Craig R. Stecyk III - Vintage Photography

I just came across this amazing vintage photography from Craig R. Stecyk III dating back to 1965. The photos work so well together to create a picture of this man's life and the people and things he came across in his hometown of Southern California.

Sound design by Eddie Kim. Original score by Money Mark.

DKNG - Design

I always get worried when I am producing my own design work that I am doing it wrong, taking influences from the wrong sources or overcomplicating the process. So when I found these videos from Los Angeles based design studio DKNG (it makes me sick too, where is my Los Angeles based design studio?) I was so pleased that I was actually designing pretty normally and although everyone has different processes it is always interesting to see how others work.

DKNG focus on the music and entertainment industries so their body of work is pretty amazing, have a look!

Kelley Ash & Graham Dunn for Fashion Gone Rogue

'Post Cards from Kalifornia' taken on expired Polaroid by Graham Dunn for 'Fashion Gone Rogue' perfectly captures the essence of a Californian fashion Road trip.

Kelley Ash is styled in vintage Americana from Wild at Heart Vintage with hair and make up by Juxta.

Harper Smith - Photographer

Too many of my friends are off travelling at the minute, somehow managing to find time in-between swimming under waterfalls and rubbing sun cream into the backs of Brazilian stallions (or whatever) to update their Facebook so everyone knows about it.

But now it is Summer in England and the days are getting warmer I can start to dream about beachside adventures too...and the perfect photographer to get me inspired is Californian Harper Smith.

His work has such a wistful and romantic feel, I can almost imagine I am there frollicking in the water (maybe not frollicking...more dipping my toe in then going back to sit in the shade because of my sunburn)

You can see more of his work including stuff for Nylon, O'Niell and Bruno Mars(?) here.
