David Creedon
much like Robert Polidori's
abandoned Chernobyl classrooms and crumbling Cuban interiors,
Creedon captures the lingering mood of departure
in Ireland's rural areas within his hauntingly beautiful photo essay:
"Ghosts of the Faithful Departed"

on the walls of Beijing
chinoiserie meets militarism

I love these notebooks I purchased from
a market merchant in beijing

they are:

physically delicate
graphically bold

, tent is home
Architects FAR frohn & rojas
designed the Wall House in Santiago de Chile

I have always found tents to be so architectural
simply zipping and unzipping a tent
folding the flap, adding the mosquito net and adjusting the stakes
suddenly changes the form and spatial composition of the tent

...and the variety of angles!

I love how all of this happens with such great simplicity and practicality

Beijing toys...just lying on the floor
I don't think these were recalled though. No polly-pockets here.
Just trains, plains and motorcycles with side cars; the good old stuff
and quite possibly
...some lead.

Fall 2007
I've got the blues for Lacoste
...and for these looks too

there's quite a resemblance between
Balenciaga + Clare Grill


The geological undertones are like
Richard Diebenkorn paintings. Thus,

Design*Sponge reminds us to check out Clare's
rad tents + mountains too.

William Eggleston

Raised on a cotton plantation in the Sumner, Mississippi
Eggleston captured the most ordinary moments of
1960's and 70's American life

rows of country mail boxes, a cafeteria counter,
a lonesome hotel room, Graceland, electrical cords,
living rooms, kudzu vines, messy refrigerators,
a cowboy in a phone booth

uncanny, mundane, honest
I think Robert Venturi called it:
everyday vernacular; low-culture

it all reminds me of
The Virgin Suicides
a film by, Sofia Coppola

Rosa Pomar de Lisbon
photographer & baby-sling maker
One of the most inspiring blogs I've stumbled upon
the thoughtful eclecticism & art direction reminds me of
pedro almodovar
todo sobre mi madre
volver


Volver - Pedro Almodovar

una mezcla rica de:
wallpapers, textures, graphics, patterns and weaves
vibrant african prints and bright florals
it so lovely to see Rosa's own children
bundled up in her worldly tapestries
I can almost hear Césaria Evora
singing in the background

{this is pure happiness}
