ASHLEY + DUSTY.
i wanted to get in one last post before x’mas and i couldn’t think of a better one than of our wonderful friends ashley & dusty in atlanta.
wishing all of you the happiest and merriest. mw
TOKYO.
i’m having tokyo withdrawals. i love that city. i love that it’s all at once beautiful, peaceful, loud and overwhelming. i love the attention to detail. i love the care taken in packaging even the smallest item, from the paper, to the string, to the tape, to the bag. i love that the food is art, worthy of being exhibited in a museum. i love the gentle politeness. i love seeing so many people take pride in their work. i love the sounds and the lights. i love the narrow alley-ways, hidden streets and tiny hole-in-the-walls. i love the toilets — if you’ve been to japan, you know what i’m talking about. i could go on. but, most of all, i love that my grandfather is still there, 93 years old, still fighting. and i love that the whole family was there with me to experience it all. below are some snapshots from the trip. mw
a few notes that will shed light on a few of the frames:
we visited a cat cafe. yes, crazy. you can read more about it on shoko’s blog: http://www.shoandtellblog.com/2011/11/tea-tabbies.html.
margaux and shoko got their nails done in true “harajuku” fashion. you’ll see the results towards the bottom.
we witnessed the art of making soba noodles, and then got to eat them. delicious is an understatement.
JULIA + AARON.
i’d be remiss if i didn’t say one more big thank you. to julia & aaron, our wonderful models for feetfirst/blogshop, for braving the cold, for braving 20 in-your-face cameras, for being so patient — we are grateful. i managed to sneak in a few photos of my own, below. mw
FEET FIRST + BLOGSHOP ATL RECAP.
feet first + blogshop. a goat farm. students from all over the world. 3 memorable days in atlanta. being able to collaborate and work alongside not only wonderful friends, but incredibly talented artists (jesse & whitney and bri & angela) is such a blessing. we all work really hard at what we do and we’ve all been on the other side of the fence. to be able to share our different perspectives, our philosophies and our life lessons with others is a thrill. it’s not just about equipment and technique and what buttons to press in photoshop. it’s about new ways of thinking, about pushing the envelope, about standing out from the rest. i can’t wait to do this again in a couple of months in las vegas (for more info, e-mail: hello@feetfirstsessions.com).
heartfelt thank yous to all those who made this a success: amy osaba, ginny branch, ashley meaders, smilebooth, sun in my belly, tattly, renaissance albums, fotofafa, alien skin, sqirl, baggu, pinhole press, julia’s poppies design, hd1.
also, don’t forget to check out the little video i shot at the bottom, edited by bri’s talented boyfriend, arian.
