nixon’s first addition to the world of personal acoustics. the line of three models; the wire, the nomadic and the master blaster wont be easy to find. as far as we know these are just prototypes. still, with this kind of well designed beauty it would be a sin not to produce it for the masses and end the white cable trend of the ipod. by kv

i think robert polidori is my all time favorite photographer and i am reminded of this every time i see his work. i am crazy for this new book compiling all of his versailles work, although i don’t know if it’s a reprint or a rework of his first book. of course it’s published by steidl, and of course it’s a treat ($120) but whatever “quand on aime on ne compte pas“ by pp’
