pantone x seavees.

This collaboration between Pantone and shoe maker Seavees caught my eye. I love pretty much anything in an array of color. It would be great to see more fashion companies collaborate with the color creator.

A beautiful house on a lake in the Netherlands. More photos here.

too much chocolate.

I stumbled on a great new site a couple weeks ago. It's called Too Much Chocolate. Each week a new photographer is showcased and interviewed by a fellow photographer. So far the talent has been awesome and the discussions very interesting and inspirational. I'm looking forward to seeing where this site is headed, in the meantime I'll continue checking back for inspiration and knowledge from some talented folks.

please watch for us.

Please and thank you. A great poster.

no excuses.

A new video from Air France. Their CD "No Way Down" has been on heavy rotation for me these last several weeks. Definitely worth checking out.

new site!

Thanks to my brother, Brandon, I have a fancy new site up and running! Check it out... thirdwonder.com

i could live here.

I've always dreamed of living in a log cabin someday. This one looks like it would be nice to call home.

leica safari.

I would love to get my hands on one of these Leica M8.2 Special Edition Safari cameras. Only 500 were made and you can get yours for a mere $10,000.

simon hoegsberg.

Simon Hoegsberg is a photographer from Copenhagen, Denmark. His latest project is titled 100 meters of existence and is a photo that is 100 meters long. It is an awesome idea and the the image is very intriguing. His other projects consist of him trying to hitchhike through Europe with only 14 euro, hearing stories from street artists, and learning what New Yorkers think about their faces. I love his style and creativity. His images truly do tell stories.

brent and alex.

Here's a few engagement photos I took for my good friend and former roommate, Brent and his fiance, Alex, last week. It was freezing cold, but they were good sports about being outside in this Chicago weather.

love thy neighbour.

Hippie or hipster? Either way, I kind've like this "Wonder Years" line from Love They Neighbour for summer '09.

lego camera?

I guess we can expect to see these coming this summer. They aren't actually built out of Lego bricks, but I mean I would've loved this is a kid.

10.deep holiday lookbook.

10.Deep has put together some pretty creative photo shoots for past lookbooks, but I think this one is by far my favorite. Not to mention the new line of clothes for '09. I love the outdoorsy approach to this collection. Plenty of plaids and knits to keep you warm and stylish this winter. Check out the whole lookbook here.

the blackbird.

I saw this camera a while back, but I just noticed it again on Josh Spear's holiday gift guide, and I agree, this would be something nice to receive this Christmas. The Blackbird is a 35mm twin reflex camera that can be held to shoot from the waist or at the eye like a standard camera. It can capture images in a traditional 24x36 or in a square 24x24. Not to mention the camera just looks plain cool. They come from Japan, but you can order them in the states here, just incase.

it's snowing.

Due to the snow I found on the ground this morning, I've spent a decent part of my day so far watching snowboard videos online, wishing that there were mountains surrounding me, rather than buildings. But here I am and here's a couple of trailers for some videos I wouldn't mind seeing soon. Burton's "It's Always Snowing Somewhere" and Mack Dawg's "Double Decade".

hunting trophey decals.

Since I really don't think I could live with stuffed animal heads on my wall, Swiss design studio, toifu, has created a perfect alternative. Now you can achieve that same lodge feeling using their colorful decals. Get it in deer, wild boar, ibex, or roe-deer skull. Nice.

play cloths.

This has been in the works for a while, but Clipse's streetwear label Play Cloths launched this last weekend. The Virginia Beach duo wanted to get back to their childhood roots and design a clothing line that could be worn for work and play. It does have a similar look and feel to Pharrell's BBC and Ice Cream line, but I like it.

poladroid.

Since Polaroid decided to stop making their instant film, they've given digital camera users a new alternative. You can now use Poladroid to give your photos that classic Polaroid look. All you have to do is download the application then drag and drop your pics into the tiny camera. The images even take several minutes to "develop" just like the real film. I thought I'd try it out on some photos I took this weekend at the Garfield Park Conservatory. Turns out they look pretty cool.

packaging matters.

Packaging definitely plays in the consumer purchase process. Some package designs just scream "pick me up, i'm cool" and others don't. The Cool Hunter did a little round up of some unique and eye catching packages worth checking out.
