these images of gillian zinser make me like her so much more. my favourite is of her on the chopping block...i'm not the biggest fan of ivy on 90210 (although, i do enjoy her wardrobe choices). but, i won't hold that against her.

never judge a girl by her lover.

my fascination with motorbikes seem to have lingered longer than i had originally expected. i only see seduction when i look at these images.

emily didonato is incredibly stunning. it seems as though she's comfortable in her own skin; which makes her all the more appealing.

i love the raw and basic feel of this ksubi campaign. it seems as though they put a lot of thought into doing the bare minimum. i'm always impressed by their simplistic details.

to frolick about in this environment and lighting is made for those free spirits. i found this editorial while skimming through mirage, a coffee table-like book, during my lunch break. after seeing these images, i immediately jumped into line to make my purchase. the editorial gives me the feeling that with just a couple of articles of clothing and the ocean landscape the summer will be invigorating.

on a side note: after years of wanting to attend, coachella...i am finally able to do just that. the official countdown begins!

one last time.

dash snow, controversial photographer from new york, has died at the age of 27. snow is known for his unique way of exposing the lifestyles involving sex, drugs and violence through the lens of a polaroid. he's exhibited in galleries/museums in los angeles, new york and europe. my thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends. may he rest in peace.

the theory about six degress of separation definitely comes into effect when discussing my connection to surfing. the closest i've ever come to surfing is having close friends who take part in the activity once or twice a day. but, even if one has never experienced the adrenaline rush when riding a "swell" they can still appreciate the art that is of dustin humphrey. his innovative photography is captivating on so many levels. it really can't be described...just shown.

soko's ability to make her music blunt and cute is quite the task. her all-too-honest lyrics are somewhat downplayed by her childish way of speaking. this way, she can perfectly disguise the lyrics that could be easily offensive if anyone else were to sing them. when first viewing these photos i couldn't help but feel completely captivated. soko, in the natural scenery caught in black and white, looks like a young girl playing dress-up on her grandparents' property.

at a loss for moss.

kate moss being one of my favourite models and ryan mcginley being one of my favourite photographers, it's no wonder that i find these photos to be just near perfection. they're all so dreamy, yet entirely natural. this most definitely has to be one of of my favourite. i really can't explain it in words, but i do believe that the photos speak for themselves.

and if you enjoy this little number by ryan mcginley, i highly suggest that you stop by his website (shown below the photos) ; and listen to sigur ros,'gobbledigook while you view. i posted the video awhile back, and the whole cinematography screams ryan mcginley, i absolutely love it. he does much nude photography, but it is all incredibly tasteful. i'm not sure what my fascination is with nude photography, but i feel that if it is tastefully shot then it could be wonderfully beautiful.

i've just discovered a little piece that i wrote almost three years ago. it was towards the end of the summer after i graduated from highschool that i started to find myself and change for the better. i went through a certain situation that i don't remember in detail, but it impacted me enough to put my thoughts in writing. hopefully, it can be of some inspiration to others...


'why is it that when something bad happens you overcome it, but then a little while later something rains on your parade? i believe that overcoming something is only half of the battle, the rest of the battle is staying on that same road and trying to stay content.

at times you may not feel like you can live up to a certain person or what others may want you to be. in your mind there is that one person who will always be more interesting or more extreme than you are. and when you think about it, you wonder why you can't just let that not bother you; but it does. you're afraid that a person will see that other someone as something "just a little bit better." so you worry, and at the end of the day there is absolutely nothing you can do about it.

so why keep on thinking about something or someone that you can't live up to? but the thing is why do you think that you can't live up to them? sure, they are a bit more exciting in ways that you are not..but you have qualities that they will never aquire. all in all, you have to think about yourself and never let someone's supposed thoughts change who you are.

if they find that person to be just "a bit more better than you," who cares. there are others who will see your qualities. and if it is not now, it'll be later. when you think about who you are just know that you will compromise, but you will never compromise yourself.'


p.s i hope you all have a nice weekend.

belle de nuit

this is quite an elegant editorial from the ny times. with it's soft, blurred focus and washed out pastels this editorial seems more like a series of watercolors than actual photos.
