Today’s bit of inspiration comes in the form of video made by Philip Bloom. I’ve mentioned him in the past before with some beautiful shots of the Bay Area. What’s most interesting to keep in mind about what the photographer did in this case was to sit there with his camera for 24-hour periods capturing this stuff. I don’t think...
