from sweden with love.
i heard from a lovely and really talented photographer last week, ulrica wihlborg, who shared these incredibly beautiful shots she took of this very grand swedish home she thought y’all might like to see. It’s airy, clean and full of lovely light…and very Swedish with its white color scheme and simplicity. just stunning!
Ulrica was born and and raised in Sweden before moving to the states, and now divides her time between San Francisco and Los Angeles. She has worked as a feature writer and magazine editor for Time Inc. for over a decade, while developing her own photographic style and skills for the past seven years. Ulrica’s photography is influenced by her Scandinavian aesthetics with its clean, organic lines. Ulrica loves film photography and rarely leaves home without a medium-format camera. For more of her beautiful work, please visit ulrica’s website.

a little while ago, i was invited by the lovely and talented photographer, julie michelle, to participate in her photographic story telling project i live here:sf. julie took me out to one of my favorite spots, macondray lane from armistead maupin’s famed san francisco series tales of the city, and took a series of photographs of me.
i was nervous, but julie put me at ease and we had a great time wandering around russian hill shooting pics. she then asked me to write my san francisco story. i am happy and honored to share how i came to live in san francisco, and be a part of julie’s project! so pop on over to julie’s beautiful blog i live here:sf if you’d like to read more. thanks julie!!

flickr curator: abby try again.
this week’s flickr curator is one of my very favorite photographers, abby powell-thompson, aka abbytrysagain of flickr fame. abby shares her own work in her photography shop abby try again, and on her blog of the same name. i think you’ll find her lifestyle photography brings a smile to your face, and a sense of real joy in the way she is able to capture even life’s simpliest moments. i’m excited to share abby’s own inspiration through this set of her curated flickr faves.
abby has this to say about her curated set: “My flickr favorites are images I hold close to my heart. Whenever I need a boost in my mood, a bit of inspiration, or just need to calm down-I make a beeline for them! This particular set reflects my love of color, light, my love of moody shots, and my love of Japanese photographers. I also love adding shots that are a bit mysterious, or leave the onlooker guessing. I feel lucky to be able to glean inspiration on a daily basis from flickr.”

[ guest post: jo from desire to inspire. ]
The stellar designers stay in our minds. The names, the signature style, the “it” look. I have had many designer crushes. These days though, after almost three years with Desire to Inspire, I have come to truly admire, to look up to and seek inspiration from my new main squeezes. I’m batting for the other team … the photographers. Edmund Sumner grew up with architects and designers. Edmund Sumner is a photographer, an extraordinary one. There is so much to devour on his website but I have decided to share just one home he has captured through his lens. It’s an artist’s residence in Japan. Simple perfection and simply perfect photos. Enjoy.
