BR4DSH4W

When I was 4 years old, my mother sat me down with a Chinese brush painting kit. And while many other children might have painted a face, truck, or dinosaur... I drew a number 4. This is my first memory of passion for typography, art, and more specifically graphic design.

BR4DSH4W is dedicated to inspiration that stems from that moment.

In case anyone is interested, I ripped the audio from Jimmy Fallon’s recent Bob Marley Week and posted the MP3s on my server (along with this quick coverart I designed). Audio quality isn’t the greatest—and I didn’t spend much time editing the tracks—but it’s enough to get the idea and thoroughly enjoy. Some great classics, by some great artists: Ziggy Marley Interview Ziggy Marley “Get Up, Stand Up” Chris Cornell “Redemption Song (Acoustic)” Jennifer Hudson “No Woman, No Cry ft. The Roots” Jakob Dylan “I Shot The Sherrif ft. The Roots” Lauren Hill “Could You Be Loved” Lauren Hill “Chances Are” The Roots “Them Belly Full” Lenny Kravitz “Roots Rock Reggae ft. The Roots” Enjoy responsibly. —> DOWNLOAD

Di4LOGUE: 4 Questions for My Lensman

  • BR4DSH4W: WHAT ARE YOU IMPRESSED WITH?
  • Meeting a person with a solid passion, firm conviction, and unstoppable dedication and passion for their craft.
  • BR4DSH4W: WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION?
  • My inspiration is triggered simply by opening my eyes. My neighbors, my peers, my colleagues, my family, my competition, my heros.
  • BR4DSH4W: WHO ARE YOU LISTENING TO?
  • Manu Chao Radio (Pandora) and that hungry beast inside me.

  • BIOGR4PHY: Trevor Traynor is the hardest working man in photo-business. Whenever I end a day exhausted from work, I find his next post about flying to an exotic location for a photo shoot or behind-the-scenes video featuring a veteran star of industry; and realize that I should stop complaining and get back to work.

Anatomy of a fake quotation

According to Megan McArdle writing for The Atlantic, a portion of yesterday’s quote (below) is incorrect. You can read her full explaination here, but to summarize: an English teacher named Jessica Dovey originally posted a comment (the first sentence) followed by the MLK, Jr. quote on her Facebook page. Somehow the quotation marks were stripped from the entire piece after it started getting traction across the internet, and the entire paragraph began to be attributed to Martin Luther King, Jr.

I have decided to leave the entire quote up as it was posted, because the sentiment still rings true for me—and has helped me to try and understand the mixed feelings I am experiencing. Thank you for understanding.

Solar Keys “Okinawa”

The opening track off a wonderful ambient album El Lanzón (available free online) — full of melancholy, reflection, and inspiration. It seems very appropriate at this particular moment.

“ I will mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate, only love can do that. Martin Luther King Jr.
