The Inverted Bike Shop -> Show Love

I like the personal approach to this Brooklyn based bike shop called 718c Cyclery, and the overall in-store presentation, especially the exploded view of the bicycle hung on the wall towards the beginning of the video. Pretty fresh. Nice documentary coming from the story tellers at showloveworld.com.

“Amongst the multitude of bike shops across Manhattan and [...]

PRIME Burger -> thismustbetheplace

PRIME from thismustbetheplace on Vimeo.

This beautifully captured short documentary left me feeling bit home sick for NYC, and also a lot hungry for a good ol’ fashioned burger. Well worth the view.

Notes from Vimeo:

“Prime Burger Restaurant, in Midtown Manhattan. For many of the guys that work here, the restaurant is like a second home – [...]

LIFECYCLE -> 365 days in the life of a bike in NYC

This is a pretty creative take on your everyday 365 project. NYC based ‘Red Peak Branding Company’ chained a fully accessorized bicycle to a post and took a daily shot for a year. You can pretty much guess what happend, but it’s still fun to watch.

Priceless Campout -> Steph Goralnick

NYC based photographer Steph Goralnick never fails to impress with her ability to capture seasonal events in a robust way. The photos above from a recent Summer camping/rafting trip are totally fun. Here in Seattle, we’ve been lucky to even approach 80°, so these images really make me long for Summer. I last posted in [...]

NYC Photos -> JHSINDESIGN

The above photos are a few highlights from my recent NYC trip. It’s been a while since I’ve posted any of my “hobbyist photography” efforts. I’m still loving the Canon 7D. I still haven’t found the time to take any serious HD video with it, hoping to do so this summer. Especially since I’ve added [...]

Mindrelic -> Manhattan in Motion

Mindrelic – Manhattan in motion from Mindrelic on Vimeo.

Great timelapse work coming from Rochester, NY based videographer Josh Owens. From his sweeping slow pans over time square to the street level pedestrian shots this video is absolutely stunning.

The 99% Conference -> NYC 2011

Last week I was fortunate enough to be able to attend the 99% conference in NYC, organized by the Behance network and sponsored by Pantone, Good, Coalesse, Blackberry and a few others. The 99% name comes from the classic Thomas Edison quote “Genius is 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration”, the diverse content that was presented [...]

Next Stop Atlantic -> Stephen Mallon

A friend of mine posted this on her Facebook page today and I immediately took interest. The photo style and the subject matter was just too interesting for me not to investigate. These shots were taken by New York based photographer Stephen Mallon. What is happening in them is the MTA’s way of giving back to [...]

Dana Tanamachi -> Hand Lettering Chalk Typography

When I was in school I thought my typography teacher was pure evil for having us hand letter the alphabet over and over until we got our kerning and serifs perfectly nailed down. Years later, I now understand and greatly appreciate what he was teaching us. Brooklyn based designer Dana Tanamachi has a collection of [...]

NYC Blizzard Photos -> Steph Goralnick

I’ve been following Brooklyn, NY based photographer Steph Goralnick on Flickr for a while now. Her photos are always amazingly candid, full of style and stand-out personality. Recently she posted an unbelievable collection of monotone night captures taken during one of New York’s unusually harsh winter storms… so nice! Many more to be found on her Flickr [...]

Buck -> Showreel Montage 2010

Buck Showreel Montage 2010 from Buck on Vimeo.

A few days ago L.A. and NYC based creative agency ‘Buck’ uploaded their slamming new 2010 Showreel Montage. Full of animation, illustration and other high energy creative emissions, it makes for a really entertaining view. There is a lot more to see on their website as well.

Freedom Tunnel -> Charles le Brigand

Above are a few nice stills from the below short video documentary of one of NYC’s more mysterious hidden underground places called ‘The Freedom Tunnel’ that many New Yorkers may have heard about, but few have actually seen with their own eyes. I really like the degree of contrast and vignette used in these shots, [...]

Heart and Soul of NYC -> Kevin Couliau

Red Cafe – Heart and Soul of New York City by K1X from K1X on Vimeo.

This video reminds me of all the time I spent watching b-ball games just outside the West 4th street station in the village. Just killing time, in the summer, in NYC, there really is no place like it. It’s a [...]

kevin Cyr -> Van Drawings (update)

I ♥ the work of Brooklyn based Kevin Cyr and have posted about his amazing paintings and drawings in the past. It’s good to see that he’s continued to hold steady on his subject matter and has updated his site with more great work. This time he’s added some interesting tones and textures to his [...]

The competition travels from one destination to another where the artists render their creations side by side in front of a large audience, from the pics on the ‘Secret Wars’ website it looks to be quite the traveling party [...]
