Two shots from the phone at the eXile Bar in Columbus with the inaugural performance of Hairplane!
As they’ve been described: “Hairplane! is a tongue-in-cheek lounge act similar to Richard Cheese or
Nouvelle Vague, with a Morphine flavor.” I think that sums it up nicely.

Dag they were good.

After the whirlwind trip to Brooklyn, I took it easy with the camera when I got back home.
This snapshot is from my phone as I stood in line at Putz’s Creamy Whip with my mom.
Man that place is good.

My copy of 15 Uses for Newsprint has been living in this envelope for too long,
an envelope made all the more awesome by the drawing by Zachariah O’Hora on the outside.

This admission is a mental reminder that I have a host of thank you notes
and whatnot to write and deliver to the post office.

A lime, a glass, and a nice cursive L.
Not in view: the alley where this image came from that was filled with type and photography lovers.
Had a kick ass time on the Found Type Photowalk even though I forgot sunscreen.

Sat a row behind Bobulate and marveled at her curls.

Finally, I visited Terry’s Turf Club for what is very possibly my favorite burger. (Dare I say ever?)
The ambiance was warm from the neon and jovial moods of patrons and staff.
The beer selection was sublime.
And the burger was Delicious.

In my determination to only post images taken from the day, in order, I find myself stubbornly behind.
Fret not. That car wreck was more of an inconvenience than anything major.
There will be documentation of it soon enough.

For now, I present my favorite camera strap I’ve ever owned.
Sure, there might be more functional ones, but this one makes me (and almost everyone else) smile.
It’s made by these folks called Souldier.
(and yes, I mentioned it in our gift guide at the studio, but I never got around to putting this image in that post)

Zachary Lieberman (right) gives a talk at a Creative Morning at the SVA in Manhattan.
I’ve so much to say about his inspiring slice of time, I could go on and on and on.
And I will!
But I refuse to let this album get bogged down with my slow, long-form posting.
These are snapshots. I hope to try and capture extended impressions in the journal when I catch up.

The weather has been so nice all summer, I feel ashamed that I haven’t been using my bike.
I remedied the broken handlebars and flat tires yesterday, and hooked up the rack to the car for extra measure.
Dan got the fever after a few loops around the block and bought himself a sweet ride today.
To celebrate we went down to the path by the Little Miami River and did a little 9 mile back and forth.
Man we waited too long. Pouring over maps now and making plans to do this more often.

Now this, this is how they made signs in the good ol’ days.

With motion and sound, as I test out HD recording…

My favorite thing to photograph at the studio lately? Kelley Deal’s scarves.

I think the appropriate graphic design response involves the words: kick ass, and awesome.
