One of my favorite recent discoveries , the psychic photographer Ted serios . He would concentrate on a memory and imprint his memories onto polaroid film ( as it was instant and no alteration could be make later in lab ) and no one has been able to prove that his photographs are not in fact real . The imperfections such as words on signs being spelled wrong , is what makes it impossible to prove they aren’t real . They are photos of memories , blurry and inaccurate , as a memory would be. Ted was famous in the 1970’s and would perform his psychic photography on live television , but had to get absolutely hammered to be in the right mental state to do so . And he is Greek so , I like him even more.

i have a hard time picking one particular favorite photographer, but i admire this guy’s work so much, especially as a music photographer myself.
maybe part of it is because we seem to use similar techniques, but i know a huge detail of his work that i love is how he captures the crowd. maybe it’s just because concert crowds now aren’t usually as rowdy as they were in the 90s, but looking at his photos, i feel like i’m actually placed in the chaos and fanaticism at that show. of course, he’s a huge figure in documenting the grunge scene, and as someone who was raised on that culture, i seriously admire that too. it’s just awesome to me seeing photos that i know were shot on film look as insane as his; it is something i aspire to do.

She’sa photographer named Sinziana Velicescu. I first saw her about nine years ago on tumblr and have followed her since. she captures the feeling of Southern California in a unique and true-to-life way. And her work has a sense of humor to it that gives it warmth and life even though her compositions are precise.
Also for photography, check out The Heidies and Brooke Holm.

She mostly photographs Southern California, where I’ve always lived, but creates meticulous compositions out of boring and inconsequential architecture rather than from beautiful people and gorgeous vistas.
I don’t think her photos ever include people so there’s a sense of distance or disconnection from the rest of the world. And even disconnection from what people think of when they hear California.
The weather is ideal here and Mother Nature did great work here, yes, but anything man made was built in the last 75 years. It’s all built as a home for cars, not humans. There’s a cognitive dissonance that comes with living here.
I’ve seen a few photographers produce similar work, but she’s inimitable. Follow her @ casualtimetravel

It is so rare for angler fish to find one another in the deep abyss , but when a male finds a female, the male attaches himself to her. Slowly … he morphs into her .. losing his eyes .. his mouth .. and everything else that resembles being a fish. He fuses into her until there’s nothing of him left . There is something horrifying but also romantic about it .

The direct flights from Paris to Los Angeles cost 300 and the plane is empty, so much so you can book the day of. It allows me travel impulsively to Paris at a low cost / low risk. You get a whole row to yourself so it’s basically first class. I am telling you this secret as I have a feeling it won’t last so please , fly with French bee before it’s too late .

This is a great idea when you don’t have the mental capacity to pick and outfit but you want to look put together . Just put on an expensive coat and you’re good to go . I love having my hair blow dried , nice earrings and an expensive coat and having people think I’m sophisticated. It’s exciting to know you could flash and commit a crime at any moment . Every time I do it I swear , people treat me different , ask me out on dates , smile at me , give me things for free. Just don’t do it at the airport as I did in once before as - they will ask you to take your coat off .
