Old Faithful Shop | Vancouver B.C.
I now have one more to add to my list of places to visit on my next trip out West (and a bit North to Vancouver, to be exact). I used to travel a couple times a year to Vancouver for work and really found it to be a great place. A perfect mix of [...]
Bodies In Urban Space | Willi Dorner
My friend Guney Oktar (and The First Few field reporter) happened upon a unique and thought-provoking street performance over this past weekend in the Beyoglu district in Istanbul. The traveling event is known as Bodies In Urban Space and is created by the Austrian choreographer, Willi Dorner. Mr. Dorner describes the work as a “temporary [...]
Perfect Imperfections | The Details
There is beauty that only Father Time and Mother Nature’s skillful hands can create. All the subtleties, imperfectly perfect nuances and odd imbalances that make natural things so interesting and beautiful.
Signing Your Work | Cast Iron Building Facades
For anyone who lives in or frequents Soho, New York City, buildings with cast iron facades are a familiar sight.

The towers have certainly served a valuable service over the many years by [...]
Chicago Structure
This past weekend was my first visit to the windy city of Chicago. To say the least, I am looking forward to going back – beautifully clean city, pleasant people, great food, and amazing architecture. No complaints from yours truly.
Street Art | Common Ground
Toronto No matter where I’ve gone, street art is always present and is most always interesting. Some is clearly created by more professional-level artists (like the one below- obviously the work of a master). Yes, I believe those are what you think they are.
Pinch | London Interior Design Studio
I came across the below folding stool one evening while perusing the many wishes and wants on Materialicious and kept the bookmark for later wishing. I just thought it was so well done- nice lines and color, and clearly well-designed and manufactured with care. Well, looking further into the people behind the stool was really [...]
Ponoko | Laser-Cut Design Manufacturing

Although Ponoko is based in Wellington New Zealand (with an outpost in California), by uploading one’s own product designs to the Ponoko [...]
