With the season beginning, the Stoke Market is booming. Chances are good that if you are an avid snow sports enthusiast you’ve seen the following segment of JP Auclair laying down one of the most unreal urban segments of all time, but even if you have watched it, it doesn’t really get old. Highly cinematographic and perfectly paired with audio from LCD Soundsystem, it is an absolute classic (make sure to watch in HD Full screen). Also included are a […]
A little feel good Rumi script for your day.

Recently the New York Times Photojournalism Blog (LENS) had an amazing feature about a grassroots movement called The Marcellus Shale Documentary Project (MSDP). In attempts to expose the multifaceted horror show that is hydraulic fracturing, residents in the Marcellus Shale region (NY, PA, WV, & OH) are collectively amassing photo evidence of the terrible side effects and repercussions fracking extraction.

Found this image via a really awesome blog on tumblr called Eternal Epherma and thought it was a perfect opportunity to post another E.F. Schumacher bit of wisdom. Below is a link to the New Economics Institute’s Website, but just in the case you’re too lazy to click on the link I’ve pasted the short essay (from 1966) in this post- I hope you’ll give it a chance!! Buddhist Economics by E.F Schumacher (<—— link to N.E.I. site) “Right Livelihood” […]

ALRIGHT, last few thoughts on SF MOMA (for now). First up is Marsha Cottrell who creates galactic feeling pieces. At 14′ x 9′ in dimension, ‘A Black Powder Rains Down Gently on My Sleepless Nights’ is comprised of over 200 prints on mulberry paper and has enough detail to keep you occupied for a good few hours. Next is Jay Defeo, a prolific artist that created in various mediums. The museum had DeFeo’s ‘The Rose’ on display, which is a […]

So…. here are a few more morsels from the Museum of Modern Art San Fran. After seeing Duchamp’s ‘readymade’ pieces so often in slides and textbooks from Art History classes- stumbling upon a the R.Mutt urinal was akin to beholding a holy idol of some sort.

Every first Tuesday of each month, the SF MOMA offers free admission to the public. Battling hipster paupers (it’s so hip to be broke right now – if you’re rich you’re a hoser ) for viewing space, getting through the 5 brilliant floors of the SF MOMA was tricky. A little known fact about myself: I’m a huge Clyfford Still fan – he’s one of my favorite painters, and I think of him often when attempting photographic abstracts. Walking into […]
This piece is probably pretty old news, but when I was up in SF this past weekend stumbling upon it was like finding a hundred a jewel on the sidewalk. I’ll post some more pictures from San Fran adventures and The SF MOMA later, but here is the banksy for nah. BOMB WALLS NOT COUNTRIES!!
