nubbytwiglet and galadarling weekly post their thursday flickr favorites and i decided to join the movement-

current favorites and obsessions include:

♥ personal studies and observations of russian typography and graphic design- i just love the imagery and use of clean, strong graphic elements-

♥ taking photos of a screen that has a live image or photograph on it- i have been thinking about this for a while and really love these debbie harry images- the lines of the screen just make the composition look surreal-

♥ working with a team to create an amazing image: i really want to work and conceptualize with a stylist, hairdresser, make-up artist and model to make really fantastic images- like my favorite kat bret snow kittens set-

♥ learn to love myself- this is a hard thing to do and every day is a new challenge.

♥ the new joy division biopic, control, by anton corbijn comes out in the UK february 11… so it must come to the US soon too!

♥ making actual packages to send in the mail- i am working on a mix cd exchange with a group of lovely ladies- i used to send mail all the time, it will feel good to have something other than bills!

♥ these shoes by vivian westwood for melissa are absolutely amazing! (i want.)

♥ meeting with friends and having adventures- after work yesterday i went to ritual coffee and had just sat down and not even sipped my coffee, when someone yelled, “FIRE!” and all of this smoke started billowing out- we were evacuated and firemen came- i hope the place is ok. but i ended up the evening eating something chocolate from tartine bakery and drinking red wine- nice night cap.

♥ shooting film again! i really want to try, i miss the smell of developer and the sound of the film winding around inside the camera-

♥ being inspired, happy, involved, creative, healthy, enlightened-

what are your current favorites and obsessions?

completely amazed, inspired and really into these gorgeous images by serge leblon for the new goldfrapp album, “seventh tree”-

love the lighting, location, costume, make-up, styling, poses- all of it!
allison goldfrapp is just lovely and i can’t wait to check out the new music too!

morrissey has a new electronic space, morrissey’s world

he is one of my all time favorite renaissance men, artist, musician, poet-
“So, tell me how long Before the last one? And tell me how long Before the right one?”

swoon.

N.E.E.T. magazine is my favorite online fashion/art/music/photography read… since it’s creation, i have sent several electronic love notes with my devotion and desire to be a photography contributor- maybe someday they will enjoy my work and i’ll get a reply- for now i’ll just remain a loyal fan and reader! xo

thanks to heather and her fine music tastes, i have a new favorite band, brooklyn’s own, a place to bury strangers they are currently on tour, please check them out immediately!

while standing on bart this rainy morning, sipping coffee, surrounded by the other gloomy thursday passengers, their beautiful song, “i know i’ll see you” was the perfect soundtrack.

from pitchfork, “anyone looking for a quick description of his own band can look to the names he (lead singer oliver ackermann) gives these things: Interstellar Overdriver, Supersonic Fuzz Gun, Total Sonic Annihilation.”

back from new york city… completely amazed by the culture, energy, brooklyn, people, food, subway, fashion, museums- along the way, i had indian food on the lower east side with my darling electronic friend, heather, who has started a fun music, fashion, and art blog, all grown up check it out! i am also new york obsessed design girl and plan on visiting again soon!

i always get a little thrill when a new n.e.e.t. magazine is published- feast your eyes and be edified today…
