I don't know what it is about blurred photos, and rack focused film, but I can't get enough of either lately; so when I came across the blurred photography of Trever Hoehne (courtesy of designworklife), I swooned...which is funny because these photos are pretty much what life looks like without my glasses. Welcome to my world, oh ye of 20/20 vision!

Blacks Without Borders

I first heard Blacks Without Borders mentioned on the Michael Baisden Show. I wasn't really tuned in at the time, but the phrase piqued my interest nonetheless. I made a quick note to look into what I assumed was a site with information specific to Black travelers, kept it moving, and proceeded to forget all about exploring what exactly BWB was until some down time last week in the country (AKA my grandfather's house). What I found is what looks to be quite an interesting film on African-American expats who've settled in and found some fortune in South Africa. I'm chock-full of questions now, so I can't wait to check this film out. Looks interesting...

Structure?

So, I've decided that the format thing isn't going to work for me - yes, that fast. I've just come across far too many cool things that fall through the cracks in the meantime. Sure, I could wait until the appointed day to share, but it's just too hard!

My latest exciting find is Hotel Fox. Located in Copenhagen, Hotel Fox boasts 61 unique rooms decorated by 21 artists. Themes range from lush to fantastic, to everything in-between. It's been around a few years, but this is the first I've heard of it. Take a peek.
