Don't you wish yours was this cool?
It has been a long time since I have photographed something just for the sake of photographing it, for the love of photography, for the way it looks in that moment, for me. It has also been a very long time since I have loved anything that has come from my camera. I love this photo. It makes me remember why I love photography.
Having beautiful friends doing beautiful things makes life absolutely beautiful!
Melisa (a beautiful friend) of Meesah(her beautiful thing!) will be launching her line of "earth friendly adornment" at 39 Hotel this Thursday the 20th of November! So come join in and celebrate the beautiful things in life this Thursday!

Hi Ladies and Lads,
Sorry this took a few days to get up, it seems I have spent more time on airplanes in the last 5 days than I have on the ground... so finally...
The Dirty Laundry Show opened this weekend and if you have not gone down to Nuuanu Gallery yet to check it out, get down there before all of the custom wearable artwork is gone... snag yourself one... or two.. we did!
Here are some fun shots from the opening!

You are invited to the gallery opening, First Friday (September 5):
September 4-20, 2008
Dirty Laundry is an exhibition devoted to the concept of potential.
Using stains as an integral part of the design and fashion of a t-shirt, the show seeks
to shift perceptions that something (or someone, for that matter) can be ruined.
Each artist has been given 6 shirts to stain using a medium of their choice.
After "ruining" each shirt, the artist creates a custom design that works with the shape, size and medium of the stain.
Those designs are hand-printed onto the shirts, thus making the stain an integral part of the apparel's fashion.

A friend of mine told me yesterday that she doesn't care about the rules, she threw the "rules" out, started her own magazine and, 6 months later is a smashing success. Quoting Marc Jacobs she says, "I don't follow any rules because like any other form of art, fashion is subjective." So, in honor of her devotion and success and because her 4th issue is hitting news stands today here is a little preview!
Bisou,
Daeja
