National Parks all over my face
Last week I returned from a trip that has seeped into my face and I can’t quite scratch it out (it’s allergy season). Though I’ve lived in the West my entire life I’d lever been to Yosemite, and it seemed like a good idea to ditch the recent rains of Portland for something epic and warm, but without having to climb on a plane. First of all Yosemite is ridiculously... Read More
Miniseum—hit the road kid
I’m on the road! As before in the Miniseum series, each image links back to where I found it—a clicky rabbit trail. As of today I am in Yosemite, tomorrow will be a summit attempt on Half-dome, and at this point I have travelled from Portland > Redding > Nappa > San Francisco > Yosemite. After I leave the Wawona Hotel here near the Park I’ll roll on up... Read More
Blue Hole Free Dive
The second largest blue hole in the world is in the Bahamas, and people free dive it. Crazy people, people who clearly want to die, and look awesome while doing it. Blue holes are basically underwater sinkholes, like the one we recently saw in Guatemala, associated with rainwater infiltrating bedrock in the Pleistocene era. This particular Blue Hole is called Dean’s Blue... Read More
Miniseum—Spaced out in Bavaria
This is a collection of images that represents how I feel today—each image links back to its source where I found it, it would be a shame not to give credit to those who archive such things for us to trifle through (an hopefully it will provide you with a couple new resources as well). So this is a Miniseum, get it? The following miniseums will be longer, so this is just a lil... Read More
Happy Memorial Day from FORTPORT
It’s easy while chowing at a BBQ or sitting at a parade to forget why we have Memorial Day. We’ve been celebrating this day officially since 1866 after the Civil War. It is observed to honor those who have died in defense & service of our nation—those who died in combat, on foreign shores, away from their families, sometimes with no grave. I honor you, brave people.... Read More
Julian Gese
I love that this dude has a camera around his neck all the time now – or is it just on the weekends? Whenever it is Julian Gese is creating some great imagery in and around our Portland, and he’s just getting started! Julian is a fellow in the GD program with Ben + I, and is a super giggly good man. I can’t wait to see how his eye develops and how he art directs... Read More
Chicago, ILL 4840 miles // Zach’s Road
I found a group of hollowed-out opera singers growing trees inside themselves. They were all wearing red flannel. When I looked inside one, there was a perfectly functional ecosystem, some birds, some fire. When I looked inside another, there was a smaller opera singer, and inside him was a lumberjack, sharply dressed, hollowing out a tree. Excerpt from The Man Suit by Zachary... Read More
Dominik Kruger
Dominik Kruger is a Portland-based designer + photographer. He caught my eye because I know these landscapes and how heavily they are photographed. It can be difficult to take a camera with you to places that are so heavily covered already in greeting cards, calendars and web headers. These scapes though feel like they’ve never been seen before. Especially this last one –... Read More
Polaroid SX-70, just stop it
No way. The flute, the narration, the 10 minute Polaroid ad! It’s so scientific and dreamy! I’d like to play this ad as my eulogy, thank you very much. Polaroid, why are you so smooth? I actually had this same model as a teenager, a gift from my father. I used to love how it would pop open – it looked like a spy device. I totally swiped this vid from F Yeah!... Read More
Mashed Taters – Viviane + Robyn
Alright here’s the story. I wasn’t feeling well today so I spent a ton of time rummaging around strangers’ blogs, jumping down rabbit holes and basically getting lost on the internet. These mashed taters are the result. My web history today shows about 500 pages visited since this morning, so I hope these taters taste GOOOOOD. First up – the soundtrack to... Read More
