I accidentally fell in love with tumblr, and have been giving a lot of my attention to http://thevest.tumblr.com/
As I have been considering how to deal with this website, and this blog, it has all become neglected. In the next few weeks everything should be back in order, while I will continue to keep The Vest running strong, I will also properly maintain this blog, and update the portfolio side of things with new (and newish) work.
I swear.
in a month.
From Shane :

A while back I interviewed Christian about his project Out There for MakingRoom. He has recently put a small run of prints up for sale in order to fund exhibition prints and book maquettes. It is your chance to be a (small) patron to the arts. Get in on the ground floor, and help move this project forward. Buy all four and I bet Christian will put candy in the box!

Found on the always great Big Picture

Although every time I leave for a big drive I feel compelled to pack 6 cameras, I always end up making very few photographs. I have a need to keep moving while I am on the road. This stems from the fact that I typically am driving to get somewhere I actually want to get to, or get back to, rather than to play itinerant photographer.
What this means is that usually, 1,500 miles or so after I start, I have shot 1/2 a roll, almost exclusively at various rest stops.

Since I am not Italian I can only delight in the easily discernible facts (it’s a Yamaha XS650 “modificato’d” to 750cc) and obvious hotness. A really handsome, lithe and very Italian version of the Japanese take on the Italian café…wait, what?
