“No place is boring, if you’ve had a good night’s sleep and have a pocket full of unexposed film”
Robert Adams, Darkroom & Creative Camera Techniques, May 1995
How true is this? Two of my favourite things in life (gosh, I have so many favourites though!) are photography and travel. Combined they bring some of the greatest [...]
While nursing a flat white on Saturday morning, I spied some fashion nugget rocking this shirt with tighty-tight blue jeans and a vest. I had completely forgotten about this tee and very excitedly described the aesthetic joy of it all to my companion… Please say hello to the ‘Que Sera Sera’ t-shirt by Sass and [...]
Ah, Fleet Foxes. I have been cranking this self-titled album all weekend. My picks of the bunch are the ‘Tiger Mountain Peasant Song’ and the beautiful ‘White Winter Hymnal’, which haunts my brain for hours at a time. I have to completely agree with the random commenter on youtube that stated “If you don’t [...]
So the 80’s are back. We knew it would happen… it appears that 20 years ago is always the fashion, a time far enough away that it’s become cool enough to reference. You best be preserving your early nineties Ninja Turtle garb because come 2010, that shit is going to be totally covetable.

Milliner Justin Smith is rapidly making a name for himself (at Style.com no less!) with his handmade head ornaments. Moving from owning a successful London hair salon seems to have been a breeze, after a few short years he debuted a collection at London Fashion Week. While Philip Treacy is a genius, it’s nice [...]
“Hi my name is Ladyhawke. I want you. I play a bunch of stuff and sing a bunch of stuff. Rad.”
My heart is beating like crazy for the sounds of Wellington fox Ladyhawke. She’s playing in Glastonbury very soon, has played with Soulwax and Peaches - and is totally going to take off, so I [...]
The lovely Sandra Naylor is a up and coming stylist based in Melbourne, Australia. While her online portfolio isn’t huge yet, her work is pretty amazing, especially when it comes to women’s fashion shoots.
“She has a keen eye for trends and relishes the challenge of sourcing unique or obscure items. Originally from New Zealand, [...]
Concrete rings from Designboom, designed by 22 design studio, Taiwan. There’s a lot of good stuff coming out of Taiwan now days. I’ve only been there on a one night stopover - I would love to go back and check out Taipei.
The concrete is an innovative use of an everyday resource. It reinforces that there [...]
