Afternoon folks 😉
I have a bit of a 'Saturday Secret' to share with you today, a website that selfishly, I'd like to keep just for myself. But, it's contents are just too wonderful and inspirational.
Some of you might well be aware of the concept of Cinemagraphs aready, but for those who don't know, a cinemagraph is 'an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly' – that is, according to the pioneers of this ever-so-clever way of sharing 'that' moment {moments?} in time via photographic imagery, Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg.

Isn't that image above just extraordinary? I can't stop staring at it.
It was through New York Photographer Jamie Beck's truly wonderful 'From Me To You' blog that I first discovered the concept of Cinemagraphs some months ago. And I admit when I did, I was decidedly freaked out by some of the images {those blinking, slightly shifty looking eyes, just seemed a bit too weird at the time}.
However I'm finding myself drawn more and more to this concept of imagery and now I absolutely adore it and cannot get enough…
But what has this got to do with weddings, you might ask?
Well, as a blogger who features an awful lot of photographs on her blog, I am always looking for the next thing. As a Wedding Blogger, in a few years time, will I find myself featuring more Cinemagraphs like these ones? Is this the future of images on the web? An image that captures not just one moment in time, but several precious seconds – an image that feeds our imagination just that little bit more?
These images aren't my secret by the way, my secret was the blog that belongs to the wonderful Photographer that is Jamie Beck. I have lost many an hour on that blog over the past 12 months taking and being influenced by the author's personal sense of style – that's her below. Somet things you wish you could keep all to yourself…
Isn't that lovely?
Some more beautiful imagery from the Cinemagraphs website…
You can see many more Cinemagraphs documenting New York Life, New York Fashion Week, Food and other subjects over at the Cinemagraphs website.
I'd love to hear your thoughts?
Love or loathe?
Wedding Photographers – what do you think?
Are you intrigued by these images, would you like to see them become more common place throughout the blogosphere?
Be sure to pop on over to my little secret, the From Me To You blog too 😉
Much love all,
Annabel xXx
