In closing 2015, I coupled the fall and winter seasons into a single, hour-long, year-end playlist. Culled from my favorite releases from this past year, it’s intentionally devoid of vocals and lyrics to allow room for true listening, introspection, remembrance and dreaming. I trust that this finds you thankful and hopeful for your life and those lives around you. Happy holidays. I love you.

I recently spent a week driving the California PCH from San Diego to Monterey and back. This (and one other subsequent post) feature some selected 50mm shots from the greater Big Sur area on California’s central coast.… Read More

I visited artist Andy Rementer recently in his Philadelphia studio to look at his new collab w/ Komono & Urban Outfitters. Read the full story with more photos and an interview here.… Read More

Leigh and I took a short trip to the West Coast this past weekend for both work and pleasure. There’s a special quality to the light on the coast that is difficult to describe. It’s better to just see it and feel it without words getting in the way. Here are a few images from my wanderings – with a couple more posts forthcoming.… Read More

This past 4th of July, Andrew Gallo and I headed out to a hops field in rural Oregon to ascend at dawn in a hot air balloon for Kinfolk’s “Saturdays” film series. Andrew’s film and my photos from the flight, above.

Amelia Giller and Leigh Patterson’s beautiful Synonym Journal had a relaunch of their site this week and are now taking pre-orders for Issue 2: Duplicity.

The vision of Synonym: “moving away from memes, toward specificity, away from decadence, toward viscera, away from matte, toward sci-fi.”
