A FORTUNE AND A COOKIE

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

MISS_FORTUNE

The whole concept of a fortune cookie is FUNDAMENTAL QULITY and something I wish I thought of;   (A piece a paper in cookie that makes you feel good about yourself and if your lucky  a winning lottery number) unfortunately the Japanese beat me to it.  

A fortune cookie is a crisp Asian cookie usually made from flour, sugar, vanilla, and oil with a “fortune” wrapped inside. A “fortune” is a piece of paper with words of faux wisdom or a vagueprophecy. In the United States and Canada (although also available in other parts of the Western world), it is usually served with Chinese food in Chinese restaurants as a dessert. The message inside may also include a list of lucky numbers (used by some as lottery numbers) and a Chinese phrase with translation. The exact provenance of fortune cookies is unclear, but various immigrant groups in California claim to have popularized them in the early 20th century, basing their recipe on a traditional Japanese cracker.[1] The cookies are mostly unknown in mainland China or Taiwan.

WHATS MORE FUNDAMENTAL THAN THREE LETTERS ON A WHITE BACKGROUND?

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Today after reading hypebeast yesterday ( yes i love that blog) i decided to stop by the MOTHER NEW YORK x ANIMAL x BNE exhibit. If you have ever been to NY Im sure you have seen these stickers or stickers somewhere. The sticker is simple and FUNDAMENTAL “BNE” or “BNE WAS HERE”; the idea to cover major cities with stickers and get worldwide news attention is just vandalism QUALITY at its finest. You don’t have to know what it is or who did it to respect the fact that someone took the time cover over five major cities ( sorry atliens aparantley we are not worthy) with these stickers. Below are some pics with more after the jump.

City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

The talented producer,  Nicolay, recently dropped the album City Lights Vol. 2. Shibuya, the second  installment of his City Lights series. I finally got a chance to grab a copy, and was inspired to snap a few shots of the city lights around Atlanta.

The album is a refreshing change of direction for Nicolay, who is also the producer for  The Foreign Exchange. It’s got this synthesizer, electronic, soul, jazzy kinda vibe, that a true fan of good music can appreciate.
