Does the Name Lyndon Wade mean anything to you?
I’m always on the prowl for inspirational photographers with outlandish conceptual shoots….Lyndon Wade has many creative, way out of the box projects. From a children focused series titled The Birds, to a fantasy, carnival- esque Lyndon Show shoot, to Room 107, which depicts all the many things that could happen on different nights in one single hotel room…this guy’s done...
Forever 21 vs. Anthropologie
“One would think that after over 50 lawsuits during the last 3.5 years would deter Forever 21 from pushing the limits of copyright laws. With good lawyers on their side, co-founders Do Won Chang and Jin Sook Chang, who also act as the corporation’s chief executive and head buyer, have been able to push almost all suits under the rug, going about their merry, cheap-o knockoff business.

Lyrid Meteor Shower: expect 10-20 meteors per hour...
Every year in late April Earth passes through the dusty tail of Comet Thatcher, and the encounter causes a meteor shower—the Lyrids. This year the shower peaks on Wednesday morning, April 22nd.

Based on a true story (and a book), Defiance portrays the lives of brothers who take refuge in the woods as they avenge the deaths of their family and friends by creating a new community and saving thousands of other Jews and Russians lives. I saw this movie last night at Movieland….it’s still there…..go see it! Filmed in Lithuania, this movie is beautiful, inspiring and not at all a typical war...

He treats each photograph like a movie, creating the set and the characters, and adds one of his daughters in as the star of each shot. Some of his pieces are even available as cameo styled necklaces on his etsy: joshuahoffine.etsy.com

repeat offenders in the center of Richmond
I usually see this doll walking down the streets of Harrison with vibrant bright colors, big 60’s Sunglasses and a huge smile on her face. She looks just as vibrant in this fashion forward Lamixx detachable hooded overall and innocent vintage lace shirt. Lace stockings are a hard look to rock but paired with simple colors it gives her outfit an edge that reflects her personality. Ebony I...
