The view from Cabana 1

The Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove opened a roof top poolside bar called Cabana 1 a couple months back, & these pictures are from the afternoon before the VIP opening party.

as you can see they were still in the midst of building while i was hanging out with a friend who tends bar there.

Micrscopic lightening effect

This is from a few weeks ago but better late than never, I have no background in science, aside from the fact that both my parents worked in medicine, and I've seen every episode of "House." Though in a tour de force of office supply physics, researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have shown that it is possible to produce X-rays by simply unrolling Scotch tape.

The New York Picture Purge Part 1

So I went to New York for a wedding over 2 weeks ago but haven't had a chance to post all the pictures, because of the the Thanksgiving and the madness that was Art Basel (those pics will be up sooner than these were.) So I've decided to just purge all those photos from my phone and share them with you. I apologize in advance for the diluge of pics, I'm a documentarian - which means I had to shoot everything I saw that caught my eye, and have broken it up into a couple different parts

And I'll be there to love you each and every night and all through the day...

sadly there's no video for this absolutely lusciously melodic tune, and I really don't like any of the live versions so please enjoy.

a legend lost





50's Pinup girl and Model Bettie Page died yesterday at the age of 85 in Los Angeles. Growing up I was aware of her as an icon in fashion, film and fringe history, due to her unique look and undeniable presence. But I didn't truly know who she was until watching the fantastic film about the early part of her life "The Notorious Bettie Page ." The New York Times does the factual aspects of her life better justice than I ever could, and WOMEN Model Management's blog has a great post of model Mina Cvetkovic as "Betty Page" but wanted to mention this charismatic and enigmatic woman now that she's gone.







absolutely absurd, utterly beautiful and totally sexy...

I'm not exactly sure of how you're supposed to keep track of the days of the year with these half naked women staring back at you, but I had to share considering how gorgeous and silly this is.
