You guys. Can we all just go travel all the time? Like Théo Gosselin and his friends, who are traveling across the USA and making a movie about it. No big deal right? And no big deal that they are taking incredible photographs in the process. This is the perfect blog to spend your not-too-busy Friday on. HFF! Read the rest of this entry »

So 3 guys, in 44 days, traveled to 11 countries, with 2 cameras and captured almost a terabyte of footage…
After some seriously hardcore editing and probably 20 redbulls, they were able to pull together three 60 second narratives that clearly define travel. ( excluding all the layover and waiting shenanigans)
Each short film features a unique style of storytelling. MOVE uses a bunch of tightly spliced clips that work together in a stop motion manner. EAT begins with a split screen of plated dishes and then shifts to close ups of them begin devoured/enjoyed. LEARN tells the best narrative and seems to have the strongest message of connecting with the cultures of countries visited.
If you didn’t have wanderlust before, you sure do now. Check out more of Director Rich Merrki’s work on tumblr

I can’t remember how I found Araminta’s work exactly but I can remember that my first thought was it’s the places you’re willing to go to, the people you’re willing to talk to that make you a great photographer. Photography is kind of common, amateur these days and by these days I guess you could argue that means all the days after Kodak began weeding out professional equipment and replacing it with point and shoot snapshot toys even a child can use. Not that I don’t use them myself on the daily. Not that amatuers aren’t snapping beautiful, captivating pictures.
So if it’s not the equipment that separates the pros from the bros, then I think maybe it has to do more with courage, adventure and plain old, undying curiosity about people and places all over the world, no?

When we went to Puerto Rico on our honeymoon this past September, we stumbled into a convenience store somewhere in Old San Juan to find some postcards to send to friends. Among the usual sea-beach-vacation-tequila themed cards, we found these gems with about two inches of dust on them each. I don’t exactly know what I love so much about them, I just like the snapshot in time. PR in the 70s? Kind of amazing…
More postcards after the jump.

Tired of the hunter green damask pillows you find at Days Inn? Try an Art Hotel. Pay (surprisingly less) to feel really cool, take awesome pictures of yourself in bed and/or have nightmares in the daytime, passing out in the bath tub from all that walking and haggling for trinkets.

Michael Wolf’s photographic series ‘Bastard Chairs‘ from the book Sitting in China make me sad. His architectural series from Hong Kong strike a similar chord, but I can’t help but stare at them.
