Manual For Speed

Manual For Speed is a project by photographers Emiliano Granado and Daniel Wakefield Pasley documenting the world of competitive cycling from training to race day. You may have seen Emiliano’s work before in the form of Outlier lookbooks and Daniel’s square format photographs of Rapha Continental rides. Some of my favorite photos on the site are of the of fans that flock to races, standing by for the riders to pass by their staked out spot on the course. The tailgating fans are a big part of the sport (dare I say culture?) that you only get to see so much of on tv, they look pretty excited when the peloton is passing by but for a better part of the race they’re just hanging around waiting and imbibing.

417 by Edifice

Spreads from Japanese brand Edifice’s 417 Fall/Winter catalog featuring photography that rivals the garments and styling itself. Unfortunately I was unable to locate any photographer credit, in English at least. Still, there are some really nice pieces- my favorite of which would have to be the Cowichan vest.. or maybe the tartan lined duffle coat. See the rest of the catalog here.

View

Keep your “full frame sensor” and give me an f/64 lens with a box of cut sheet film any day. Men at work behind their view cameras in order of appearance: Ansel Adams in Yosemite, Julius Shulman at Pierre Koenig’s Case Study House #22 (aka The Stahl House), Joel Sternfeld at High Line park, Gregory Crewson in Pittsfield, MA, and Scott Pommier showing off his Linhof Technika for Camerabag TV.

Old Glory

In honor of Flag Day I thought I’d share some photos I’ve taken of old glory over the past few years.

The Stonemasters

“The thing that distinguished, it’s a stretch to use that word, The Stonemasters is that one you had to climb valhalla which is by far one of the hardest routes in the country, two you had to be a young arrogant punk, and three you had to have the capacity to smoke enormous amounts- prodigious amounts- of really really bad marijuana and we all had those talents so that was sort of the glue that held the whole thing together.”

-John Long from Vertical Frontier

The Stonemasters were a group of climbers in the 70’s notable for their style and attitude, it’s also worth mentioning that a few of their members made the first one day ascent up the nose of El Capitan. Dan Fidelman was both a Stonemaster and talented photographer whose pictures have been published into this book which also includes some more stories by fellow Stonemaster John Long.
