Sometimes I think I was a subpar navigator in a previous life ... one who collected maps, obsessed over the minute details of itineraries, and then collected necessary (and often unnecessary) belongings to take on the journey, only to spend the whole adventure looking out of the window, taking photographs, and collecting souvenirs.

True Blood has the most beautiful opening credits of a television show since The Wire, and it's good to have it back.

There are so many good frames to see, I've dissected it here.

Or watch the regular opening sequence below:

David Lynch is on a road trip.

I came across two images today that sum up the day I've had (both, conveniently, via Creative Review's blog).

1. It wasn't meant to end like this. A sculpture on a Danish beach by the Glue Society (love their website. Check out their Pigeon, too).

2. A forest photography by United Visual Artists, soon to be exhibited at London's Smithfield Gallery. (I'm a big fan of their work with Vivenne Westwood and Massive Attack.)

Bobby Solomon's Kitsune Noir is one of the few blogs I make time to read every day. His discovery in the Life Magazine Archive of scooter kids in Japan from 1964 resulted in a post I've been going back to again and again. Thus, since I've resurrected this blog, I finally get to link to his post. Enjoy the rest.
