Pencil sculptures

Wow i came across the work of Dalton Ghetti today, and i loved how he has turned the lead of pencils into micro sculptures. It's an amazingly intricate process, and i think that he must be so skilled! He uses a razor blade, sewing needle and sculpting knife to create them.

globe trotting

During the summer, i spent some time in California. I made a trip to Yosemite National park and i loved the place. The views were just out of this wide, a photographers paradise. THis really inspired me to look morely closely at the work of Ansel Adams. Ive seen his work a lot, after all which photography student hasn't, but id never really appreciated the beauty of them, and by being there, the pictures took me back to those places, and i knew just how amazingly accurate his pictures were.

Ansel Adams is an amazing photographer, and hes now become one of my absoloute favourites. I purchased his 400 photographs book and can't stop looking at it!!
Heres some of his magic!
