Looks like a nice place. Something Old and New at the same time - always a great feat in design of space.
On the way to Cody, Wyoming
From a recent trip to Cody, Wyoming to pick up Jade. What a great drive. Myself, my thoughts, music and the most beautiful scenery. I absolutely love driving long distances. When you do it by yourself, it is such an interesting window of perspective on your life. It feels like flying without the altitude.
The Paradise Papers
This is important. This leak exposed a bottleneck in the global financial network. It runs through the Appleby Law Firm in Bermuda. (Certainly there are many other firms like this) Which essentially provides discreet advice, documentation and safe haven for trillions in corporate profits. Tax rate: 0%. It also shows connections between the many individuals, governments and banks a crossed various industries throughout the entire world.
Further illuminating the fact that the infrastructures, programs and resources of the nations of the world are funding by taxes collected by the middle classes (upper and lower classes as well) but the super elite are largely above the system. Entirely.
The Gilded Age of the 21st Century.

Lupita Nyong'o's Op-Ed in the New York Times
A beautifully written comprehensive nail-in-the coffin on Weinstein and the systemic abuse of power in Hollywood. When she writes about her experience in his home in Westport, I think of the genius of Jordan Peele's - 'Get Out'

Whitney Houston and Clive Davis, 1983
A powerful image given the influence he had on her life from this day forward. She was 19.
I never knew how much of an impact her sexuality had on her addiction.

TAME IMPALA - PANORAMA FESTIVAL, 2017
Principal.
Before it was (this widely) politicized.
Before hypocritical owners locked arms in solidarity.
Before it was easy.
This started with one man and his principals fearless of what he had to lose.
Then Eric Reid.
Look at this now. He is still unsigned. So much respect.
Shou sugi ban
"Shou Sugi Ban is a Japanese technique for preserving and finishing wood by charring it with fire. The treatment — which leaves behind a dense, carbonized layer of blackness. It’s a counterintuitive but ingenious idea: heating wood to render it fireproof. If you’ve ever tried to rekindle a campfire using burnt logs, you get the idea. The combustion also neutralizes the cellulose in the wood — the carbohydrates that termites, fungus and bacteria love — making it undesirable to pests and resistant to rot. The resulting charcoal layer repels water and prevents sun damage as well. By some estimates, boards that have undergone this process can last 80 years or more."
