It’s one thing to get inspired by an artist as you come across their work on the internet, but’s another thing to watch an artist’s progression in real life. Although I’m sure he was taking pictures before it happened, I’d argue that getting hired at Freshjive was one of the first big breaks of Ian [...]
Having experienced Coachella for the first time this weekend, I thought it only appropriate to share some insight from a few of my experiences there. In short, Coachella is a spectacle of epic proportions. Unless you’ve touched another grandiose music festival, it’s hard to compare Coachella to anything else. Although Friday provided everything but sandal [...]

I have to admit that much of today’s indie music remixes that line the charts of hypem and other pop music blogs by in large, miss me.

Broadway Boogie Woogie (1943) Describing his artistic pursuits as as “a search for beauty in its most simple (honest) form: line, shape and color,” the work of Piet Mondrian remains influential to the development of abstract art in the 20th century. Most recognized for his bold, grid-based paintings, much of Mondrian’s work dealt with theories [...]
Photography by Rebekkah Castellanos The vibe, the music, the atmosphere- it’s all important. But at the end of the day, a great party begins and ends with great people. Friday night marked our eleventh celebration, and in our mind, provided us with an opportunity to break from the norm. This one was a little different, [...]

If you’ve been with us for a while, you might recall a video we posted back in 2009 entitled 30 Hornets vs. 30,000 Bees. In it, a gang of 30 hornets demolish a colony of 30,000 bees after a hornet scout discovers the nest. Five times the size of a European Honey Bee, one giant [...]
It’s a subtle difference, but one that’s only revealed itself once I realized I owe more money than I have. “Damn what have I been spending all my money on? Do I even have anything to show for it?” I ask myself. A couple good meals, some watered down drinks and some weed I suppose. [...]
What does it feel like to blow up? For your whole life to change in a matter of months, weeks, days, or god forbid overnight? It’s something to consider with it being the 2012 and all; a lot of things are about to change. Nonetheless, the question popped into my head when watching this portrait [...]
“From twenty to four until ten, I stand on the corner and just greet people; let them know that life is sweet, life is beautiful, no matter what happens in life it’s always sweet to be alive.” Dedicating six hours of his day to making other people’s day a little bit brighter, at 88 years [...]
