McNally Jackson Books Cafe by Front Studio

I had somewhat recently tweeted from the McNally Jackson books cafe in Nolita about how much I loved the space and the fixtures designed by Front Studio. My iPhone photo really did not do it much justice, so I was thankful to stumble upon these much better quality shots from Kitsune Noir. I love the pages of the books that line the walls, and the books that seemingly float overhead. It’s a great little spot. Click here for additional photos.

Vans and the places they were

Vans and the places they were documents surviving 70’s and 80’s era conversion vans parked on streets throughout the Bay Area and Southern California. The project, led by Joe Stevens, began in 1996 and currently consists of hundreds of images shot on 120 film and examines the dialogue which exists between a van’s design aesthetic and that of its surrounding environment.

As these types of vans are becoming a dying breed, Joe states, “consequently the goal of the project is to one day shoot the last remaining van on the final frame of photographic film in existence. Then the project will be finished.”

Roger Ebert’s inspiring interview with Esquire Magazine

“I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”

—Film critic Roger Ebert on losing his ability to speak four years ago, tells Esquire Magazine he communicates through Post-it notes but there is “no need to pity” him.

Just got back to my desk to find a treat from a co-worker. He brought back a box of red velvet cupcakes from Big Booty Bakery for a bunch of us. Funny name aside, they have awesome baked goods (and empanadas!) If you’re near Chelsea, definitely check them out.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you probably have come to suspect that I’m a big Ryan McGinley fan. Yesterday I tweeted about his ethereal photo series for the New York Times Magazine, which captured Winter Olympians in mid-flight draped in Rodarte.

The above video, McGinley made for Opening Ceremony’s collection of Levi’s cords. In it, he captures models mid-air to the music of Pictureplane’s “Goth Star.”
