Los Angeles / Street

Grocery-store carts and trash litter [Ballona Creek], joined by flotillas of foam-plastic cups after rainstorms. — Jane Engle, Los Angeles Times

Los Angeles / Architecture

Towers built by one person, impressive!

Los Angeles / Street Food

Amazing street taco stand on Centinela and Venice blvd. The staffs are always energetic and friendly. Tacos are super delicious. Recommend lengua, tripe and cactus !

Los Angeles / Park

A nice way to combine a beach walk and a mountain hike. The hike's elevation will offer a great view of the PCH highway.

Los Angeles / Architecture

Soak up some Dwell homes and Abbot Kinney lifestyle

Tokyo / Street Food

If you are into "Midnight Diner"-esque night experience but not into a crowded Shinjuku scale, then this is a good alternative. Smaller and much more laid back.

Tokyo / Restaurant

Chasiu melts in your mouth, the stock soup is full body and yet quite light. Not greasy like Tonkotsu style. One of the best Tokyo style (shoyu-based) ramen in our opinion.

Tokyo / Park

Serene, calm, intimate park

Tokyo / Restaurant

Casual sushi bar in Kichijoji Harmonica Yokocho. Lunch special: 1,000 yen for an omakase sushi plate.

Tokyo / Library

Great place to get your work done, it's a library with nice interior space.

Tokyo / Shop

Sailosaibin is tucked away on Kannon Street, a 3-minute walk away from Sasazuka Station on the western side of Tokyo. The shop is situated next to a duck-filled Tamagawa waterway and the neighborhood park adjacent bears sedentary housecats. The scenery here is nostalgic and peaceful, nearly hidden next to bustling Sasazuka. It’s a space for us to indulge our loves — fashion for Yuki and books for Ian. The clothing is a mix of things we have designed and produced, as well as one-of-a-kind handmade pieces filled with other designers’ thoughts and sensibilities. Our accessories and zakka are distinctive and idiosyncratic — objet that evoke mystery and humor. We carry a range of new, used, and antiquarian books that relate to design, art, photography, and culture.

Los Angeles / Artist

Matthew Brandt (b. 1982, Los Angeles) received his BFA from Cooper Union in 2004 and MFA from the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2008. Interested in physicality, process and landscape, Brandt’s ability to stretch the readings of an image, multiplying them both physically and conceptually, speaks directly to his interest in how images loom and meanings shift within a shared visual history. His work is the clever manifestation of a photographic alchemist, satisfying the urge for the tangible, and grounding us in the present. Brandt’s precocious talent has landed him in the permanent collections of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), the Armand Hammer Museum (Los Angeles) and the Elton John Collection. He currently lives and works in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles / Photographer

Food and still life photographer.

Los Angeles / Artist

Los Angeles-based artist Eric Yahnker seems to have a very odd and dark sense of humour which is reflected in almost all of his works of art. His mixed media and collage masterpieces combine traditional and classic images with some twisted humor and caustic wit. He received his B.F.A. in animation from the California Institute Of Arts and studied journalism at University of Southern California. Eric Yahnker lives and work in Los Angeles, California.
