new tunes
. . . . . . . .
photos from a few sundays ago, watching the italian grand prix with italian-themed food & drinks at charlotte and matt’s place. such a fun day. i shot these with 100-speed black and white film (fuji neopan, acros 100), a gift from my friend steph. high contrast, but i like them. i’m still getting the hang of shooting B&W…
. . . . . . . .
today, i’m sharing a mix of autumn tunes. this is a quirky bunch of songs that i’m listening to and enjoying. i hope you do, too.

+ the pact / i’ll be your fever (villagers)
i’m signing off here until next week – have a super weekend.
you have a super weekend too!
i like your bw-pictures!
i like the high contrast. makes me want to pick up some black and white film. can’t wait to listen to your mix.
that reminds me i need to water the plants! wicked shots ferry, i really like the contrast. see you soon for japan/brazil/abu dhabi.
Awesome, Brian. I’ve been waiting to see what you’d do with it. And of course, you’ve done magic.
can’t wait to listen to the new mix.
beautiful b&ws…great mood to them.
Yes! A new mix!
I absolutely LOVE your view…I’m hooked! What kind of camera do you use? And do you regularly use any techniques with your camera or software like Photoshop?
your b/w shots are just so good.
happy weekend.
Looking forward to listening to the music – thanks! Happy travels (hope that cab got you to the airport after all).
my autumn mix will definitely include sharon van etten — happy to see her here and on threading in the choirs. looking forward to listening to the mix. oh, and nice photos, as always.
don’t apologize for hi-con. hi-con rocks.
This playlist is wonderful.
PS. Have a good weekend yourself. :)
your pictures never disappoint!
such a good play list. tallest man on earth for the win.
have you ever heard of hey rosetta? you may enjoy them.
New to this blog. Love your photos—especially the one of the guy smoking in the garden. Stunning.
I love the high-contrast – it works especially well on that first one, it looks really special.
Have a good weekend too!
Oh I am thrilled you’ve made a new mix. Your music taste, like your photos, is so aesthetically pleasing to me :)
Dirty Beaches!
I’m fan!
thanks for sharing!
I miss black and white film, medium grade is the best and the slower the shutter speed the better for milky blacks. You’ll enjoy it.
Your Leila’s Shop had me thinking how lucky you are to be in The States with such a charming neighbourhood cafe – then you said it was in London – Yey, that’s my Sunday morning sorted.
GREAT playlist. Ray LaMontagne’s new album is perfection.
Love the black and white. Really beautiful.
i. love. your. photos. oh- and great new mix.
i love the full ashtray picture. there is so much intensity in every single photo.
tracklist is awesome! save yourself!
fall can begin!
the only unfortunate thing about this mix is the limit 8tracks put on how many times i can listen to it consecutively.
oh brian……a little jealous, in a way. you always seem to be having a great time with friends. and i love the b/w photos. thanks for the daily repast……
your new mix is awesome (especially first two songs, i’m amazed), i’d also add david bowie ~ heroes, it’d fit great
like someone here wrote, autumn can finally begin, although i used to hate it
have a nice evening, brian
I got to your blog through “Orangette.”
What lovely pictures you make…a treasure to be able to see them!
merci pour la music !
beautiful set!! I love the black and white. I especially love the top photo and the second to last.
Your black and white photos look awesome! I really love black and white photos there is just something about them that makes me smile :)
NICE! black and white photos highlight the atmosphere really well. lovely! :)
This B&W looks great, i love the contrast
love your mix
& that
first
photo.
Beautiful shots, Brian.
Hope you are hanging in there this week.
I’ve had a great time roaming around your blog! Just had to leave one last comment re black and white. I watched an Alfred Hitchcock film this weekend. Strangers on a Train.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strangers_on_a_Train_%28film%29
I was MARVELLING at the b/w cinematography. So much more difficult to do than colour. Composition and light. Discovered that it had been nominated for Academy Award for the cinematography. Worth a watch. Those old film guys were amazing!
