Lazy Eye - The Photography of Regina Belmonte
viva Regina! - by chichi
All photos taken by Regina Belmonte.
Composed. An adjective that will sum up the number of emotions that I can not relay into pulse - driven type written words as I stare with my jaw dropped, my eyelids, slightly stretched bigger. The stimulus for this reaction is of course the photographs you see above taken by
Regina Belmonte.
Don't think that as I used the adjective Composed that I just used it as per it's convenience. Rather, let me explain to you why I used the word or at least the idea of the word and at the same time, i may be relieved of my lack of articulation.
To be composed means serenely self-possessed and free from agitation especially in times of stress. The same can be said about the photos above. Each one is a powerfully controlled and peaceful capture of the stressful world that surrounds her. Stress releases powerful neurochemicals and hormones that prepare us for action (to fight or flee). If we don't take action, the stress response can lead to health problems. But Regina does neither. She neither fights or flees for moments that will catch her eye. She settles and captures the stimulant of stress and she is able to express it through her photography and makes it look like the most serene thing. This captured serenity seems to not only be external but also internal as well, as Ms Regina is one of the most pleasant people I've met. Now you see a balance between and relevance between the work and the artist.
It seems mathematical in such a way, an equation to capture these images that I will never understand. But what I do understand is the beauty and grace in them.
One has been a secret fan of her work since my current girlfriend showed her tumblr (VivatRegina) to me.
I'm listening to Silversun Pickups' Lazy Eye as I am writing this and I swear to God, This song best soundtracks Regina's photos.
Now I have three adjectives based on this song that I wish to add to "composed":
raw, nostalgic and epic.
Now that's three and that's the magic number.

Lego and Muji Collaborates
The legendary block by block / brick by brick brand , Lego has recently collaborated on a set with minimalist product makers Muji. This set plays on a person's imagination and creativity rather than forcing the person to play with the obviously capital driven and commercialized Batman or Indiana Jones play sets.
Muji has provided different color papers and a hole puncher to combine with the legendary Lego blocks. Now, people are left to actually play with their toys with a almost limitless capabilities. Ever since I could remember, I had been playing with Lego. And anytime that is used in an innovative way , I am dealt with a nostalgic but happy feeling.
This move brings Lego back to it's original form of suggesting creativity rather than imposing brands upon you. I'm glad to see Lego back on it's peg leg. To see more pics click here .

As I Switch My Foot Work
As I Switch My Foot Work | A BlackBook Design and Del Prado Brothers MixtapeClick Here To Download For FREE
As the month of November ends, I feel as though life is moving faster. Things are improving. And although the pace is changing I feel as though it's better like this than ever.The goal is to change, change and evolve.
I suggest you listen through the whole of it as with the concept of a mixtape.
Here's the tracklist:
1. In A Little Spanish Town- Lester Young
2. Ad Lib Blues- Lester Young with The Oscar Peterson Trio
3. Blue Rondo a la Turk- Dave Brubeck
4. Salt Peanuts- Dizzy Gillespie
5. Captain Marvel- Stan Getz
6. Crazy Chords- Stan Getz
7. Blue In Green- Miles Davis
8. Israel- Miles Davis
9. To Impress The Empress- Scott Matelic
10. Under The Hood- Specifics
11. Notice- Smith
12. Creeper- DJ Deckstream Feat. Junji Chiba
13. Sun Fran to Tokyo- King Most
14. samura's optic- CYNE
15. Adhara- Fat Jon
16. DROME produced by Himuki- Himuki
17. Spartacus- Ino Hidefumi
18. Midnight At The Oasis- Ino Hidefumi
19. Marie Aël- Hadrien Feraud
20. Shall We Love ?- Hadrien Feraud
21. Lila's Dance- Mahavishnu Orchestra
With this thought I collaborated with my friends the Del Prado Brothers (it just sounds awesome), specifically Julio Del Prado on this mixtape (NUMBER 4). This is a tribute to all those who strive to improve...to those who work hard. This mixtape is heavy with JAZZ. . . all kinds of jazz. As with the theme, it is an ode to the legend of the music and it's progression is a metaphor for change, growth or improvement
(which ever way you want to put it).
It's about time you switch your foot work.
Thank you again to the little big Del Prado.

Postlerferguson - Weapons Of Mass Creation
It's a busy week ahead of me.. These videos ought to keep me inspired. Hope you all be inspired too. Enjoy!
Thank you to the people of Gestalten.tv for sending me this video!
I haven't seen many dreamers around lately. I think dreamers have been washed away by the currents of time and the repetition of routines. A dreamer has been over - shadowed by the problems of the world. It's slowly being flushed down by every generation, growing old - and slowly relying on survival rather than imagination. What is survival? Survival is a noun. Survival is the habit of being. Go ahead and argue with me, a dream is not reality. I say make it reality. Make it what it should be. I say dream with bright colors and dream with a themed setting like a movie. Dream in black and white and see things clearly. But when awake, dream of dreams that can be reality. I talk about survival, and i talk about dreaming. But what about the survival of dreaming? They say to dream is dead. No one talks about it so they assume that it is forgotten. Well it it's been forgotten. No one teaches it so they think that it isn't real.
Everyday, I meet new people and everyday I talk to people I already know. Still they make me dream. Dreamers have been blotted out. I want to change all that. I hope you do too. . Change it by dreaming. Dreaming everyday. Dreaming with our hands and dreaming with our minds. There are changes in our world everyday...scientific findings and daily occurrences that ultimately lead to the most exciting time in the existence of our planet. This is absolutely the most exciting time to be alive. So whatever you do, don't be bored. Ever. Dream.

Gaslamp Killer Bulldozes With Dubplate's 1st Year Anniversary
The Mother Fucking Gaslamp Killer is coming to town in a few days.
If you don't know who he is, Gas Lamp Killer is a part of the Low End Theory
and has worked together with Shepard Farey in numerous events and promotions. Andoften plays with Flying Lotus.
He is a MONSTER when he plays I tell you...
And I quote my homie Mestizo: "You're all in for a ride man, that guy will never play anything commercial, nor will he play anything that he does not like."
He is a shaman on the tables and he exudes the energy and not just controls it.
Come on down people!
