It’s very important for you to know that I have no taste when it comes to clothing, but a generic, black, pullover hoodie should be in every photographer’s toolkit. It has a ton of utility: it can be a napkin, a drop cloth, a pillow for when you need to take a break. I can’t be worried about what I look like when I’m out taking pictures, and a black hoodie rarely looks stained. Long story short: I need to be wearing clothes that, if I fell into a huge puddle, I wouldn’t care. I’d just throw it in the trash and keep on moving.

a black one i ordered on amazon is one of my most worn clothing items of the past year or so. great quality for like nothing ($15-20) which is rare these days. you can beat the hell out of it not have to worry what happens given you can get a new one just as easy (ideally you don’t need to do this, or very often)

You just need one good one you can throw on that looks decent on you. Mine is this reverse weave Milwaukee hoodie in college text. Bought it while at the airport waiting to head back west while crying because it was my first time coming back home in 4 years. Anyway, it’s a good ass hoodie. I wear it anytime it gets a lil chilly out here. Its never lost its form and no matter what it’s gets me right.

Sometimes a sweatshirt fits great overall, but the collar is too tight on my neck and which causes the the hood to be too tight, blah blah blah. It just leads to not being comfortable in a hoodie. Which is kind of the whole point of wearing one. I bought an old ripped up Russell hoodie on Ebay and it’s become something of a second skin because it 1) fits perfect 2) the collar is loose and 3) it’s not too heavy. Good to have one of these in your rotation.

A great book about the birth of Los Angeles based around the intertwining portraits of engineer William Mulholland, director DW Griffith, and evangelist Aimee Semple McPherson. It presents the city as founded upon myth, greed, and man’s desire to conquer nature- which I think fits into the narrative of just about any metropolis in the USA. In New York City, we have a tendency to write off LA as some kind of self-indulgent city of cars and convenience, but there’s a part of me that thinks that LA’s image is far more honest than NYC’s: it more nakedly illustrates our innate desire as humans to exploit the Earth and each other to claim what we think we deserve as individuals. It’s a true illustration of the “every man for himself” brand of American ambition, and, in my opinion, New York is exactly the same, but we’re just a bit better at hiding it.

Absolutely insane BBC dating show where contestants compete fully in the nude. As the rounds progress and the contestants answer questions, more and more of their bodies are revealed. First it’s their feet, and eventually it’s the whole enchilada. It all takes place in your standard, brightly-lit game show studio.The strangest thing is that the host is totally clothed, making them look like some kind of insane outcast in an alternate nude universe. In a more fair world, the hosts, camera people, and producers would all be working in their birthday suits.

The ultimate fuel for people who like to walk around New York City all day. Lunch that costs more than $12 is a crime, and your dollar takes you very far at Pret. I recommend their Calabrese sandwich with a small orange juice. Something I previously didn’t know is that every day, the staff at Pret hides a star sticker on the back of one of the sandwiches in the refrigerator, and, if you select it, you get that sandwich for free. Unbeknownst to me, I selected one at their 50th street location a while back and when I brought it to the counter, the entire staff cheered for me. It was one of the best days of my life.
