BACK TO THE VOID

Daido Moriyama, via

I was amazed to find that the last time I posted on this blog was 2011. The end to my long hiatus was inspired by a few very important friends who assured me that even though I was talking into the void, they were listening. So, I'm back here, ready to take you past the bread crumbs of my Google journeys through the black hole of my router.

This song is how I'd like to re-calibrate my return to the void:

Jee Day's "Sum of Love" came just in time, on an uncharacteristically warm and sunny day in May. It took me on a little trip down Future Summer, where only the heat of a slow sun could replicate the euphoric naiveté of first loves, unguilted indulgence and dance floor climaxes.

It is the seventh release on Tim Sweeney's Beats In Space record label and it's a nice reminder that the best things are always somewhat familiar, unflinchingly optimistic, and always carving out their own transcendental moments in time.

THE ART OF JULIA HETTA

Any photographer that aptly represents the spirit of Vanitas in photography is always a hero to me. Swedish photographer Julia Hetta manages to reference a broad spectrum of the legacy of the Dutch Masters, invoking a disquieting depth that stirs beneath the still surface of her portraiture.

PRECINCT 5 IN NIKE DESTROYERS

VIMEO has been eating up my life but I regret nothing. I'm not purposefully plugging NIKE but they know I'm always up for two things: a well made short (film) and a well made jacket. They have both bases covered here, as they film Amsterdam based Precinct 5 running crew in their exclusive Nike Destroyer Jackets. As I just got my hands on a long sought after Varsity, NIKE hit my spot. And good. Although, aesthetics-wise, I think their collaboration with the French Football Federation spawned a more classic jacket and the Virgin Mary knows what I would do for a supple white leather sleeve. But that's just me. Photos after the video....
