Shared = remembered #1
Hey, I’m Shlomi Kramer, and this is Flâneur - a weekly note on photography, art, and life.
Once a week, I share what’s open in my Safari: links, thoughts, images, and whatever’s been living rent-free in my browser.
You get something interesting.
I get a lighter head.
Here’s what I’ve been orbiting this week:
1. Sarah van Rij — Info Page
Dutch photographer with a graphic eye and painterly compositions.
Even her bio feels like a moodboard.
2. Bruce Gilden – Only God Can Judge Me
Raw, intense, unapologetic.
Gilden's portraits don’t whisper — they punch you in the face.
3. Improvisation Lessons – Ritter Sax
Not just a recording, but an actual improvisation workshop.
Written in Russian, but very intuitive - breaks down how to play and feel your way through sax solos.
4. Intro/Outro Focus Music – Pixabay
Free background tracks that actually sound decent.
Bookmark-worthy if you make video, reels, or slideshows.
5. Franziska Stünkel – Art Projects
Photographs through glass, reflections, and time.
Her Coexist series is like visual jazz.
6. The Inspired Eye
Old-school street photography magazine with a passionate community.
Feels like something from the golden days of blogs.
7. 10 Lessons from Street Photography – Eric Kim
Surprisingly grounded and honest.
Less about cameras, more about how to see.
8. 7 Art Collecting Tips from a Fine Art Photographer – Kara Rosenlund
Simple, personal advice on how to start collecting art — without being rich, snobbish, or overwhelmed.
Useful if you want to buy your first piece or understand how collectors think.
9. Where did "bohemian" come from?
The word bohème was once used to label the Romani - poor, wandering, marginalized.
But thanks to Henri Murger’s 1840s novel Scènes de la vie de bohème, the term got a poetic upgrade.
10. Why are there rugs on tables in Dutch paintings?
Look closely at Golden Age Dutch paintings - you’ll often spot richly patterned rugs not on the floor, but draped across tables.
It’s weird. Impractical. Unsanitary.
Why would anyone eat off a rug?
11. Salt Haze in Jervis Bay – Kara Rosenlund
A gentle, airy look at coastal interior design.
Sunlight, soft colors, sea salt, and photography — moodboard vibes all the way.
12. Studio Tour – Kara Rosenlund
Behind the scenes of her creative space.
Where she edits, collects, plans — a lovely blend of order and intuition.
If you like it, share with a friend.
If not, just close the tab.
And if you feel like it, leave a comment. Or don’t. No pressure.
