It’s been a bit of a rough week (more on that on Monday), but I’d like to end of the week on a good note. Some photos from the portfolio of one of Sweden’s most established international photographers will do quite nicely (and since we’re on such a Swedish kick). “Though Magnus Marding is an international photographer in every aspect, there is also a very distinct Nordic touch – a certain cleanness, intimacy, simplicity and timeless yet modern beauty“. Exactly.

Nina wrote us recently with a request: “I am finally undertaking a major renovation of our house, and am updating it to be more interesting, modern, and functional. As part of this, I want to change the shape of our boring arch-ways between rooms (living and hallway, and kitchen and hallway). Do you have any pictures like that? My house is otherwise rectangular and boring, and I want to do some different for those pass throughs.” Most people don’t bother to spruce up something as simple as an archway – love that you’re choosing to be creative with yours Nina! Here’s some inspiration for you.

Things are a little more chaotic than usual here at Casa di Kim, as I have taken on another cat challenge and I have one of my strays locked in my upstairs bathroom waiting to go to the vets. (Fingers crossed, as his infected eyes may not be fixable). Anyway, the photography skills of Ngoc Minh Ngo are so fantastic there’s not really much to say except WOW, and more seen in this earlier post here.

And this is one of my favourite photos…ever. (and Jo’s).

I stumbled upon yet another photographer’s website that has me wishing I had more time to devote to photography. David Prince’s portfolio is full of beautifully shot interiors and still life, and I really admire his creativity at composition – his angles create so much depth and intrigue. Gorgeous. Here’s a small sample.
