I recently stumbled across Freunde von Freunden, which appears to be the German version of The Selby, with really beautiful photos of interesting looking people in their homes. Even though I can’t read German, this site is still a treat for the eyes. Here are a few of my favorites:
Spotted this little gem while upstate this weekend. Not only was this done in sidewalk chalk, but I think someone relies a little too heavily on spellcheck.
Son-of-a-bicth!
Happy Labor Day weekend, dear Thersians! May it be filled with BBQs, beer, and perhaps even a large body of water of some sort.
Ok I have to confess something here.. Wes and I tend to work on our THERSIC posts independently, most of the time reading through them when it goes up like everyone else. So this morning when I saw his British Racers post (see below), I burst out laughing.
My eyes went immediately to the photo, skipping over the title of the post. My 1st thought was, Why the hell did he just post a picture of the Medieval Times knights? Two seconds later I realized that I’ve probably been to one too many dinner & tournaments..
sadly I took at least one of these myself
Escif is creating some of the most interesting and awesome street art I’ve seen in years. Based in Valencia, Spain, his work is incredibly fun, playful, and full of mischief. Check out many more beauties on his Flickr page.
I’ve seen this Gulf oil spill-inspired spread from a recent issue of Vogue Italia around on various sites and I know it has drawn a lot of criticism. I personally think the photos are haunting and beautiful, but yet still evoke the same sense of sadness that those previously published in various media publications. Since the spill has been an ongoing topic in the media, it was only a matter of time before other media outlets (ie: fashion magazines) dealt with it.
Of course everyone is entitiled to their opinion, and I think some may argue that this spread exploits the spill and the sadness that surrounds it, but I think that Vogue rather smartly used this spread to make a statement and bring more awareness to all of those effected by it.
We have so many great non-wedding photos from our two weeks down in Georgia, that I feel like if we don’t post some of them, they’ll be filed into one of our many virtual folders never to be seen again. Round #1.
Surprised to learn that Wes had a previous modeling career in the chicken industry?
Disappointed not to see any children moving in slow motion
Still trying to figure out what the hell these giant tires could be used for
A sign outside a small antique store & straight to the point
My brother thought this may translate to ‘git-R-done’
Even the electrical boxes are friendly down south!
Comedians, please steer clear of this airport
I first thought this house was Photoshopped on this cliff.. what an amazing location!! Located close to Slaughterhouse Beach in Maui, it was designed by Olson Kundig Architects with the concept of a surfing hut combined with traditional features.
“The structure’s walls are constructed from rammed earth. In this process, different local earth-based mixtures are packed together, and the resulting striated layers are visible both inside and outside the building. The walls blend in with the surroundings, are low maintenance, virtually fireproof, and a strong barrier to sound.” Amazing!
Sometimes I come across certain things that truly make me feel like I’m the last to know. Case and point: The Chand Baori Stepwell. No idea how this one slipped by me..
Located near the Harshat Mata Temple, it’s one of the largest (and deepest) step wells in India, although it more closely resembles and MC Escher drawing. It was built in the 9th century and has 3500 narrow steps that go down 13 stories. AMAZING!
Things have been pretty chaotic around here recently, made especially so with the endless DIY wedding projects we’ve been working on. I don’t know what crazy frame of mind we were in when we decided to take all of it on, but here we are finding, baking, printing, and constructing everything from our invites, to lighting, to our decorations (w/ the help of dear friends & family, of course!)
Since we’re paying for it ourselves, we are trying to stay on a very tight budget.. So when any possible creative freebies come along, we don’t hesitate. We decided to pass on a professional florist and keep things simple with a mix of Georgia wild flowers and a couple of our personal favorites. Instead of buying 100 + vases, we decided to take what Brooklyn itself was offering.. free glass bottles from the 1900-1950s! Want to find out how? Keep reading..
Band of Outsiders Fall 2010 lookbook was done using only Polaroids. And the brainwashed consumer in me buys it.. I’m in love! I want, I want!
