Hengki Koentjoro is a magnificent photographer that was introduced to me by the also amazing Trey Ratcliff. He focuses on black and white images with striking contrast and dramatic views, they are the type of thing I can just stare at and lose myself in. Take a look at his portfolio here on his website and if you have Google+ then you can see a lot more of his images in a larger size here.

One of the most beautiful performers and artists I have ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Andy Hull inspires me every day in many different ways. Take a look at this solemn performance from his newly released album and hopefully it will inspire you as well.

A masterpiece. There are no real words that can describe his pieces, like with all great music only ears can do it justice. He has two albums available to my knowledge which are called New History Warfare Volume One and Two, buy them on iTunes or wherever you like to support artists. Do you know of someone that puts out pieces as amazing as this? If so then share them! Let us all exerience emotion through their sound.
Stumbled upon this model a little over a month ago now as I was looking through many different photographers portfolios and I seemed to keep coming back to her work. It seems that everything she is involved with is interesting and has a unique point of view on the world which I very much appreciate so I wanted to feature her here and encourage you to keep up with her work as I have.
Jessa Peters has so far as I've followed her been very prolific in all areas of imagery and always presented an honest and refreshing point of view, please take a few minutes to check out both her modeling work at the link here and her art at the link here. If it doesn't make you look at at least one thing differently I will be surprised.

This image created by Philippe Halsman is one of my favorites of all time. In my eyes it captures everything it means to be human. I look at it every day for inspiration and after nearly a year I still enjoy it each day.

Imagery is what I love, if you're here then you probably love it in some way as well. That said here is an artist that will poke the cobweb covered corners of your mind such as the image to the left done for a collection of Russian fairy tales.
Kate Baylay does work for many fairy tale that seem to provoke the image from her, when you look at them it's almost like you can see her imagination at work.
Take a look at her work here, it is all pretty astounding.

Went out walking tonight at a beautiful garden with a windy storm blowing in and the sun setting through a mountain of clouds and regardless of all of the scenery zero inspiration struck me. That being said I have no image for you today but instead a short video that continues to inspire me. No matter what you think of the song this video is just genius, if you have fine minutes then take a look.
I don't have a daily photo to share with you today so instead here is something that may inspire you to go create something beautiful.
The Yoshida brothers are two amazing Japanese musicians with some amazing stuff out there that everyone should at least give one play through. This is what I would say is their most accessable track, a remake of a piece from The Nightmare Before Christmas that was featured on the Nightmare Revisted soundtrack. Let me know what you think of it in the comments.
Quantic Dream, a company that has done some amazingly unique things in gaming has released a techinical demo of their new software engine and if you are like me, used to seeing tech demos of a lot of bouncing balls or floating rubber ducks and falling blocks or running soldiers then this video is the most refreshing and emotional take on a technical demo to date.
The demo itself is much more of a short film and pulls at many strings in me that I think are just wonderful.
They offer a look behind the scenes of the video here and have done similar videos in the past such as this one, an engine demo for what later became Heavy Rain.
