Kidnapping
Went to 2 different locations with a good friend of mine, to shoot these. The one on the road was the most fun to shoot, since we had to watch out for police and traffic. My friend had a bag over his face and I was standing backwards towards the cars - not the most comfortable feeling.

Designer.
Being an avid reader of GQ (I kid not, I am, quite possibly, their #1 fan among females. And, like, #7 among males), I pay a huge amount of attention to what they talk about fashion-wise, how they style their editorials, and the products they endorse. I think that even a man that has no idea what a pocket square is can appear to be a style expert if he strategically follows what GQ has to say. I'm not saying, you copy what you see on the photograph, but you follow the rules, be realistic about your body structure, and shop wisely.
Anyway, now that that is written, I hate to delete it, but I was actually not going to write about GQ. The reason why I did start with GQ, however, is because I wanted to say that despite being one of my favorite magazines, it is not the people on the pages of GQ that I consider the most stylish. I agree that they all look like dapper devils, but who doesn't look amazing in GQ? These guys are experts at what they do, and they can take the most helpless example and turn them into Alain Delon.

An Unlikely Christmas Worth Remembering
I have a love-hate relationship with airlines (with the hate part usually outweighing the love part by a margin). I know I couldn't go places that I love without them, but when every time you board a plane, you learn new rules about flying (it started with pay per view films and stretched to pay per rest pillows), it becomes frustrating to say the least. What gets me the most is that it seems like while you usually pay a significant amount of money for at times questionable comfort and service (on top of that you get your luggage lost, your plane delayed, and a fee the price of the initial ticket to get a date changed), at the end of it all it feels like they couldn't care less. You step off a plane and you see tired, expressionless faces, and undeniably, frustration starts creeping in.
But, there are exceptions apparently. And as much as I hate when it happens, I have to admit, I got proven wrong on the 'they couldn't care less' part. Apparently some could. Spanair did a wonderful gesture to their passengers on a flight between Barcelona and Las Palmas on the 24th of December. The flight started at around 20:00, and when it landed it was almost midnight. Check out the video to see how Spanair tried to brighten the mood and add a little celebration into an otherwise blah Christmas Eve.
P.S. Recently, I have made several posts about advertising, and I have to say, this is another great example. But, I rather not look at it from that perspective. Firstly, because it's a nice gesture regardless. And secondly, because a part of me still believes in Santa, and if he had anything to do with this, I don't want him to find out that I doubted him when he comes to pregnantwhalescanboogie to get an update on Alex's new photography. I don't even celebrate Catholic Christmas, but hey, 'tis the season to be jolly falalalala lala lala.

"only the birds fly first class"
Went out to take some photos of birds, to create some custom brushes, in the process shot these.

What a wonderful photograph of Juergen Teller on a piano...
I have zero musical talent. I tried learning to play the guitar and was told by my own teacher - who I was paying money to btw - that it just was not worth the struggle.
Now, if I knew this is what playing a musical instrument gets you, I might have not taken my music teacher's advice.

Couple.
Let's admit that we've all done it. Whether it was while walking around Williamsburg in Brooklyn, or hanging out on the beach in São Paulo, or consuming a baguette in Paris, we all went "awww" when we saw that super stylish couple across the street. I'm not miss romance, but two people dressed well, with taste, and to compliment one another is by far the most romantic thing out there.
There is a well known couple that makes me go "awww" pretty much every time I come across a picture of them. Find out who they are after the jump! Oh the suspense..
