Came across this photographer in BLOW photography magazine.
Nicholas Alan Cope creates beautiful abstracts with a nod to Lewis Baltz. Definitely worth a look.

Next in Blipfoto’s series of behind-the-scenes video’s of regular ‘Blippers’, is Katherine Ellis. This short film reveals how she manages a busy life, what makes her tick and why she chooses to tell her story on Blipfoto.
Vivian Maier
The work of Vivian Maier, one of America’s more insightful street photographers, has only just been discovered 2 years after her death.
John Maloof, a 29-year-old eBay entrepreneur acquired his first boxful of her negatives for $400 at an auction in 2007. He is only about one-tenth of the way into the task of scanning and archiving 100,000 negatives of hers in his possession, and they have yet to develop several hundred rolls of black-and-white film and about 600 color rolls.
What is known about Ms. Maier is that she was born in New York in 1926 and later moved to Chicago, where she worked for about 40 years as a nanny. On her days off, she wandered the streets of New York and Chicago, most often with a Rolleiflex twin-lens reflex camera. Apparently, she did not share her pictures with others. Many of them, she never saw herself. She left behind hundreds of undeveloped rolls.

Sylwia Kowalczyk - Temporal | Portraits series
I recently graduated with an MFA in photography from Edinburgh College of Art and my diploma project was selected for reGeneration2 (published by Thames and Hudson in June 2010, and an exhibition touring abroad including New York, Lausanne, Arles, South Africa, China etc.). My new website (www.sylwiakowalczyk.com) is now up and running.

I hope you will forgive a spot of shameless self promotion, but I have an exhibition opening in Edinburgh next weekend.
This is a show of seventeen silver prints of long exposure self portrait pinhole photographs, mostly from the Balancing Act series that I made in 2006 and 2007, exploring the gain, loss, and regain of my ability to stand between two major surgeries.
The exhibition runs until the 31st July, at Axolotl Gallery, 35 Dundas Street, Edinburgh EH3 6QQ.

Hey, just wanted to share my website (of sorts).
I have recently revived it after a long drought. An attempt to get my practice going again.
Comments, criticism and general musings welcome
Todd Hido
Todd Hido is one of my all time favourites! His work is predominantly landscapes, but he also does some beautiful portraits too. Mesmerising stuff…
