From the tumblr neohamiltonism: liebemarlene vintage: Serenbe Farm.

neohamiltonism is run by Joachim and a few of his friends (if I remember correctly?) and curates photos that exhibit “the resurgence of the David Hamilton feel in contemporary photography.”  It’s enjoyable, cheesy, silly, and beautiful, all at once.  Seems like a great response to some tumblog themes I considered recently.

The New Antiquarians @ NYTimes. (via anjalouise)

An article about the increasing trend in vintage/found objects, especially those that are Victorian or related to nature — taxidermy specimens, old books, etc.  I found the article especially interesting, since one common thread in my interests seems to be a love of the “obsolete” — letterpress, large format photography, etc.  There’s something to be said for the more tactile experiences in today’s technology saturated world.

(I’ve been sitting on this one for a while.  I’ve been so busy since school started, and I’ve had dozens and dozens of tabs open for weeks.  Been meaning to post this for maybe three weeks…)

Carlos Jiménez Cahua

From the artist: “I am Peruvian by blood and birth, but I’ve grown up an American. In the US, and in most places, I feel like I am in a city, region, or nation—those intangible creations of people. But in Lima, I felt not like I was in a city, in Peru, or even South America, but atop the Earth herself.”

Pie Potion #9.

Amanda came over Friday and we made an unbelievably delicious and magical pie, which we decided shall be called Pie Potion #9.  I didn’t have any whole wheat ingredients and also had no almonds, so we made a basic crust without the almond paste.  Essentially, we made a crust, filled the unbaked crust with raspberries and blackberries and a little sugar and lemon juice, then baked it until the crust was done.  Serve with a dollop of raspberry preserves, and you’ve got just about the best pie ever known to man.  I’ll be perfecting this recipe for sure, and I can’t wait to add the almonds next time…  Too bad berry season’s nearly finished.  I could eat this pie every day.  Amanda and I polished off half of it in one sitting.

Obsessives: Soda Pop

John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world. John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers. Galcos also acts as a distributor for restaurants and bars along the West Coast, spreading the gospel of soda made with cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup if John can avoid it).
