Photographer Nick Meek

I never know where my daily cyber travels will take me.  Troy and I decided to rent a nice apartment in Evanston while we figure out the home buying vs. home building game plan.  And so naturally I am already decorating the new apartment in my mind and scouring the internet for inspiration.  I've decided we need a new rug for the living room and I am utilizing all of my resources to find something decidely awesome, unique and inexpensive (wish us luck).  So while looking for inspiration, I happened upon a post on Apartment Therapy that featured a print by photographer Nick Meek.  I responded to it immediately.  It's exactly the kind of work I want in my house.  I am especially eyeing the one of El Capitan (for those of you who don't rock climb, it's a big cliff in Yosemite National park) with the bright yellow leaves in the foreground.  But really, I respond to all of his pieces.  There is something very clean and also very dreamlike about the work and the distortion of color is pretty fantastic too.

I'm not sure yet if buying one of his pieces is realistic, or totally out of my price range.  I'll be looking into it in the coming weeks.  But just thought I'd share the loveliness for now.
