Jake Davis Test Shots: Mariana Dantec

Google Art Project

Enjoy visiting the MoMa but live thousands of miles away to experience each new exhibit? Google has you covered with the release of their Art Project. Basically what Google has done is taken everything they have learned from street view, and applied it to various art galleries from all around the world. Right now the list of museums is short, but expect it to expand in the upcoming months.

LeRoy Grannis Surf Photography

Ever since being introduced to vintage photography of the islands of Hawaii while visiting for the first time, I have been infatuated with surf photography. There is definitely something nostalgic about bright, sunny skies, natural women, untouched beaches and clear water that appeals to me. Jon Patric of The Selvedge Yard recently ran this piece on the work of Leroy Grannis and I couldn't help but to re-post it. Visit The Selvedge Yard for more LeRoy Grannis photography as well as many other features on Americana photography. You can also find Grannis' books in online stores like Amazon for next to nothin.

From the desk of Contributing Editor, Eli M. Getson–
LeRoy Grannis, considered by many to be the premier photographer of California’s thriving surf culture in the 60’s and 70’s, started out not as a professional or trained artist– but as a hobbyist. He didn’t even begin his epic career until the ripe age of 42 yrs old. That was back in 1959– prime time to document America entering the golden age of surf mania, and capture it with a keen eye and insight that only a true surfer could possess.

Julia: Jake Davis Test Shots

Jake Davis Test Shots: Julia Ashwood from Jake Davis on Vimeo.

Jake Davis is one of the world's premier short film and music video filmakers. Every so often he updates his blog with these "test shot" pieces that are always brilliantly done. Meet Julia Ashwood:

Keep it simple... To me the best part of Julia's look is the high-top black chucks. But then again I love The Ramones and Kurt Cobain.

Whether it's design or style to me less is always more. And sometimes it's the simplest most timeless piece dressed down that grabs our attention and makes an outfit feel new and fresh. That shouldn't make any sense but somehow it does...
