This morning’s coffee ritual led me to 45° Angles and Momentary Awe. Both are the work of designer/photographer Catalin Marin. While it’s a little tough to find any personal info on Catalin, the work is all presented first and foremost. Projects on 45° Angles seem to fall primarily in the web realm, but Catalin’s photographic work is seriously impressive as well.

Most of that work seems to reside at Momentary Awe, a site that breaks down Catalin’s photography geographically. And there’s a LOT of beautiful images to peruse there. I’m particularly curious what the NYC photos were shot with; they definitely don’t look digital. Momentary Awe also features a travel blog that corresponds to Catalin’s travels and outlines some of the photos on the other site. Definitely take a few minutes with this morning’s cup to travel the world at Momentary Awe — it’s a vacation in and of itself.
