A nightly tradition of mine is to unwind by scrolling through photography work on social media platforms, mainly VSCO and Instagram. One of my favorite artists of all time is adventure and travel photographer Forrest Mankins. I mean literally every single one of his shots that he shares on a weekly basis are so beautiful. His work stood out to me because of his story of how he left everything behind at age 19, with his old truck and followed his passion for traveling, adventure, and photography. Forrest is my Twitter and Instagram feed cleanser on a daily basis, I highly recommend following him!

Brian is one of the hardest working street film photographers in New York City. I love his ability to curate photo carousels with linear narrative themes. He captures authentic moments that happened just behind you. His work is a reminder that New York is alive and odd in all the right places when you aren’t looking. Sometimes when he leaves the Fantasy office in Williamsburg, he walks to Harlem just to take pictures along the way. I’ve seen some of his unreleased projects and you’ll be doing yourself a favor if you follow along too.

I first met Sinna when the New York Times sent him up to Montana to photograph me for a piece during the pandemic. He spends most of time doing documentary photography and photojournalism, and was in the middle of covering the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally when he got the assignment. I feel like he brings a fly-on-the-wall, investigative quality to his portraits, and a portrait-like staging to his images of plane spotters, Met Gala afterparties and Las Vegas architecture. I’ve always aspired to collide mainstream and underground approaches, but he makes it look effortless. His instagram is also a constant stream of fascinating candid clips and observations.

His style is loose and playful and he captures whatever he draws so beautifully. Korey draws a lot of quotidian scenes which make me excited just to take a walk around the neighborhood 🫶

I’ve never been to Disney as a kid and as I grew older I always felt like I was too old for it. I spontaneously tagged along with my family the day before they left and I think that was the best decision I’ve ever made. I’m a huge fan of Star Wars and Avatar, and even as an adult I think I had the best week of my life and I felt like a kid again. I legitimately had real tears of joy on some of the rides. It’s never too late!

While everyone is raving about their trendy nonstick pans, I’m here to bring the spotlight back to cast iron cookware. There’s a huge stigma around how hard it is to take care of cast irons, but it’s really not bad! You just gotta keep using it, and over time, it basically becomes nonstick. This article has sent off a tangent, and now I am a proud owner of a well-seasoned cast iron pan and griddle.

Antique shops have a special place in my heart because it reminds me of my childhood road trips. When I was little, I always thought antique shops were just useless junk. As I grew older, I’ve learned to appreciate the “junk” a bit more. Browsing through the aisles, they kind of feel like a time machine. My top things to look out for are vintage cameras, dutch ovens, and vintage porcelain.
