1825 - 1908

Beato was a war photographer
and one of the first to take
pictures of east asia.



the muted colors
are incredible.

its cold here.


long dresses & dark
layering of cloth captures
wind quite beautifully.

and I'm so bummed
I missed chanel mobile


I peeked
through a copy
of the mag Chanel
produced for the NYC
exhibition and really dug
all the full bleed photo
spreads shot by
lagerfield.


...good b&w photos
for the young vagabond
to tear out and hang in a
temporary residence or
in a new empty apt.


instant
art for the
broke.


do you
know where I
can find a copy?

part II





I have this great desire
to dress 19th c victorian.
But do it minimally





I would wear long skirts
and lace-up boots
with a simple
blouse



The key is to
do it in a way that
doesn't make it look
too historical or like
a period costume.

subtle
referential
modesty

weekend retreat

J. Morgan Puett gets it.




she is site sensitive.

she reinvents historical fashions.

and she takes a great interest
in working people's clothing
from the 1900-1930s.

a historic
day.

and this is the america
I missed so much.
Its good to be
back.


3 other
things that
make me happy:


rachel getting married

the impossible cool

around the world

it doesn't matter if you're blind.
You just have to trust the team.



I can perceive the environment within
45 meters around me, even the size of things.


colourless colors


the first blind issue.

The magazine goes audio.
...and b&w for print.


very cool.

today is a big day


i'm often hesitant about
throwing politics into this blog.
But today is like no other day.

today is personal.

its been 8 years.


OBAMA

Terry Haggerty


I like his clean lines & stripes.


according to my
berlin correspondents,
there are 2 more artists we
should be looking out for:

david rhodes

Olav Christopher Jenssen

apartamento #2

Junk Style has a similar approach.



from the makers of TRUCK



I went to launch #2
of Apartamento at Matter.


diggin' what these guys are doing.


I scored a copy
of the mag at the party
b/c it's hard to find in nyc.
