Carne Mag
February, 26 2010 by Nuno Oliveira
Ricky Adam (see below) has notified me that he’s also just been featured in something called Carne Mag, which I have never heard of.
I went to the site, downloaded issue 2 and proceeded to be fully blown away by all the great stuff that’s featured. Carne Mag is a monthly digital magazine (yes, flippy pages) and I think it’s one of the better ones I’ve ever come across. First of all, it took a few minutes to download the issue, but I didn’t have to wait for any pages to load when I was checking out the mag so it was worth it. In addition, the whole thing looks really nice and is easy/quick to navigate.
Carne Mag features a good mix of photography, art, design and is definitely worthy of a check out if you are into those things. As an added surprise, Brian Barnhart is also featured in issue 2.

Tokyo Camera Style
February, 23 2010 by Harrison Boyce
I came across this link to Tokyo Camera Style on Yimmy the other day and what can you really say? It’s an amazing blog (with an extreme nerd level) that strictly showcases photographers holding their cameras. If you are a regular reader of Defgrip, you know we have a major soft spot for all types of cameras… There’s something about them that can easily draw me in, loosing an entire work day, not looking at actual photos, but photos of cameras, thus making Tokyo Camera Style a gift and a curse.

Mike Burroughs’ BMW 5 series
February, 19 2010 by Mike Ardelean
After my early 20s I pretty much wanted nothing to do with “modded” cars. But what our buddy Mike Burroughs did with his once-totalled E28-chassis BMW is another thing entirely.
This car lived a long life and went through a lot of phases. Luckily Mike is nice with the camera and documented every iteration of it. When the car finally met its end, Mike made a rather tasteful short video dedicated to its memory, which you can view below.

Vans and The Places Where They Were
February, 14 2010 by Nuno Oliveira
I’m definitely one of those persons who takes photos of random automobiles, so I was stoked on this van set from Joe Stevens.
According to the site:
Vans and the places where they were documents surviving custom and conversion vans across the West and examines the dialogue which exists between a van’s design aesthetic and that of its surrounding environment. The project began in 1996 and currently consists of hundreds of images shot on 120 film.
Peep the Van set HERE.
