inspiration: clean, classic, american

I recently had a conversation with my manpiece regarding khakis. He's a jeans guy but I would love to see him wear khaki pants as well as JFK. I think it's pretty difficult to pull off this look without coming across as a DB nowadays. When it works, it works though. I have been storing these shots of John&Jacky in my inspiration folder for a while now. I just want a tiny bit of their effortlessly cool sexy magic. A.C.O.J's reposted khaki roundup reminded me how refreshing clean crisp Americana can be.

scrapatorium!

I've been having a blast browsing through scrapatorium. I really never explored the collage medium but these pieces are fantastic. I'm crazy about this one below titled Bird Watchers:

here are a few of my faves:

great find: Elena Volkova's scapes

I am absolutely in love with Elena Volkova's work. These ethereal nearly translucent scapes are so serene and peaceful. It's what comes to mind when I close my eyes and take a deep breath.

artist statement: My artistic curiosity lie in the interchange between nothing and something, and its manifestation in everyday reality...
I know from experience that balancing whites and grays are very difficult. Simple photographs like these are the among the most difficult to execute.

I really want this Henry Gunderson piece for my collection.
I used to collect vintage mouse traps in college and never got around to shooting them.
I plan on messaging him to see if it's for sale.
