Strange & Beautiful: Random Loveliness - Part 1

I have a file on my computer titled "Strange & Beautiful". Currently there are over 1,800 pictures in it.

Whenever I come across a picture that strikes me or inspires me in some way, I save it to my Strange & Beautiful file. Some of the pictures are beautiful, some are very unusual and eccentric, some are cute, some are sexy, some are not so sexy, some are disturbing, some are funny, some romantic, some bitter, some dark and depressing, some I like simply for the fashion, some fuel my creativity, some make me think, some fascinate me, some scare me, some pictures I want to draw or want to draw inspiration from in my own photography, etc. They are all unique and each picture fills me with some kind of emotion in one way or another.

I've been wanting to share these pictures on this blog for a long time. I feel like my friend George from England deserves some credit as he was the one who inspired me to post my own pictures that I have collected. Some of my own collection came from him. Thanks, George! :) Oh, and do visit his blog, he's a beautiful person: http://edgeindustrialphotography.blogspot.com/

I think these picture blogs are more revealing than blogs that use words. I'm sure you may start to notice certain patterns in the pictures I post and maybe you'll discover more about me by looking at them than from what I have ever written about myself. You'll begin to see what I'm particularly drawn to and what fascinates me.

I have so many pictures so I will be posting several of these over the next few days...possibly weeks.

Oh, and just a heads up...
WARNING: To those of you who may be sensitive viewers, some of these blogs may contain pictures with some nudity (not pornographic). So, if you are shocked by the occasional nipple, butt crack, or girls sitting around in their underwear, then a few of these pics might offend you.

...That's all for now... but there will be much much more to come...

  2. haha you *did* the post!!!
    I love it - now I know what others see when they
    look at mine ... I get it a bit but it's different
    cause I know what's coming

    I love your how you described your reasons for liking
    the pictures ... I'm just like 'here are some random
    pictures!!' and I love how you wrote this

    'I think these picture blogs are more revealing than
    blogs that use words'

    my faves:

    r.smith tape one!! dalai lama
    racoons(?) in the tree - too.much.cuteness
    zooey d ... everything has beauty
    B+W deer ... cat sitting on dog(!)
    too weird to live/too rare to die
    snoopy

    and I loved seeing which ones that I've used
    that you've used too ... really loved that
    it's funny seeing them out of context and
    on someone else's blog - they seem so much
    more powerful ... which I didn't expect

    thanks for what you wrote JoJo, you made me smile :)
    George
