What a sweet voice.
Feet don’t fail me now
Take me to the finish line
All my heart, it breaks every step that I take
But I’m hoping that the gates,
They’ll tell me that you’re mine
Walking through the city streets
Is it by mistake or design?
I feel so alone on a friday night
Can you make it feel like home, if I tell you you’re mine
It’s like I told you honey
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love’s not enough when the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let’s go get high
Road’s long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause you and I, we were born to die
Lost but now I am found
I can see but once I was blind
I was so confused as a little child
Tried to take what I could get
Scared that I couldn’t find
All the answers, honey
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love’s not enough when the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let’s go get high
Road’s long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words,
This is the last time
Cause you and I
We were born to die
We were born to die
We were born to die
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Don’t make me sad, don’t make me cry
Sometimes love’s not enough when the road gets tough
I don’t know why
Keep making me laugh,
Let’s go get high
Road’s long, we carry on
Try to have fun in the meantime
Come and take a walk on the wild side
Let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain
You like your girls insane
Choose your last words
This is the last time
Cause You and I
We were born to die
We were born to die
A friend just reminded me about one of my all time favorite photographers by sending me this video of Paolo Roversi. His work is stunningly eerie and dreamy.
Here’s an excerpt from his fascinating Bio:
Born in Ravenna in 1947, Paolo Roversi’s interest in photography was kindled as a teenager during a family vacation in Spain in 1964. Back home, he set up a darkroom in a convenient cellar with another keen amateur, the local postman Battista Minguzzi, and began developing and printing his own black & white work. The encounter with a local professional photographer Nevio Natali was very important: in Nevio’s studio Paolo spent many many hours realising an important apprenticeship as well as a strong durable friendship.
In 1970 he started collaborating with the Associated Press: on his first assignment, AP sent Paolo to cover Ezra Pound’s funeral in Venice. During the same year Paolo opened, with his friend Giancarlo Gramantieri his first portrait studio, located in Ravenna, via Cavour, 58, photographing local celebrities and their families. In 1971 he met by chance in Ravenna, Peter Knapp, the legendary Art Director of Elle magazine. At Knapp’s invitation, Paolo visited Paris in November 1973 and has never left.
In Paris Paolo started working as a reporter for the Huppert Agency but little by little, through his friends, he began to approach fashion photography. The photographers who really interested him then were reporters. At that moment he didn’t know much about fashion or fashion photography. Only later he discovered the work of Avedon, Penn, Newton, Bourdin and many others.
Donovan Leitch, Annie Morton and Liberty Ross Cavort Poolside in a Tucker Film
Models Annie Morton and Liberty Ross hole up in a Palm Springs bungalow for a retro-glam romp with actor Donovan Leitch in today’s short. Directed by noted set designer Happy Massee and soundtracked by Charlotte Gainsbourg and Beck’s “Heaven Can Wait,” the film was shot at Tucker designer Gaby Basora’s grandmother’s home and references the 60s Hollywood spirit of Steve McQueen and Marilyn Monroe. “Everything from the house to the clothes to the perfect weather just created this vibe,” Massee says of the nostalgic aesthetic. “My mom had an art house movie theater when I was growing up in Seattle, and in lieu of a babysitter, we’d just sit there and watch whatever was playing, over and over again, until it was time to go. So I have this long relationship with film,” she says.

I just fell in love with photos from a ‘Fish Head’ from Germany. Jorg Badura’s images. Don’t they want to make you run – swim – have an adventure – be in nature – outside – take a breath of fresh air! Stunning!
For more of his work check his website.
A few weeks ago I shot with Travis McCoy, a very talented photographer and wonderful human being based in Los Angles. It was a lot of fun working in the studio and then hiking around to shoot some running images. I love to run – I think it is the best way to clear your head, to discover places and get to know towns, parks and neighborhoods. Travis picked Under Armour Outfits for the shoot. Everything fit perfect – from the shoe, that was fairly light weight, to the shorts and tank top, which felt like a second skin. Maybe I’ll enter another race soon.
Here is a great website that allows you to map your running routes so you can see how far you went.
Ich steh weit oben am Balkon
Und seh die Zukunft weit und breit
Nur Licht, Stahl und Beton
Die Stadt ist ne WG ohne Gemeinschaftsgeist
gestapelt wie in Kartons lebt man modern
Egal wohin man reist
Und schon wieder Lieg ich wach
und so vieles rauscht vorbei
Warum ist jede Stadt auch ein bisschen wie daheim
Wirkt sicher wie eingelebt
All der Kleinkram neben meinem Bett
Ich hol mir mein Kaffee und meine Post
Kommt übers Internet
Ich schreib allen mir geht es gut
und wie gut es tut
mal allein zu sein
alle meinten “Mensch du hast Mut”
Und wie gern würden sie auch mal woanders sein
Und schon wieder Lieg ich wach
und so vieles rauscht vorbei
Darum ist jede Stadt auch ein bisschen wie daheim
