Above some friends I made on the island of Mauritius earlier this month. Next time you are there look for an old bike with an AVS sticker on it. There might be a few. Until then , say a prayer for all the dogs&cats running loose on that beautiful island.

I'm having some fun with my latest iPhone camera app called the Hipstamatic. Expect to see more of these -- and who knows, maybe even a Zine Five? It's also a good time to mention that I only have 33 copies left of Zine 4 left. You can still Buy here. If you happen to be in Austin during SXSW, Yard Dog will be selling them. Above: Bucks&Daisy on their afternoon walk.

LoFi

Check out the music video that Tom Denolf and I made using 3 IPhones . If you dig the music, come check out the talented Kirk Thurmond tonight.
