Happy Tuesday Collectors!
I must say I do prefer Tuesdays over Mondays, especially when I get to bring you fabulous new releases. Today's editions are by a Canadian artist who is currently living in New York studying for her Masters of Fine Art in Photography. Her fourth such educational endeavor! Elisa Schwalm currently has a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology as well as a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Photographic Studies. Oh, and did I mention that she also studied photography at the Speos Photographic Institue in Paris? If I sound amazed it's because I'm always in awe of those who are committed to pursuing the benefits of higher education. In fact, on a recent visit home to Toronto, Elisa and I had a delightful discussion about the advantages and disadvantages of being a professional student. I also got to hear firsthand the story behind today's images and I must say, it intrigued me even more. Elisa and I have emailed back and forth for a while now but when she sent me these images I knew instantly that I had to bring them to you. At first glance they might seem like ordinary landscape scenes. However, there is a whimsical, almost magical quality about these images that is very intriguing. I think Elisa described it best when she said she wanted the viewer to feel like that could "step into them".

I won't tell you much more about them as I want you to experience the images from your own point of view and let you see what you want in them. I will, however, leave you with one last instruction. Look closely. Look very, very closely!
I also want to share with you that we are now on Tumblr so feel free to drop by and check us out. Don't forget you can also follow us on Twitter or Facebook to get all the latest updates and news.
