News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere: July 17, 2008

This week's edition of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere is pretty photo intensive. What can I say? Photography can be fashionable, historical, stylish, thought-provoking, haute or gauche, and the blogosphere brings all of that and more to your RSS reader.

Here's what I'm excited about this week...

Getting to know people in their space is such a personal, intimate thing. The Selby, an interiors project of fashion/commercial photographer Todd Selby, shows the apartments (including exterior and entrances!) of New Yorkers who don't have "perfect," magazine style aesthetic (who does, really?), but imperfect, character-filled spaces that match their personalities, and are actually lived in. Very interesting, very cool. [Via For Me, For You]

The photography of William Gedney is like a portal to another time. The New York in this thirty year retrospective (1954-1984) is not whitewashed; instead, Gedney's visceral compositions portray society figures, the psychedelic era and on-the-street candids of Brooklyn's Myrtle Avenue. They're as real now as they were then, and quite intriguing. [Via Routine Investigations]

On the more professional side of home decor, Martyn Thompson's style is unparallelled. His range goes in so many directions, and I love all of it. (This one in particular. So cool and calm.) [Via Desire to Inspire]

Sally Jane Vintage recently ventured to an abandoned clothing factory in Maryland to look for treasures. (Combining two of my favorite things: abandoned buildings and vintage clothing. Love it.) Her photos are incredible. Wish I could've been there!

Need some new shades since the other pair was a. sat on, b. lost in the ocean, or c. flew out a car window? Go vintage. Vintage Indie has some great picks for all your sunglass needs.

There is something so demure and French about Dorothy Lee's fall/winter collection. The model reminds me of Brigitte Bardot. [Via Dress of the Day]

Wanna give me some more artsy, style or design blogs to peruse? Leave them in the comments! And check out past installments of News From the Craft + Style Blogosphere!
