We’ve got more photo-blogging from the East. This time Ukrainian Igor Okunew has sent us over a set of images of his recent(ish) endeavours in Ukraine, and he still rules at black and white photography like no other brother.

Elena Tarchi was recently whisked around L.A. with her friend as a tour guide, camera in hand. This is the set of photos she came back with, brand spanking new and for Platform eyes only.

The couple Rafa Castells and Alba Yruela have returned to Barcelona for the summer and sent us the first part of their summer photo diaries. They say it’s getting hotter by the day, so night is the only time to escape with friends to the rooftops, beaches and parks until the sun rises again.

Bobby Doherty curated this week’s Best of Flickr and picked only vertical images. Why? Just because. He takes great photos and is generally a really great human being, so you better enjoy this.

This week’s Best of Flickr is curated by German photographer Marlon Kowalski. He’s given his selection the title “Die Liebe, die Liebe”, which actually means something way nicer than it sounds.

Even if it’s not so secret anymore, this has got to be one of the best festivals in the entire solar system. It looks like Jess Gough spent her time there messing about on the lake and running around in a childlike state of wonder instead of listening to any music, but who can blame her?

Best of Flickr is back after a little vacation and has brought with it the guest pickin’s from Katherine Squier, who comes all the way from Texas, U S of A. Katherine takes photographs of the faces and places around her and is the queen of finding good light to capture them in. She’s picked her favourite images of the moment from Flickr to share with y’all.

Ray Potes is a magazine editor/gallery curator/darkroom ninja/ general promoter of all good things photography. He was part of the team that put together the photo journal Hamburger Eyes, first printed 9 years ago in San Francisco. We asked Ray to explain a few of his images.

Photographer Ellen Rogers sent us over another beautiful shoot that has been lovingly developed and edited in the darkroom. No digital manipulation, this be the real deal. She’s even made crimped hair and a massive pair of horns look like the height of phasssion.

This week’s Best of Flickr comes all the way from Poland, curated by photographer Lukasz Wierzbowski. He calls this selection “The secret lives of charming boys”. It’s strictly dudes only.
