LET US ROAM || Atiba Jefferson

Atiba Jefferson is a professional photographer from Colorado Springs, CO. He discovered photography in high school and quickly developed a passion for the camera. Since skateboarding was his first love it naturally became his primary subject and the focus through the lens. His desire to capture the movement of skateboarding, precisely how he saw it, pushed him to move to California and chase his dream of becoming a professional photographer. Atiba now shoots everything from skateboarding to Lakers games to portraits of world-famous musicians and athletes. This short film gives a glimpse into the crazy life of Atiba and how he became a professional photographer.

Underground Hero || Love To Hate Me || Lamborghini Bosozoku Yakuza

For many of us, simply driving a Lamborghini is flashy enough, but for the yakuza in Tokyo's underground that's just not going to cut it. Japan-based director and cinematographer Luke Huxham has created a short film documenting the processes some of the yakuza put their cars through to make them stand out, wrapping them in custom vinyls, flashing lights, and strips of brightly coloured LEDs. Speaking about the film, Huxham says: 

"Style is personal, fun is universal. That's what you need to embrace before watching this film. Morohoshi-san is living between the lines, somewhere in that gray section. Mixing with the undesirables and modifying his Lamborghini in ways most of us would never dream of doing. His style is unique and questionable but one things for sure, he's too busy having fun to care what you think! And that's truly what makes him a cool character."

SHUT Skateboards || The Golden Skateboard

A couple of months back New York-based artist Matt Willet and SHUT Skateboards decided to work together on a completely gold-plated skateboard worth $15,000 USD (approx. £8,800). While many skateboarders slammed the project, suggesting it was commercialising skateboarding and promoting the idea that decks should be hung on walls as art, it was actually born through a pretty organic process. Matt's dad took a job at a Brooklyn technology company that makes gold plated components for NASA, making him think about plating non-traditional materials such as wood and urethane. Take a look at the making of video below to find out more.

Vienna Waits For You

Anna should have had a closer look at the fine-print of her rental contract - for the old Viennese apartment is a creature with never ending appetite, living off the youth of its residents.
