her. Emotions, yay emotions! Love at first sight. Indescribably!

It’s not easy writing this report, because of the sadness and all those beautiful memories. Unbelievable is that one week of creative workshops can connect people so strong. We have simply became inseparable. Everybody are so kind and dear, everybody are smiling all the time. You have to feel that energy. It’s better than utopia, really!

Actually I don’t know how to write down my feelings and where to start. So, I won the elections for the best clown, yay! Whole week was superb and we have made a real circus. It’s beautiful being surrounded with the happy creative kids, I miss them so much. Once again I’ll repeat, everything was happening in my hometown and my ex elementary school. Day begins with the breakfast and morning creative work, buzzing around the school and watching what others are working. Lunch and short break for sunbathing, elevator riding and photo sessions on the meadow. Afternoon creative work in the school again and than, finally, showtime at the hotel. Many arts united on one place, Novigrad, my hometown.

Two days are behind us and the time is running so fast. My electioneering for the best clown is going very well, and my plan for tomorrow is to wear a pajama and slippers whole day, crazy? I love this workshop and my funky kids who are making every day more special and unforgettable – thank you!

Fabulous camera obscura will be our main tool tomorrow – let’s do the magic with that box.

First day of the workshops has just passed and we have done a lot. It maybe sounds crazy, but I’m competing for the best clown in our little creative circus and here is one photo from the recording of my advertisement for the best clown. Posters with my crazy clown photo are placed all over the school in a hope people will vote for me – funky elections.

Stay tuned for my next report and a photo with my clown outfit.

Did you know that? Now you know. I think this is the first time something cool connected with my homeland – Croatia is featured on LearnSomethingEveryDay.co.uk. Site is full of interesting facts illustrated daily on a very unique way, with the simple drawings. It’s a must-follow in your rss readers and you can also submit your fact(s), so get involved.

During the yesterday’s video call with my dear Sky Nash, a web camera really got angry on me when I showed my art and made the stupid pixels of it. We tried turning off the web cam a few times and it worked properly until the moment I showed my art – pixels again!

One more busy but very creative week called *School of creativity – Novigradsko proljeće* is in front of me, a week which has changed my life exactly 8 years ago when I took my first photo with the fabulous camera obscura and actually discovered photography in the darkroom. I’m very grateful to all people who supported me when I was (only) 10 years old. Thank you friends, thank you family, thank you all. Then, about 8 years ago, photography maybe was not so serious business to me but now the whole story has changed and my teenage beginning deserves a spontaneous clapping, yay! Because it is for the win, really.

That’s simply my favorite week of the year because all my creative friends are coming to my town, my ex elementary school, to express their imagination. They are kids from all over the country, all ages – from 10 to 20. We have chose our workshop (for example: dancing, acting, singing, drawing, photography, filmmaking and many more) yet and then all together will be working under one topic – this year it’s a CIRCUS.

Last few years when people saw me on the street they asked where is my camera. Hurey, they recognized me, I’m a photographer. So cool! They also started asking me for a review of their photos and some advices. No problem dear friends, you are so cute and I’m on your service 24/7.

In focus

Two years ago after my first solo exhibition titled “In focus”, journalist asked me a lot of questions. That was not my first time in media, but it was kinda serious. I published those photos on the internet and the feedback came very fast, thank you real-time-web. I’m very happy because the title of my first exhibition came true. I’ve finally got my audience. That’s the most valuable treasure which one artist can have. Respect to you all.

Remember, that’s was two years ago. Now, when people saw my growing-portfolio, they started hiring me. Awesome! I finally started making money from what I love to do, like in a dream. I worked whole summer to bought new equipment and I’ll do the same this year.

Let’s get back to the title, I finally found the battery charger without which I couldn’t work last two months. That’s two long months without photography. I’m a photographer, you remember that? And I need full-charged batteries to work. Photography is my biggest passion, I felt kinda lost those two months. First I thought somebody steal my battery charger, but fortunately I was wrong. It was hidden in the basket under brothers bed. How? I don’t know. Doesn’t matter, now I have to finish my school projects and get ready for the art academy. This is the last, but most difficult month before the summer. I wrote about my plans ‘n’ goals before and you will first know the details during next two months.

My name’s Yamille, I’m a 20 year old living in Mexico and a freelance photographer with a kick ass camera tattoo on my left arm.

I’m not gonna lie or say I was born with a lens, pencil, brush or anything that you want to read. I always wanted to be a professional musician, but after spending so many years playing and composing non-stop I took a camera almost four years ago. And it was love at first sight! Now, I get paid for doing what I enjoy the most. Clients include some of my favorite bands like Mono (JPN) and Chris Corner (IAMX). Being a photographer also means traveling a lot and sleeping on friend’s couches most of the weekends far away from home, partying like a rockstar and staying up until ridiculous hours of the morning working on lighting techniques.

My name is Giulia but you can call me just Yun, it became my nickname a long time ago and Internet knows me that way. Writing from Rome, Italy, right now I am attending my third and last year of Graphic Design at the Rome University of Fine Arts. During these three years I discovered photography and I just fell in love with the whole world it is, I bought a Canon 500D and though I am still learning how to use it properly, I can say I am making little progress. But let’s stop talking about me.

So today I’d like to talk about photography but in the opposite direction: we usually always see what a camera is seeing, the result of the photography process, what the artist wants us to see. Instead, I want to share with you some pictures of the little but powerful (and cute) monsters that let us capture all the good moments of our lives: the cameras themselves. I always thought digital but mostly analogic cameras are very fascinating and really great subjects; so, I wanna guide you through some photographs I like a lot that show us what’s behind every picture.

I discovered the following picture yesterday and I must say I really like the fact that the camera looks like a person, it’s the real and living subject of the shot.

I love books, there is no such thing as owning too many, it’s more like I don’t own enough. I was going to share lots of books, but then I thought, why not just show five special ones.

Paper: Tear, Fold, Rip, Crease, Cut

I’m doing a degree in book arts and design, so I spend a lot of time using paper to create and this is a great book for inspiration, it shows many different ways you can use paper to create something from fashion pieces to illustrations.

My bags are almost ready and for less than 1 hour I’ll be in Hotel Laguna attending the seminar for animators, that supose to be my summer job. I asked for guest blogging help because I’ll be very busy whole week of training. So, my dear guests Sky Nash (featured in two articles before), Yamille Marmont and Giulia Scifoni a.k.a. Yun will help me by publishing their articles and keeping this blog active. For the win girls.

I didn’t understand anything what they sang, but they were so awesome and I decided to share their super creative idea. This music video was shot for Sour’s ‘Hibi no Neiro’ (Tone of everyday) from their first mini album ‘Water Flavor EP’. The cast were selected from the actual Sour fan base, from many countries around the world. Each person and scene was filmed purely via webcam.

Yey! We got new submission from DwA’s Flickr group. It’s actually just one photo, second one, but I was curious and searched for more. She’s “hiding” behind the nickname Cobeliks, but that’s just about name. Cobeliks publishes almost every cool moment from her life. You can follow her on Twitter and see her unrehearsed photos on Flickr.
