Love the embossed leather label. This is a well-done product, from top to bottom. Bravo.

I just found these photos I took in Eastern Europe way back in 2003. I was convinced that I had accidentally deleted them.

I came across these covers for two of Akira Kurosawa’s best flicks the other day while looking for another one of his films on Netflix. Love them.

This video is a summary of pretty much everything I’ve been into for the past two months.

This is the second part in a series of beautiful videos on coffee making at Intelligentsia in Venice, California. Video by the Dept. of the Fourth Dimension.

The way everything is kept black & white except for the coffee is incredibly charming.

Thanks to Dan Cederholm for highlighting the first video in this series over at SimpleBits.

While I was on holiday in the Philippines earlier this month, I had the great pleasure of attending a parade for Fiesta on the island of Romblon. I was loving the signs that each tribe had created, so I snapped a quick series of them.

Two Thousand Ten

Aina is the Hawaiian word for land and for me 2010 is a year of reconnecting to the earth. In 2009, we experienced a year filled with financial problems, political tensions and fear in the media… As a forest sometimes burns, new life regrows in its place. While we may have had a year of burning I feel like the soil we have to grow out of is fertile and full of growth.

-Mark Boulton

At least I think Mark Boulton wrote that on Colourlovers. I can’t seem to find it now, but I scribbled it on some paper and I like it more and more each day. I believe the quote was in reference to the color he chose as the color of 2010. Apparently, Pantone decided it’s turquoise.
