I do love these images of children and animals by photographer Maxine Helfman. They are too too lovely and really quite creepy. Am I allowed to say that about a child? I’m not sure. I think I can say that about a goose though. I’ve never liked geese. They’re far too pecky and flappity.

Wow. What a palaver. Reading the comments on 1854 (the blog of the British Journal of Photography), you’d think the Impossible Project had done the world a disservice releasing their new polaroid film this week. I say pish to all the whining naysayers who think the first batch isn’t up to scratch. Let’s look at the big picture (see what I did there) and rejoice. Film for our forgotten polaroid cameras! Oh joy of joys. And my, isn’t the packaging purty?

A dark and complex Shag in Perth
March 2, 2010 / By Madame Dent

What is it with these crazy creative beyond their years 15 year old girl child photographers (see also Olivia Bolles)? I’ve been peeping at Natalie Kucken‘s Flickr photograph a day and think she is and will be incredible. So much goodness to choose from, but I like her many images of things in mid air. And the way she gets so excited and exclaims “Straight out of the freakin’ camera!”.

The weather man promised us a little rain here in Perth, Western Australia and we’ve not seen hide nor hair of it yet (2mm in Mt Lawley? bah humbug!). Thanks Ingo Maurer for this art installation, thanks Jesús Manuel Nieto Bobadilla for your free-use image, thanks Brook Hall for your edited version, kindly made available for downloading and printing and framing and gazing at… the trickle-down effect in action. If the internet can do it, why can’t you little rain clouds?

Olivia Bolles‘ sweet photography has captured our hearts. We adore the way she plays with light and are mighty impressed by her storytelling ability. It’s hard to believe she’s only 15 years old. What a bright spark.

If you’ve ever seen Amélie, you may have a photo booth fondness. Montmartre is miles away, so thankfully Michael and Samm from Push the Button searched the world high and low for the perfect one and brought it back to Perth. How *flash* would it be to *expose* your peeps to a little shutterbug *shoot* at your next shindig? They might even find love while they’re in there.

How exquisite are these? M&D knows we can’t compete. May as well not even finish this post, because you’ll be picking up your mouse and scooting on over to the oh-so-clever Perth photographer Angela Higgins‘ website right now, won’t you? Wait, wait, wait. Be sure to peek at her blog too. Are they distant squeals of delight I can hear?
