Photography + Art Inspiration

Don't you just love the creativity and dedication that people put in towards art and photography? I love browsing through different art/photography blogs and losing myself after being redirected 4 or 5 times, ending up on random blogs from Bristol, Amsterdam, California or anywhere around the world. What I appreciate the most looking at photography blogs in particular is firstly the landscape; growing up as a child I always admired great scenery. Growing up in the suburbs, I didn't have much visual stimulation surrounding me. So when I started to visit more picturesque locations, my appreciation for architecture and natural scenery grew, hence my passion for travel was then instilled. 

Understanding the story behind art has always been a mystery also, because it's only the artist's themselves who truly know the story behind their work. Art comes in different shapes and sizes and every artist has their own particular style which makes them so unique. I'm really fascinated when I see a picture that portrays a story to me that when I ask for a second opinion, it's a completely different representation again. But thats the whole idea with art, its based on your own opinion and theres no right or wrong answer.

I've always said to myself though, once I've mastered photography - as in a point where I'm fully satisfied, I'll then soon one day travel and explore the rest of the world. Hmmm, I'd probably start from the hidden forests of Thailand then backpack my way through to the U.K. But for now, I'm stuck with admiring photos on the internet. Tell me what you think of the pictures I picked.
