Fujifilm x10

A sibling to the recently released Fujifilm x100, the x10 is sure to please. It looks to me like a perfect, compact point and shoot that offers extremely high quality photographs. Perfect for travel and other times when lugging a full-sized DSLR is impractical...

And it looks so good.

Check out all the specs here: Fujifilm X10





The accessories are perfect:

Surveillance: Restoration Hardware

I came across this company recently... Their products look unbelievable. They actually run one hundred retail locations throughout the United States and Canada.

www.restorationhardware.com

Here are some of their press photos. All of the items in the pictures are for sale on their website and in their stores.

Two Inspiring Artists

Two very talented and very original artists presenting what they do. I love hearing talks such as these that really challenge my thinking creatively and stretch me to use my imagination in new ways...

This first video is of an artist named Shea Hembrey, who created 100 different artists (their personalities, etc.) along with all of their artwork. Extremely talented, and extremely creative.





This next video is from a woman named Janet Echelman. She creates massive art installations in urban environments through the use of nets and lace. And it all started with some fisherman in India.

New track posted on my friend's songwriting blog Äppelmos. His latest song captures these first days of spring spectacularly in 5/4 time.

Another great webstore, Peggs And Son, features some great brands that aren't found all that often such as Oliver Spencer. I like this one–it offers some great stuff.
