October went by like a bullet. These first two photos were from the Static launch, where we had bands play by a campfire while we roasted marshmallows and kept cozy.

And that's Tom stepping on the fire at the end.

This one belonged to the same set as the previous post:

The large globe is from the '70s and was a birthday present from Melody. The miniature globe atop my Penguins is from a map store I fell in love with in Edinburgh:

The old shopkeeper was really friendly and gave us insider tips on what to do around the city!

I've started collecting these old Penguins the first time I went to the Trinity College book sale.
Since then, I've been adding more to my meagre collection.

Most of these were found stowed away in boxes, on dusty shelves in thrift shops around Oxford and London.

Zoetrope: All Story & copies of Static!

I have never been so completely enamoured with a magazine before this latest issue of Francis Ford Coppola's Zoetrope: All Story.
I'm so glad I picked it up out of impulse. Most spontaneous purchases, specially when it comes to magazines, don't always end up being worthwhile, methinks. But this definitely is.

This issue pairs horror stories by Ryu Murakami, Alexandra Kleeman, etc. with designs by Kate and Laura Mulleavy of Rodarte. (Whaaat, I know.)
It is a perfect blend of fashion and (mostly) contemporary literature -- a literary Lula, essentially.

full spread of Rodarte and more instant photos from Halloween

Thursday

I picked up and dusted off my instant camera to put it to good use again!

The first photo was taken at Lakeview, where we had a sundae before heading to the opening of David Waldman's photo exhibit at Oz Studios. The second was from said exhibit, where you need magnifying glasses to look at the photos!
This shot of Matt has to be my favourite of the collection.
