Photo[grapher] of the Day. 05.04.09
New Deal:
I fully realize there's
not many people (if any) that read this blog..
but even still, in an effort to try to showcase some
very good photographers that I've watched over the past
year to couple of years, daily I will try to post a photo or two
from my contacts on flickr as well as from my "favs" gallery on DA.
Todays: Tobias Brabansk
I've watched his work on DeviantArt for at least a year or so now
(he goes under the name CrazyTob on there) and have continually been
impressed by how simple yet intriguing his work is. He takes moments from
his everyday life and showcases them. I really dig that. Check out his gallery as well
as his blog.
