"The best photo I ever took, was the one I never took"

The quote above is from 13thWitness and it applied to me today. I was driving down Biscayne on my way to lunch when I saw this man dressed so Sartorialist. He was wearing a tan dress shirt with rolled up sleeves and matching slacks that were tucked into his tube socks, with some old sneakers on. He had this thick black sweater wrapped around his chest like an X and tied in the back. I doubled back around the block to see if I could take a portrait of him. As I got closer I noticed sticking out of his sweater were some small colorful flowers. And tucked in the back of his slacks a newspaper. He kept a well trimmed mustache and beard. And as he walked down the street towards me smoking a cigarette he looked as if he won a million bucks. I stepped out of my car to ask him if I could take a photo of him and it was then that I realized he was homeless and I that point he noticed my camera and realized what I was going to ask him. He turned around and ran the other way. Leaving me in the street looking stuck. He was dressed so well and you could tell he took pride in the way he look and it was that same pride that wouldn't allow him to be photographed. I honestly think that if I could have photographed him it would have been the best photograph I ever took. I really hope I have the opportunity to see him again. The way he dressed really inspired me in the sense that no matter how ruff things are there's always something to look forward to whether it's seeing your significant other after a long days work or getting up in the morning and looking your best. Man I hope I run into him soon.

INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS: The Lost Art of the Film

MAESTRO KNOWS

So Levi Maestro gave his site a new face lift and brand overhaul and it looks good. I really love the column system he has set up. Super clean and grid like. Big ups to him.

HOW TO MAKE IT IN AMERICA

"Fuck the man, right Cam?"

So i just saw the first episode of How To Make It In America and the shit was dope. Considering it was from Mark Wahlberg I knew it would be because he be killing it with Entourage. And I know they used the same person from Entourage who chooses the score because both shows have the same taste in music which I love. I mean come on, dude in the Range was bumping Camron's "Down and Out". The only thing that upsets me is they shot and edited the show the same way that i was going to on an upcoming project of mine. Damn I need to stop sleeping on things!

Peep the trailer.

RIP Alexander McQueen

I'm still in shock. I don't really want to even believe it. He was such an inspiration to me. Hands down my favorite fashion designer. The stuff he did was just so amazing. He will be missed.

LOGORAMA

(I guess since it is nominated they pulled it off vimeo here's some screen caps though.)

*Found another video of it. Not as good quality though.

I hope this wins this years Oscar for best animated short.

MTV Finally Drops ‘Music Television’

So i was on Kitsune Noir this morning and i saw his post on how MTV finally dropped "music television" form the bottom of their iconic logo. I totally agree with most of the points Bobby from Kitsune Noir made which you can read about here . But i hate how they cut off a chunk of their logo to achieve this "framing their content". It looks like a mistake or accident. It just looks bad. Good thing i don't have cable so i won't have to ever really see it again.

SuperBowl Weekend

I had a Random and fun weekend these past couple of days. Hung out with a bunch of friends and saw a few Celebs. I really didn't feel like lugging my Nikon with me so i only have two pics From when i went to Dog House on Friday. Super good Colombian hot dogs.


The rest of the night was dope went to the Room for a few hours and then hit up T-MEX on the beach were we sat by Jessica Alba and one of the dudes of Good Charlotte. She's a gully ass chick that's all i gotta say.

Saturday night i finally got a chance to see A Single Man directed Tom Ford. Super good film. Especially the cinematography. The DP for this film is 27 year old Eduard Grau . Man did he do an amazing job. Every shot was like an editorial spread and while some people might not have liked it, me being a designer loved every second of it. Every scene i was able to imagine type seamlessly being merged with the shot/image. I wonder if Tom Ford wanted it/did this way since he comes from a fashion background. On top of the beautiful cinematography the attention to detail was amazing. The film takes place at the height of the Cuban Missile crisis. So every guy was rocking tailored suites and skinny ties. FRESH! All in all a dope Movie i highly recommend it to anybody.

Sunday night was fun with it being to Super Bowl and here in Miami we were definitely able to feel it in the air. Me and some friends went to Red Light for dinner and to watch the game. I was rooting for the Saints so i fit right in bc the owner/Chef of the restaurant is from the NO. After dinner we dipped to Flanigans to get poured up and finish the game. All in all a good weekend awesome food, awesome friends, can't go wrong.
