Alberta Photobloggers

This week's spotlight goes to Jesse of Fotographix. It was a tough week especially since last week was missed so I thought it only fair to go through the crazy beautiful amount of photos for the past two weeks. Wow - we have so much talent in this province people!!

This photo is incredibly emotive in colour and composition and I personally have a secret (or not so secret) love of all things filled with holga plastic goodness. I know that I adore my little piece of the plastic freeze frame : )

This photo is simply titled 'Holga' and leaves it to you to interpret as you will. Of note: it was taken in the rain and the film was pushed to 400 and cross processed which adds something wonderful here. Its good to be experimental!

Jesse has a photoblog at Fotographix as well as a flickr account at Defrosterj's Photos and he is the founder of Defrost a Calgary based network which has been showcasing talent since 2002. Good things!

This weeks spotlight showcases the work of a guy with a camera. I personally love the colours of that gorgeous sky but what strikes me most is the way the powerful depiction of sky towers over the industrial minimalist look of the refineries. This is a beautiful contrast that somehow changes the landscape of how we view the largeness of our industries here in Alberta.

You can also find wolf at my pic a day.

There is something about fire that enthralls, as the summer starts to draw to a close and the night starts coming earlier, the compelling vision of fire hits the spot. Michael blogs from the northern part of the province in Fort McMurray and his photos from the area are a real treat! Do go and visit Michael and give him some photobloggy love ...

This weeks spotlight is called 'Ornamental Grass' but what really struck me about this photo beyond the wonderful macro goodness is the colour. Such a beautiful medly of purple and greens with a touch of red. Gorgeous! Please do go and see idarknight's photos.
