COREY ARNOLD | FISHING WITH MY DAD 1978–1995

… at AMPERSAND GALLERY, portland. thx to JUXTAPOZ for the blog entry about this really nice exhibition and the teaser photos – i love ’em. AMPERSAND notes: “The show is a collaboration of sorts between Corey & his father, Chris Arnold, who made several of these photographs throughout his son’s childhood as he grew up an avid sport fisherman in Southern California. The photographs speak to the fact that fishing & story telling go hand  in hand & that cameras & their snapshots have historically served to verify the truth of often questionable narratives.” pics | Corey Arnold







LIFE TIME GEAR | PRIVATE FAVORITES #28 “THE REVIVAL TOUR”

last night i saw BRIAN FALLON (the gaslight anthem), CHUCK RAGAN, DAN ANDRIANO (alkaline trio) and DAVE HAUSE (the loved ones) in concert at RINGKIRCHE in wiesbaden, germany. with my buddy DR. KAI HOFFMANN i joined the gig of “THE REVIVAL TOUR 2011”. this band project, this acoustic collaborative, is something special and it was a great and mystic event. it is a long time ago i went to church … the sound was delicious and when CHUCK went to the middle of the church to perform, away from the stage it was nearly something holy to me. the concert was sold out since months. bad pics | via LTG’S iphone

This bike can be viewed in the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles,  CA during normal business hours.” pics | DERRINGER

LASCO SHOES | THE MAKING OF AN AMERICAN SHOE SHOP

checking my blog favorites i stumbled over a post at the great menandwomenofindustry.com -blog which showed some sneaker-like boots. i do not like this style but the description of what LASCO “LOS ANGELES SHOE COMPANY” does made me curious. and what i found was a great video on their site.
hope this new company will make its way. video & pics | LASCO®

DERRINGER CYCLES | #01 | “THE BESPOKE COLLECTION”

Made at the intersection of nostalgia and adrenaline. A heritage of speed and danger. A pedigree of exceptional engineering. An aesthetic unlike anything on the road.  For the discerning rider, it is the next generation motorbike.” my god – this is an absolute MUST HAVE for me. but i think that a DERRINGER is very expensive and so on top the german customs duty will be very high, too. but i will contact them. this is one of the most beautiful wheeler i ever saw. a dream!

here some pics of “THE DERRINGER BESPOKE COLLECTION”: “A modern interpretation of the board tracking racing motorcycles of the 1920s,  Derringer cycles capture the simple,  pared-down,  aggressiveness of early motorsport while delivering an intricate level of personalized customization. Like their owners,  no two Derringer cycles are the same …” pics |  derringercycles.com
