What a nice peaceful picture! I’m not sure if it’s early morning or sunset but the light is soft and warm and the colors are splendid. I love cherry orchards and the fantastic colors they take when they blossom. It...
You know the deal, come early October and there are already Christmas decorations everywhere in town. I even spotted Christmas trees in a famous London department store in early July...
I don’t know if I ever told you but I’m a big fan of the color red, so when it’s displayed in a picture such as this one, I can’t resist. Maybe it’s the mix of the green and the shadows that attracted me to it, but I think it’s a great building. If you wan...
I was thinking of writing an article specifically about New York buildings as I fell in love with them again after spending a few days there last week. But while I was browsing the This is Now Flickr group I stumbled upon this picture and simply loved it straight away...
It’s my birthday today along with Swedish golfer Annika Sörenstam and English singer PJ Harvey. I must say it is something with birthdays. It is more special when you’re a kid, but still at the age of 22 I find it being one of my favourite days of the year. I g...
Light. What is more ‘now’ than light and what is less ‘now’ than light? Light has been with us forever and will keep on staying with us forever. It’s quite constant and is beautiful in all different shapes and forms; neon signs, candles, the sun…
Hi everyone, As you are probably aware, this blog highlights our favourite “now” images from the This is Now Flickr Group. Over the last 12 months, the Flickr Group has been capturing the essence of ‘now’ with images and videos bursting with originality. These ...
Today was the first day this year I really got the feeling that the fall is on its way. A chill wind came towards me and my arms covered with goose bumps. You can feel the air being cold despite the sun still shining its rays on us and you can almost smell the fall...
This picture is very powerful. I find myself feeling the electricity in the air and hearing the thunder just seconds before the whole sky lights up. It’s such an intense moment, I love it.
I saw this picture in the Flickr group and immediately got cravings for sweets. There really is something about sweets, and especially chocolate for me, that makes me forget most of the outside world. When I indulge myself in a piece of chocolate I really savour the moment...
I really like this picture. It’s the now for me: my life rushing by in a tube. It might sound sad, but it’s not. I really love London and all the travelling I need to do back and forth in the tube because at the end of the journey I always end up in a place I really enjoy.
Celebrating This is Now first anniversary really put me in a good mood this week so I thought I would celebrate with a couple of songs that made me smile this last few days...
This is a very happy week for all of us here: This is Now is celebrating its first birthday...
A few days ago, Ana celebrated Henri Cartier-Bresson in her blog post as one of the masters of ‘now’ in photography. Willy Ronis was also one of them. I went to see a retrospective of his work a few years ago in Paris. Th...
What I love about this picture is the perspective. The girl in the front looking away, the sentence “Very Normal People”, the arch and the landscape in the distance. The eye is pulled in two different directions which makes this photo truly fantastic.
