Vegas

lasvegas

I recently went to Las Vegas for a conference. And after the conference, I partied Vegas-style with the other attendees which was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I was barely outside of the hotel during the daytime, but I still like this photo as a little reminder of the circus type of sophistication that is Vegas.

Loft Lust

Particularly gravitating towards the black cube table that contrasts with the tapered legs on the furniture, the dainty bird cage in the background, and the linear lighting.

Outtake

Tom Palumbo got his start working at Harper’s Bazaar and later went on to shoot for Vogue, and many other publications. This photo is an outtake for Junior Bazzar from the early 1950s. Don’t you just love her dress?

Character Good Reads

Glimmer

I recently finished Glimmer by Warren Berger, which is about how design can change the world, business, society, and even your career and life. Design thinking is a hot topic lately, and this book is full of innovative design examples and explores how designers think. It will also surely expand your definition of design, and help you more creatively approach different situations for greater success.

Glimmer also follows celebrated designer Bruce Mau throughout the book, and I’ve decided I’m going to be him when I grow up.

$19 at Amazon.

Fin

“Inspired by the avant-garde cinematography of Jean Cocteau, this imagined final scene seeks to capture a style that in films like Beauty and the Beast was, paradoxically, both modernist and classical at the same time.”
