No, this isn’t some perverted joke about a rabbi and a Catholic priest. Rather, this is how I spent my Friday last week. Gilberto + Doc Johnson’s North Hollywood factory + Polaroid camera + a sordid imagination = Pure silicone-composite magic.

Two of my personal favorite cameras to use together as one! I cant wait to try this system out next year (ordering a Holgaroid as I type this post). A Holgaroid is a special kind of Holga hack. It involves replacing the usual Holga back with a Polaroid back, which lets you use Polaroid peel-apart [...]

When I think about this week’s’ The ISH’ with STEVE AOKI & SCHWASSANOVA, one phrase comes to mind: drunkenly mesmerizing! The entire bar was littered with waiters and waitresses serving free food and alcohol — all of course wearing Samsung gear — not to mention Samsung lights and logos everywhere! They had people even standing [...]

Spent most of last night with my family but was able to escape later on in the evening and head out to The Roger Room. The place reminded me a little of Apotheke in NYC with the speakeasy dark ambiance, and the concoction type drinks. Although the bar had a strict no flash policy when [...]

After buying my new Canon 7D on Wednesday I flew out to LA for Thanksgiving weekend. Just before the night got started we stopped by Ralphs and grabbed a bottle of Jack before we headed to Cobras and Matadors which is BYOB. After dinner we hopped into a cab and almost got killed when our [...]

This [Polaroid Wednesday] is close to my heart because the photographer is none other than my fourteen year old sister, aka ‘Little Miss Gilberto.’ I would like to say that she is similar to me in a lot of ways, but I can’t. Why? Because she is wayyyyyy cooler. She is a budding photographer/vintage camera [...]

This old photo deserves some serious attention. It’s a picture of my uncle (who happens to also be Shok’s dad) and was taken at LAX in the 1960’s. Look at the man’s style. Right out of GQ. He was fresh off the boat too…can you believe it? The hat, the sunglasses, the cuff-links — the rings! [...]

This [Music Friday] is sort of a sad one. This is a tribute mix to DJ AM my boy DJ Grant Shapiro made. I remember back in the day Shapiro would tell me about his outings with DJ AM and Primo in Las Vegas (picture below). DJ AM will be missed as he was an inspiration and [...]

I recently inherited one of these in black from my older sister. Who would have thought that a camera which weighs about 2 lb’s would take such fantastic photos. Pick one up at Sammy’s camera on Fairfax for about $50….or at your local Urban Outfitters. They come with or without a flash, and you don’t [...]

Do yourselves a favor and take a look, and a listen to this talented young man, Mayer Hawthorne. His sound is sexy and soulful, and will take you back to the good-old-days of Motown. His style rocks a mix of 60’s retro and 80’s hip-hop. And his music isn’t far off from that either. Check [...]

Being in London for less than 24 hours last week made it difficult to find a place to both eat and chill at the same time. Eventually the team decided on hitting up Sketch in Mayfair. The decor was out-of-this-world weird. Think True Blood meets Star Trek. The toilets were in self contained domes, and the [...]
