Learning, Burning, and Yearning

I'm a designer at a Sacramento-based advertising firm. This is stuff I want to know more about, stuff that inspires me, and will occasionally be stuff that I do. You can find my portfolio at brianfhellam.com I recently had someone ask why I don't tag my posts much or why I don't try to promote my Tumblr blog. Again, this is really my place to bookmark ideas and things that inspire me. This isn't about generating followers, although I appreciate the ones I have.

Ancient Trees: Beth Moon Spends 14 Years Photographing World’s Oldest Trees

Beth Moon, a photographer based in San Francisco, has been searching for the world’s oldest trees for the past 14 years. She has traveled all around the globe to capture the most magnificent trees that grow in remote locations and look as old as the world itself.

“Standing as the earth’s largest and oldest living monuments, I believe these symbolic trees will take on a greater significance, especially at a time when our focus is directed at finding better ways to live with the environment” writes Moon in her artist statement.

Sixty of Beth Moon’s duotone photos were published in a book titled “Ancient Trees: Portraits Of Time”. Here you can have a sneak preview of the book, full of strangest and most magnificent trees ever.

Packaging for Naked Senses by Maks Arbuzov & Pavel Gubin

“When you can feel without any distraction around. It gives you the true image of the world. Where unnecessary details and decorations don’t exist. Where just one touch can convey more than million characters. Only at this moment your senses become naked. You see what you have to see. You hear what you have to hear. You feel what you have to feel. Just bare your senses.”

Maksim Arbuzov is a graphic designer and art director from Moscow, Russia. Born in 1981 in Siberian city Tomsk. He studied branding and graphic design at Central Saint Martins and British Higher School of Art & Design, and has worked as a freelancer since 2002.
