Photography by Sze Tsung Leong



I am insatiable in my quest to be inspired and I am always excited to find a new artist that has me seeing something in a new way. Enter the photography of Sze Tsung Leong.

His images caught my attention right away. Hauntingly beautiful with a harmonious color palette, the graphic compositions evoke a sense of peaceful isolation that makes me feel like a secret observer in a moment in time.

I especially love the Horizons series where I can mix up the images to form a larger pattern. The Cities series speaks to my design background where I remove the literal and focus on color and composition. Timely elements of history, social responsibility and politics provide me with something new to be found each time I look a little closer.

Now you can lay down that hot beat you got bouncing in your head while waiting for the R train. Introducing BeatMaker app for the iPhone. Besides it's beautiful interface, I was surprised by it's capabilities. A multitrack sequencer, 16 pads like an MPC, and 2 effects channels with EQ. Download BeatPack, the desktop app that allows you to create your own kits. Strictly for the beat junkies.
