Gorgeous Cities and Beautiful Landscapes (18 photos) If you're one of those people who needs to be inspired to pick up that dusty camera, take a look at Dietrich Bojko's photos. Bojko began his photographic career without even knowing it. While on vacation, he would take photos using a simple camera. In time, his hobby turned so intense that, in order to hone his skills, his father bought him a DSLR. After gradually upgrading to different cameras, he now shoots with a Nikon D50. "I started seriously with landscape photography in 2005," he says. "I really love nature and enjoying being outdoors in every weather situation. You would think that Bojko does a lot of post processing but that's where you'd be mistaken. Are there any tips he'd give to capturing these beautiful nature shots?

The Fine Art of Dogs (15 photos) British photographer Tim Flach sees animals in a completely different way. Having completed postgraduate studies at St. Martins School of Art London, Flach shoots stylized animal portraits that look more like fine art than framed shots of your puppy. Commercially trained as a professional photographer for over 25 years, Flach's conceptual style has been shaped by his background not just in photography but in, curiously, painted sculptures. Flach recently released a book called Dogs that's definitely worth a look. As the stunning follow-up to the critically acclaimed Equus, Flach "delves deep into the psyche of this enduring bond with Canis familiaris to present an exquisite study of “man’s best friend.” Make sure to hop on over to Flach's website to enjoy more of his amazing photos.

A Father Who Creatively Captures His Kids (20 photos) If there was a prize that could be given out to the most creative father, I'd hope that it was awarded to Jason Lee.
A wedding photographer by day, he's used to capturing some of the most important moments in a couple's lives. As a longtime fan of Jason's photos on Flickr however, I think the real magic happens when he turns the camera onto his daughters. Sure, his children are adorably cute in their own right, but that's not what makes his photos so interesting. It's when he puts his own spin on their everyday moments that we not only get to experience our own childhood again, we're able to see a father's pride shine through. I was able to get in touch with Jason to ask him a few questions.
