If every girl from the 1950's looked this good in Rockabilly fashion, it never would have went out of style. Ulya Trukhina pulls off the beauty and innocence of the bygone days with perfection. Thank you Yana Kalina for bringing us this amazing set.
Free People features some great shots of Ashley Smith for their July 2011 catalogue. I love the colorful touches on the edges. The photos are great without them, but I like the color they add. Photographed by Alexandra Valenti in Austin, Texas. Check out her site to see some more great shots from this catalogue.

From Bill Jemison, "This was a "hidden gem" taken at the same time as my ribbon winner from the "Celebration" challenge. It was only after quite a bit of effort that the underlying beauty of the image appeared. This was a misty morning during the 2005 Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta and I took the shot from a hill in Rio Rancho, NM where I live as the balloons drifted northward along the Rio Grande River in the bosque (river forest).

This is an awesome photoetched Christmas and New Year's card made of .2mm hardened steel. It was created by Daniel Bjugård in collaboration with Mikroponent AB. It's a pretty awesome take on a normally conventional product.

I think we can all appreciate his eye for the beautiful.
On Sunday, May 20, 2012, there was an annular solar eclipse. This occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and Sun, but the Moon's diameter appears smaller than the Sun. This creates a ring that is also known as the Ring of Fire. Here are some of the great pictures from the event.
Loving the serene landscapes and calmness of Jeffry Surianto's photos. He has a great eye for spotting beautiful landscapes and capturing people in their element. I like how he captures people in the moment as opposed to staging them. It gives the photos a more genuine feel.
