Hello photographers!
Welcome to another week of One More Blog! My name is Owl Eye and I’m very excited to be back with the blog team. I’ve enjoyed following the growing number of contributors and seeing a snippet into what catches their eye. From the past week I’ve selected six Gems from what turned into a very productive and worthy week of examples. I encourage you to check out all the members galleries over the past week as I’m sure you’ll agree that One More Stop has a talented collective of members. 🙂
Let’s begin!
Gallery Gems
Ylli shares with us this week a wonderful photo of the National Library of Kosovo. While originally founded in the town of Prizren in 1944, the library was moved in 1982 to this unique building in the city of Pristina, the capital of Kosovo. Croatian architect Andrija Mutnjaković layered the metal “fishing net” over the cubical spaces with domed tops (numbering a total of 99). Two reading rooms of 400 seats total along with an amphitheater and enough room for two million volumes. I encourage you to look into this unique work of art some more. Ylli has done wonders for capturing the emotional impact that must be felt standing in its presence.
You can find more of Ylli’s work in his gallery below:
bluesquares took a walk in the woods and came upon some very interesting detail. I’ve personally enjoyed taking photos of plants at this stage of their journey to embrace the full return of the life cycle. Met with wonderful lighting and a dreamily shallow depth of field my eye was captivated for a quite a while.

The rabbit is one to always catch my eye. Something about the nature of time always seems to flow through to me when I find them in the wild. Zantanimus created a whimsical world of intrigue as I image the bunny going about their busy day among the roses. Which photos stand out to you in their gallery or Instagram?
Imagining another world, or maybe what this world would look like if our minds rendered wavelengths of light differently than they currently do is something I’m always keen to spend some time on. In this set of Lomo Turquoise photographs, davesunday allows the mind to explore spaces unknown with shifted color chemistry.
This soft, ethereal setting in Ireland brings forth a stillness within and Fabri has captured a perfect moment in time. Through the collection of panoramic photos you’re transported to the Irish countryside for a few moments.

Wrapping up this week’s gallery gems we have Taury once more with a great studio portrait set, something we don’t see much of in the galleries. While last week was devoted to the large format black and white process of capture, this week they bring us color in the digital realm with the Fuji X-Pro2. High-key and low-key portraits are incredibly captivating and I’m always eager to share an intimate setting photo such as found in this gallery.

Community Collaborations
Holga vs. Diana
While the epic battle rages on between the two iconic film cameras, Lithe has been busy creating unique ways of printing such as this gem.
Check out what else Lithe has been direct printing on in the Holga vs Diana channel:
The Postcard Project
Ben shares this postcard they received from davesunday.
The collaboration of mailing postcards around the world from our incredible community of photographers is just about wrapping up with some late entries sneaking through, and just as I settle enough to honor a promise made to a member to get a postcard mailed off to them. Thanks for your patience, Ben!
Check out the finishing touches to the project below:
As we close out another week, I wish to thank the One More Stop community for their support and education since joining. The safe, diverse, and inclusive environment has helped me to grow as a person, and as an artist. I am thankful for every member who shares their stories through their artwork and passes along their bits of knowledge and education to me. My hope is that this collective continues to offer a space for artists to engage and expand their talents long into the future and I hope to bring as much as I can to that mission as well. Enjoy the new week and we will see you next time at One More Blog!
