Our Story | Harry’s - Great Shave. Fair Price. Simple.
Harry’s is founded by one of the co-founders of Warby Parker and his BFF. Tired of being forced to choose between “over-priced, over-marketed razors that disrespect your intelligence, and low quality, cheap razors that disrespect your face,” they went back to basics: a great shave at a fair price.
Love the concept and design of the razors. Looking forward to getting one myself!

The Oyler House: Richard Neutra’s Desert Retreat - OFFICIAL TRAILER (by Mike Dorsey)
God, this house is beautiful. What’s even more amazing is the story behind it: the filmmaker’s grandfather, a government employee, wrote the infamous Richard Neutra to build him a house and the architect agreed!
Just goes to show you have nothing to lose if you ask — only great things to gain if they answer yes.

Love the way this was executed.

The Sell! Sell! Blog: The Era of Professionals
How someone can be professional in the field of advertising I have no idea. The best advertising comes from people who walk in every morning with no idea how they ended up there, and no idea how they came up with their last good idea. And if you do approach something in some organised, structured process, I guarantee the result will look like exactly that.
We got an email the other day from some young person who said their life’s ambition was to be an account manager. Fuck me. Poor bastards.

The Dream of White Space
What advice would you give to somebody reading this who thinks he or she can be a food stylist?
Don’t overthink it. Everything you see has the potential to show up in a picture. I mean, I’m sure that’s true for any kind of design or art. I think they really should know about the principles of design. They should know about space, they should know about proportion. Anyone can cook. Food bloggers are a dime a dozen with their little cameras and their depth of field and the select focus and the light coming in through the window. Dime a dozen. But to have vision, to actually have vision, it’s like having taste to have vision; you have to have a structure behind it. I remember [Irving] Penn’s thing: “You have to have a program.” But that program can be anything, from just keeping your eyes open when you’re walking down the street to really studying photography, and really studying… It’s how you filter it and how you deflect it through your hands. Filter it through your own sensibility. Just cook and take pictures and keep your eyes open and learn about proportion. Definitely learn about proportion. Learn about negative space. Risk leaving space free. There was a guy who used to letterpress for me and he taught me the saying “To give something the royal treatment.” You knwo where that came from?No.
In the old days, when paper was very expensive, when you would write a letter, you would write horizontally on the page. And when someone wrote back, they would write on the same paper in different ink or write perpendicular… and the only people who could afford to leave empty space were royalty. So leaving gratuitous empty space in an image or on a printed page is called “the royal treatment.” Risk leaving space open.The dream of white space.

Oysters, soft-shell crabs—it has to be a little bit of rice flour and get very crispy. That and crème brûlée. It’s all white food, isn’t that so funny? I dream of white space.- Food stylist Victoria Granof for Cherry Bombe Magazine
