Here in Vancouver we have an area called the downtown eastside—more specifically we have a street called east Hastings. This is what it’s like… (click “read more” and press play on the song)

So I’m still out of town right now and somehow am surviving without internet. I won’t tell you where I am but I can tell you that it’s amazingly boring out here and there’s nothing to see. Luckily (or hopefully), that isn’t the case for you… and even more so because of this post.
Below is a selection of eye-candy that is all straight-up jacked from one of Vancouver’s best blogs by far: www.Booooooom.com. Full credit goes to Jeff Hamada for these finds (except for the Japanese one above) so please visit his site and click on Art to see more. And obviously, click “read more” to view the rest of the post…

I’m out of town but I’ve set up some scheduled posts to automatically publish while I’m gone and this is one of them. Enjoy below an amazing feat of animation. The creators made this out of hundreds of still photos (I assume) and countless hours of… “graffiti vandalism.” Truly an innovative idea and the result is a really sweet visual journey along the streets of Buenos Airies.

Chill sunday afternoon painting.. 20 feet in the air on an aladdin lift, by one of Vancouver’s graffiti forefathers: Dedos, of AA Crew.
Sorry, I didn’t get an interview or anything. I’m not an investigative journalist—I just blog! I mean, I got some photos, what else do you want from me?? Just playin’ … I probably would have made the effort to chat with him and ask a few questions but as you can see, he was busy.. and high up in the air. He couldn’t even really hear me the first two times I asked him if it was cool that I took the photo above. Check out the rest of the photos from today after the jump…
A new feature on the LAF, this series will try to capture and encompass the essence of a broad topic with the use of only a few simple images. In this edition, I attempt to share with you the childhood experiences of my entire generation (with a bit of a personal touch)—sorry, I couldn’t find any pictures of kids playing cops and robbers.
I encourage y’all to submit your own in the near future. Click ‘Read More’ and enjoy!
Enjoy the visuals: some nice shots from in and around Vancouver by Ian Buchko. (Recently featured in the Cheaper Show)

…Is out now:
Check out this “experimental photography” by Maleonn, who only 4 years ago was a shanghai-based advertising director. I find the richness of colours, contrasted with the aged photograph look that he goes for, is really eye-catching. And like a good movie, his photos manage to evoke some sort of emotion despite them being completely staged and planned out. (Probably because he depicts scenarios that make people wonder what the hell is going on…)
You have to love the fact that this guy went from being completely corporate to completely creative. He used to wear a suit and perform monotonous tasks and now he’s out there dressing people up in crazy outfits, spreading carrots on floors and buying oldschool flying machines just to get the perfect shot. Seriously though. You’ll see what I mean after the jump.

I just saw an advanced screening of this movie and it’s as if..Superbad and Half Baked got together and made babies—really hilarious, awesome, non-stop laughs type babies. I honestly give it four stars, even despite all the bro-mance between the two main characters (like romance except between bros. get it? “haha”). Anyways, it comes out on Wednesday (August 6th) so watch it some time and check out the preview/trailer below:
