Basically I love this city, I love this shot, and I love the Dream Camera blog. I wish this were hanging on my wall.

Check out the awesome new tumblr theme my friend, Hrrrthrrr, designed! It’s fantastilicous. Oh, and yours truly programmed it, so NBD.

hrrrthrrr:

Inspired by the many people that ask me for help on designing and coding tumblr themes, I have brand new theme up in the theme garden called Framework that will hopefully make it much easier to build a theme you love!

Framework is a stripped down theme jam packed with well over 100 appearance options to help you design a theme that’s totally you!

With Framework you can control the overall size and positioning of your theme and side column. You choose the font, size and color of almost every element on your blog. The background and header graphics are completely up to you. This theme supports large photos and videos creating a clean, beautiful way to showcase your work or inspirations. 

I can’t wait to see how people end up using it. Get it here!

And to see how I used framework check out these:  one / two / three / four

It’s a work-from-the-couch kind of day. (Taken with Instagram at Aero Flats at Stapleton)

This Tribeca loft book area is so lofty. I love it.

Check out this live performance of Oh Brother by You, Me, and Apollo (filmed by my friends at Hoptocopter).

Words I live by: Eat well, travel often.

Sometimes you’re leaving the terminal at the airport and you look out the window to see three planes lined up casting a perfect shadow on the snowy ground. And sometimes you take a picture of it and post it on your blog.

I’ve never been afraid of being wrong, but I spent most of my life afraid of anyone knowing that I was wrong. It’s only been in the last couple of years I’ve been open with my mistakes and it’s such a better life.

I’m pretty much a sucker for really cool motion graphics. This video has got some.

I like this picture almost as much as I like tea.

“What good is it to live with nothing left to give, forget but not forgive, not loving all you see?” Love this line from Coldplay’s “Swallowed in the Sea.” So much there.

More artwork

I love getting things—especially cool things. So when I got back in town to find that my Made Shop 2012 calendar was here, I was pretty jazzed. I hear there are still a few available.

Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr. is perfect music to work to. Check out their “Horse Power EP”, and give a listen to “Nothing But Our Love” on this post.

See some more good music?

In the winter, riders wait for the O’Hare-bound train in the (slightly) warmer upper platform of the UIC-Halsted stop.

More of my photography?

I really try to live like this every day. Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it works. But it’s always worth it.
