Photography by Delaney Allen

I just stumbled across Portland-based photographer Delaney Allen on Booooooom.com. I love the way all of his images portray a sense of magic and wonder from the the simplest aspects of life and nature.

Who knew dust particles and puffs of smoke could look this ethereal?

Following further research, I discovered that Allen released a book in 2010, Between Here and There.
The book is auto-biographical in nature, documenting the trials of a long distance relationship and its break-up via email. Deeply personal and heart-wrenchingly sentimental: it almost made me cry, and nothing makes me cry, not even the Notebook.

You can give the whole thing a little read HERE.
