TOMMY HIGGINS- A CHELTBMX ORIGINAL

This is pretty funny. Thanks to Chris Hill-Scott for the link.

Wallpaper TV

Wallpaper just apparently launched a new “TV” section to their website today (although it looks like some of the videos have been up for a while) . The first few videos are from their Design Awards, featuring Stefano Pilati, Kanye West, Mark Newson, and Jean Nouvel. I was hoping for a bit more substance to [...]

Hoang’s Polaroids

Not only is Hoang Tran an incredible bike rider and owner of some of the wildest barspins out there, he’s a super creative kid. He’s going to art school for graphic design full time, and is always filming and shooting photos with the Give D crew. Subrosa just posted up a few of his Polaroids [...]

Chad Moore

While we are on the topic of point and shoot photography, Chad Moore, who is currently living in NYC, just hit me up with a link to his new portfolio site. Check out Chad Moore’s photos here.

Point and Shoot

As the readers of Defgrip already know, we are all big fans of the whole point and shoot style of photography. Almost everyone that contributes to Defgrip has a point and shoot and while it may not always be my main camera, I do use one a lot. I acquired a Yashica T4 from David [...]

David Kelley “Design Thinking”

There is a great article with David Kelley, the founder of Ideo, one of the most important design firms in the world, on the Fast Company site. The article touches a bit about Kelley’s life and his battle with cancer, but the article focuses on Kelley’s idea of “Design Thinking”. Designing experiences rather than objects. [...]

Joaquin Phoenix as a Rapper

Many of you have probably heard that Joaquin Phoenix has officially retired from acting and has taken up rapping. And why not? The live recording doesn’t sound so hot, but if you’ve ever watched live hip-hop then you know that live hip-hop is usually terrible, even when performed by the greats. From what I can [...]

TED Talks: Larry Lessig

I love TED.com. All of the talks I’ve heard so far have been so amazing, I wasn’t sure which one to post up here first. I know a lot of Defgrip readers are creative types so I thought this one would be appropriate: renowned New York lawyer Larry Lessig so eloquently points out that the [...]

Hedi Slimane Vs. YSL

Famed fashion designer Hedi Slimane has been getting a lot of recognition for his photography over the past few years and after leaving his lead design position at Dior, that seems to be all he’s been doing. He has a personal site that he updates quite regularly and his images are pretty amazing. This past [...]

Animal Collective

This is currently my favorite song.

Q&A: BOOGIE

One of the gnarliest photo books I’ve ever come across, is “It’s All Good” by a Brooklyn based photographer who goes by the name of Boogie. It’s all Black and White, and shot within Bushwick, Bed-Stuy, and Queensbridge in NY. Lot’s of crazy images in that, which you can get a sample of from that [...]

STRADDLE THE BIKE THERE STEVE.

Man, the crew has been unearthing some classic stuff… Check out Superfly and Rob-O on Fox News from back in the day. Hit up SuperBmx for the story behind this. I should track down the tape of me when I was on Channel 12 news when some guy was complaining about our trails. I’m pretty sure [...]

Terry Richardson on Wealth and Taste

I was checking out the new Young Jeezy/Terry Richardson campaign for Belvedere Vodka, and it let me to an interesting video commentary with Terry. He comments on the irony of taste and wealth no longer being synonymous with each other. Belvedere has been driving that point home with commercials like this one featuring Vincent Gallo [...]

DAVID LANG / THE WORLD’S BEST EVER

David Lang scored the “Picture of The Day” on The World’s Best Ever site. The pic is from his Defgrip Autophoto. T.W.B.E is one of the sites I check daily, so I was stoked when I came across this.
