Savor the Passing Moments

Jaime Beck and Kevin Burg create beautiful animated GIFs designed to"tell more of a story than a single still frame photograph" but without "the high maintenance aspect of a video." Well, nothing meets those requirements than a simple animated GIF. The creations can take several hours with Beck taking the photographs and designer Kevin Burg adding the movement and final touches.

What we are left with is what many would have thought as the impossible. GIFs as art. And, not only that - GIFs as meaningful art, seeking to teach us to be aware of the simple beauty in the everyday. Read more about their creations here and see truly beautiful work on their tumblr

Very cool! As an avid photographer, I can appreciate the integration of the two mediums. It does feel like a photograph (composition) with a layering of complexity!
