Young Photographer Series: Leïla Berney (17)
“Photography, to me, is a gift and a privilege offered to us all as a means to capture moments in time forever. When I pick up a camera, a sort of rush comes over me… a NEED to capture something pure, something raw, something beautiful, and to share it with as many people as I can. It is a veritable high to be able to take a photograph and then have that memory become tangible. In a world that has experienced so much hardship, I think we are all seeking for beauty in some way, shape or form. I also think that, overwhelmed by our fast-paced society, we sometimes overlook the simple beauty that is all around us, the beauty that is LIFE. I want my photos to make you feel something real- joy, fear, awe, confusion, serenity, love, anger… and I hope that if you glance through my lens you will discover that beauty really is everywhere if you would only take the time to look and see.”

Elderly in Photography
After the recent popularity of Women in Photography I was approached with many complaints that the collection only showcased photographs of young, skinny, white women. This was distressing to me because I believe there is beauty in all people. Therefore I was inspired to search the internet and find more examples of extraordinary photographers and photographs. I would like to share some of the best images I found of elderly people and promote the photographers who took them. Please share any more photographers or photographs in the comments.

The Most Interesting Search Terms of 2009
This post is just for fun. One of my favorite things to do is browse through search terms that people have used to find the Nonsense Society. I wanted to share some highlights of the year so far. Some are hilarious, some are gross, some are dirty, and some are very sad. I don’t understand how some of these people find us. Regardless, they are great and the anonymity makes them better. Whether you connect emotionally with them, want to fight them, or just laugh, I hope you enjoy this post.

Young Photographer Series: Tania Carvalho (22)
“Photography never started as a hobby. I always loved to take pictures, it’s how I see people and the details. As someone once said, pictures are forever. Those we can keep, those are the memories we will never forget. Photography is my way of showing this world people, the way I see them, the way I see the world and how beautiful anyone, and anything can be. It really means, everything. It’s my passion, my best friend, my guide, my lover.” – Tania Carvalho

An Interview With Fábio Sasso
I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Fábio Sasso. He is a graphic designer, web-designer, and creator of the awesome design blog Abduzeedo (you might have heard of it). If you haven’t heard of Abduzeedo, you need to check it out. It’s an incredible resource for getting inspired and learning about design. In fact, Abduzeedo consistently acts as an inspiration for us at the Nonsense Society. Besides his business, Fábio is just a super nice guy. What strikes me about Fábio is that he never tried to make Abduzeedo a huge thing. It kinda just happened because he was doing what he loved. Everything he did you can do right now. Keep reading to find out how he created his own success.
