These photos were taken one December weekend during two fun races in which I participated as both a rider and spectator, except for the first shot of Chris riding on the Schuylkill trail. The later photos were from Bilenky‘s junkyard cross race which I had been wanting to race in ever since I moved to Philly but have only recently owned a bike suitable for the terrain. Check out In the Crosshair‘s footage below to see how crazy it actually was.. Continue reading

Jordan Clark Haggard is a Los Angeles based cyclist and photographer who keeps a blog/visual cycling journal called The Blue and Red. Sure, there’s a bunch of pictures of kitted-out dudes on road bikes but there’s also a lot of other nice moments that Jordan’s put on film ranging from the greatest scenery to the worst mechanicals imaginable. Check out his other (non-cycling focused) photo blog while you’re at it, too.

I’ve been enjoying Instagram since late summer taking square format snaps here and there. Sure, the selective focus functions are a little wonky but if you understand how depth of field works you can make some pretty believable images.

I don’t exactly recall I how found this magazine, but I like it. After a little digging (a post on Ridge) I found out that it’s aimed at a female audience, that much is unclear from these spreads though. From what I can tell it seems a little less fashion driven than other Japanese outdoor magazines like Go Out but not by much. The major difference between Hütte, German for cabin, and Go Out seems to be that Hütte is less mountain street style and more mountain style on the mountain. Either way, the photography is very nice- that’s Kasane Nogawa on the cover issue 3 pictured at the top. Perhaps the writing is good too, but I can’t read Japanese. See some more sample spreads here.

One humid August afternoon I found myself in the city of Charleston, South Carolina. Though I missed visiting the city’s well known menswear shops Billy Reid and Ben Silver I was really more interested in stopping by Indigo & Cotton. Located a little ways from the downtown shopping district, Indigo & Cotton is nestled on a fairly quiet residential area which seems like an appropriate location for such a shop. I think being located in the heart of a chain store shopping district would really kill the vibe that owner Brett Carron has clearly taken some care to establish with antique furnishings and vegetation. I can’t say that I’ve been to many stores with plants in them, nor such ample natural light- whose presence made these photographs possible.
As for the merchandise, Brett only stocks quality goods: Quoddy moccasins, various Hill-Side accessories, LVC denim, Gitman Vintage shirts, and so on. Check out Indigo & Cotton’s blog where you can also see some quality photos of their current goods and pay them a visit them if you’re in town.

Photographs from Vancouver based Neighbour‘s autumn/winter lookbook featuring photography by Jennilee Marigomen. It’s nice to see a lookbook shot on film, the color has a great natural pop to it. Jennilee recently had a book released with small art book press JSBS, though it’s already sold out. See the rest here.

Covers from Volkswagen’s quarterly magazine Small World which ran from 1962 to 1984, see the rest at The Samba. I’ve always loved Volkswagens, the last car I owned was a turbo gti but I’d love to own an older (mk II) model one day. Speaking of adventuring by volkswagen, if you aren’t already following Foster’s adventures in his Syncro I highly recommend it!
