love my mom's
recycled can-tab belt
made locally
in baja


and her classic
silver birkenstocks


speaking of family,
coco sumner sounds
a lot like her father.

juan ignacio moralejo
uses the internet better
than anyone.




I have followed
Juan's projects from
sede to postal
to molde to
foco



and now
correspondencia



all brilliant.
quiet in a way.



ephemeral.


and of the moment
like a traveler never
sure where next.


but with a strong belief
in continuing the journey
for what may lie ahead.



what I like most
about Juan, as a
designer and
creator...



is that he's not afraid
to terminate an idea.


physically delete a website
or cease a printed publication
so a new idea can grow
in it's place.



(always as thoughtful
and considered
as the last)



In this day in age
we must stay true
to our medium



the web is no
place for content
to linger, grow stale,
and collect dust.



and the same
can be said for print.




with creation
comes responsibility.

colonial elegance

in my dream life
it would be 1928
mexico


I would live
in the house of brick
with big old wooden doors



wear long dresses



weave ribbons
in my hair



open a theater!



and take my
red & blue boat out
for pearl diving.





and your
dream life?

i'm incredibly
proud to share with
you the latest film by
tyler manson.


its quite
rare to see such
quality filmmaking
and storytelling


and I'm not saying
this because tyler is
my bro in law.


or because i'm
a devoted follower
of Scott Schuman
"The Sartorialist"


everyone knows
that I'm very strict about
what i put on 2 or 3


and will go hungry for days,
not posting a thing and
I apologize for that.


but today
i finally feel
like I've caught
a real big fish


that is truly
inline with the
aesthetic of
this blog:


simple words
clean images and
a sensitive eye.



watch it big




ps:

in a few days
I will open up a dialogue
on the newest trend in advertising:
the subtle messaging of brands
via creative storytelling.




get ready.

peter nencini

i just had to
post him again



blue valentine

i have 2 bags



a tote and a
leather satchel



it couldn't
be more simple.
one aids as a purse
and the canvas tote
carries things,
lots of things



I was in a wood
shop yesterday and
a very manly man
commented on
both of my
bags.



i was flattered
because not often
does design speak to
a universal beauty.



he reaffirmed
the importance
of a good bag.




without a question
my makr is my most
loyal companion.

for all you boomers,
my fathers got some
news for you



and it's looking
pretty good.

what's next




ps:

do you think
boomers have a
place in the media?



are you a
boomer with
a story?

there's nothing
like a built-in desk
with a window view



leonard koren

as well.

NYC Marathon

the 10 female
runners in the lead.
with a few trailing
not far behind.

and then
the men came



and the rest
of the masses.

i don't mean to boast
but i think myself and my
neighbors were some of the
most dedicated cheerleaders
at the nyc marathon.


the runners looked
exhausted as they were
nearing the halfway mark
of the 26.5 mile course,
in bed stuy brooklyn.


and this ain't
manhattan or the
prettiest part of bk so
we had to give them
everything we had


it's amazing
when you call out
a runner's name and
the pain in their face
relieves for a moment
and they give u the most
genuine smile you've
ever seen.



what amazing
display of endurance.
i will be stoked for
a week.



cheers to
all the people
who ran today.



y'all were
insane!
