Photography: Vintage American signage

Browsing through Instagram (an App for iPhone users to take photos and share them with the world) we discovered these wonderful photographs of mid-1900s, Googie-inspired signage by Bill Rose. Under the pseudo-name Recapturist, Bill documents these fantastic architectural monuments' combination of colour, typography and geometric and sometimes space-themed shapes to build up signage that, with the help of flashing lights, just popped out to lure in passing travellers. Sadly, many of these signs are falling into disrepair, but with the help of Recapturist, their existence and once-adored beauty will be preserved.

To see more of Bill's photographs or to purchase some of them as prints, go to Recapturist's website.

Typography: Photos by Christian Liljeberg

It is no secret that we adore Instagram, an App for iPhone users to take photos and share them with the world. We discovered Christian Liljeberg's photos on Instagram, a Swedish typography enthusiast who takes photographs with his iPhone of the most poetic instances of typography on signs, bicycles, pavements and fire hydrants to name but a few. 

His compositions are harmoniously crafted with the presence of colour and texture playing as important role as the type itself. The photos portray a sweet nostalgia, and documents the changes the weather and human involvement bring.

The great news is that you don't have to admire his photographs only on Instagram or on the Instagram web viewer called Statigram, but you can also get your own canvas prints of Liljeberg's photographs!

Travel Delights: Stacked Crates

This photograph is of an entrance to a beer distribution office, taken in Xai Xai, Mozambique, while on holiday there. It was quite intriguing to see the black and yellow beer crates stacked on top of each other, creating a pixelated wall in front of the main building.
