Here are some more photos from around Reykjavik. After shooting all day, I just wanted to see the parts of the city that weren’t “downtown,” so I just headed to the suburbs on the Southwest part of town trying to find the public pools. The reason being is that I’d heard that they have amazing hot tubs calibrated to different temperatures depending on your preference. All of this was true. Places of interest are: the cemetery, the town square, the public school, the public pool, the fishing shack, and the handball court. The day after I took a long roadtrip away from Reykjavik. Roadtrip photos coming soon.

Here are more photos from Brimfield. It was crazy to see all the dudes on bikes with walkies, collectors only looking for one type of thing, people from all over the world sourcing props for their stores and restaurants. Wildness. Things to note: “Military” is spelled “Militry,” porters wear t-shirts letting people know they are there to carry stuff blazed out of their skulls, Mork, DIY Fred Flinstone and Barney Rubble, the vintage Red Sox pendants, the broken instruments, and the food court. Jeez.

Just three and a half hours north of New York, the craziest flea market happens three times per year. On monday night, we drove up to the Quality Inn in Auburn, MA to rest for a few hours before heading to the shows at Brimfield. The Brimfield Shows are happening through the weekend. We’d been told that if you really want to find the best stuff you have to go on the first day; and while running around like wild animals, we ran into friends with the same motivation trying to find things before the prop stylists, the set builders, the J. Crew’s, Ralph Lauren’s, and Tommy Hilfiger’s. The turn-out was pretty incredible; it is the physical manifestation of eBay. I feel that more than ever people are looking for things that have longevity and history as opposed to things that are pre-fabricated and ill-constructed. Although I never really buy much while I’m there, it’s worth going just to witness the spectacle. These are some of the things I found there just walking around.

These images are from my first day in Osaka during this last trip. Osaka is an amazing town. It’s also where most of the good bands come from. It is also a bicycle city. Everyone, from children to senior citizens, has a bike; and nobody locks them up. It’s incredible. Two days ago, my grandmother passed away here, and Osaka was her hometown. As it is my father’s. This series is dedicated to my grandmother who gave me my first camera and taught me how to ride a bike among other things.

I should preface this post by writing that this entry is not for those with weak stomachs. It gets real. Masan is a port city on the southern side on South Korea. It’s famous for seafood. The Masan Fish Market is a daily affair, and it is the REAL DEAL. I’ve been to a few in my day and this one just felt the most raw. And there’s more than fish…..way more. Curiosities I still can’t fathom or interpret. Totally wild.
