" New York was his town, and it always would be... "

Woody Allen's 'Manhattan' is one of my favorite films depicting New York City. The cinematography is spot on. It really captures the essence of New York. Whilst trawling through youtube I stumbled across this fantastic pastiche of Jack Kerouac reciting 'Visions of Cody' and 'On The Road' set to the opening sequence of Allen's 1979 classic.

"Go And Grab The Blogroll"

So I've been getting pretty bored of my regular blog list recently; when you have been reading the same blogs for a lengthy period of time, repetition creeps in, boredom and topic over kill whitewash the enjoyment. Although it's important to keep a finger on the pulse in the areas you love and enjoy most, you find that the same concepts, events, topics and issues get rehashed across the board. So I've been digging around for a while now for new and interesting blogs; here are my top 3 new places to procrastinate the day away.

Mitch Epstein - 'Recreation - American Photographs 1973-1988'

The guys in the Duffer of St. George office next door have a book shelf which is a bit of an Aladdin's Cave! With some fantastic photography, coffee table books to make you glee with envy, and a fountain of knowledge for all things Japanese, Work Wear and Americana I could spend hours shooting the breeze with them. They just put me on to this great photographer Mitch Epstein.

Addressing the theme of American recreation, the photos published in this book are a collection of 15 years worth of work document American leisure.

Vintage - Mountain Dew

I'm becoming more and more obsessed with vintage gear; furniture, 60s American culture, clothes, looks, style, themes.
