The optimist says, "We live in the best of all worlds."The pessimist says, "Yeah, I know."When it comes to the Creative Commons and photography, it's no surprise that the reactions to my blog entries on the subject seems to come from extremists one either one side or the other. Their common misunderstanding is that I feel the Creative Commons itself is flawed. True, I've stated that because photography is a common, everyday thing that it is a poor fit for the Creative Commons. But this is the pessimistic viewpoint of a more neutral reality of my message: that it's the byproduct of how itis assigned to photos, and how people generally acquire it in photos that creates most of its problems.
I have a thing for these brightly colored, rope-soled shoes known as espadrilles. I prefer them in bright sunshine colors (I have 4 pairs) paired with sear sucker shorts sans the socks. Espadrilles are the summer footwear of young classic men, cheap and come in zillions of colors. They’re also very light on the foot and comfortable, perfect for a leisure day at the beach or just hanging around somewhere. I remember my grandfather (Lolo Maning) telling me that they are in fact the sign of identity of the posh Spanish, known as Pijos". Espadrilles became the 'play shoes' for European style-makers like Coco Chanel in Biarritz , Picasso and Dali in the Costa Brava. If you want a pair of handmade espadrilles without traveling to Spain, visit + AC32 ( same owners of Firma), Tips and Toes nail salon and weekend bazaars all over the metro.

Gary Card by William Selden for Another Man Magazine. Looks like Andy Warhol and David Hockney just had a baby. I’m amazed with this editorial featuring Gary Card, a young London based set designer. It's a perfect mix between the artist and his work. I need a new pad with an extra space for my canvas, easel and books.

Paul Smith Swirled Isobel Handbag sighting! A handbag of this size with a pattern like this walks a fine line between cute and kitschy, so it all depends on the owner’s outfit. It’s a bit psychedelic for most people, but that’s just part of its charm.Bag Owner : Margaret Tipton

Elaine of Paul Smith Manila and Bag Designer Joanne. I have never seen anyone pull of the drowned 80's look ( Full printed top) so flawlessly. 
Bag: Fred Perry Canvas everyday bag. This simple canvas bag is large enough to hold my notebooks, magazines, camera and even an extra shirt when necessary.

I thought she was wearing a nice linen top with frills and fabric flowers but quickly realized they were perfectly knitted vintage bohemian top. Joy looks so natural ,comfortable and stylish! This is what beauty is all about, not who can cover themselves in the greatest number of designer labels.

Fantastic fun vintage chic! The contrast of her quircky look with the more subdued background works perfectly.
I know, rationally, that my gigantic feet and calves are just swollen, but damn, they look hideous. At least in flip-flops. I'm thinking my friends and cousins might not be able to stand the horror either.

Today, for instance, I taught someone how to correctly pronounce my last name. Yes, you heard that correctly. People have probably been pronouncing our cumbersomely weird French sounding last name ( It is Bu-coy not booh-coy) incorrectly all these years.
