Erin Blatzer says: There's just so much here - the silhouette, the composition, the b&w. I love this image, especially because it features a person, something I have thus far been very unsuccessful at capturing well.

Erin Blatzer says: Karen is without doubt my favorite photographer of people. And I think her eye comes from truly seeing them and what makes them beautiful.

I can't believe how well this shot turned out, given the number of light sources shining. Awesome.

Erin Blatzer says: I LOVE the adventures of Wage and Icebat. Sandy finds such creative ways to incorporate these clever characters into her shots - and they always force an interesting new perspective. Definitely inspiration to break Domo's homebody streak.
