Momuments and Melodies

Photography by Anastasia Cazabon

I'm interested in this sentimental, style of photography that's popping up all over the internet. I think the message here is to draw images from your own life- not to go too far off the block in finding pictures, but rather to go within. Are these images too easy, too everyday? Or is there something deeper in the everyday that most of us are missing and maybe should spend more time with? Are these pictures better suited in a personal memory bank, or can they stand as fine art photography?

I enjoy Anastasia Cazabon's obsession with hair and the way her photographs build to create a loosely woven story. It always looks like there's more to the picture and you automatically fill in the blanks with your imagination.

Another photographer I've been following for a while is Camille Riley. The simple beauty of her pictures is astounding. Blended with art and poetry, they're life embracing and warm-fuzzy and read like a diary. So inspiring!
