I adore Face Hunter, and the Sartorialist, and many street-style blogs. This photo was posted on Face Hunter today and just made me smile. I love this guy. Have a nice Saturday everyone!

This is such a lovely experiment…  More great work on their site.

I just came across this photo by Andrea Galvani.  I find its austerity and surrealism stirring.

My mom was so sweet, and bought me the much coveted Mina Perhonen book- vol.2 which is the Embroidery volume. I’m very excited about it. It was on my Christmas list, but I made my Christmas list a bit too late in the season (oops). So my mom gave it to me as a Valentines/Moving In present (we recently moved). The folks over at Tortoise wrapped it so nicely. Thanks again mom- I was not expecting this! See how pretty it is…

Some rad photography.

Lena Corwin shot photos for the upcoming Fall Mociun lookbook, and they are quite lovely.  She posted some of them over on her blog, and I just had to repost, because I love Mociun’s prints, and  I also think that Lena is very talented too.  I’m excited to see the finished product!

A great portfolio. I like the “Space Between” and “Fakes” series especially.

Design Boom posted a great article about Ghanian photographer Philip Kwame Apagya, which I found riveting. He is known for his photos of African people posing before painted backdrops of environments or objects that are typically “objects of desire”. Below are some of his photos.

“Philip Kwame Apagya’s formal portraits in front of commissioned painted backgrounds seem to be suspended between realism and a sort of na?vité, they are both unreal and hyperealistic: the dreams of African people are put on stage –
against scenery which praises consumer society.” – Design Boom

I went into the Haleiwa Supermarket today and took these photos, which are probably my favourite so far. Great vintage signage here, and bad fluorescent lighting. I love it.
