Thobias Fäldt, a Swedish photographer lives and works in Gothenburg, Sweden.  He uses flash photography in the most bizarre, yet intriguing way. It’s up to the viewer to interpret what each photograph means to them because he chooses to keep it a mystery.

His brand new book, Year One, is expected to be released in spring of this year.

“None of the pictures from my series, ‘year one,’ are planned or staged—they’re always snapshots—but i try to frame the picture so you don’t know where it’s taken and you don’t get any geographic information; no answers are given.”

Quote borrowed from I heart photography’s interview with the artist.

Sammy Lin, a coffee shop in Vancouver takes its coffee with art. See how dressed up a latte can be! Playing with your food is so passé.

The Cut Crew knows how dreadful Mondays are. After a weekend of boozing and breathing, our necks are once again clenched by a tie, our bra straps can’t show and our most used phrase is “yes sir,” when we really mean something else.
Just remember, it could be worse…

Which way do your eyes see?

Here is a 30 second clip of our nearest and dearest Paul Rudd being his incredible self on Sesame Street. Making a large Earth costume seem so fashionable and comfortable, who wouldn’t want to go green?

Hold or Fold?

“Often what separates entrepreneurs who make it from those who don’t is a sense of personal passion and purpose. We tend to see characteristics like drive, tenacity, passion and creativity. They tie together into the ability and willingness to do whatever it takes to make the venture successful.”

Pink Magazine got up close and personal with the Cut Crew and wanted to know, so we told ‘em.

These album covers have been voted some of the worst. I beg to differ.

All I see is sweet.

The Rock wasn’t available. Neither was the Dogg.

If they can – what can’t they?

They forgot to budget for tie dye.

Happy Pre-Passover to all of my fellow celebrators.

Here’s a little tip for all of you that may come across the yeast-less bread at some point in your life. My personal preference is Nutella – or butter and cinnamon. Watch this video for more creative ways to spice up your flat bread.

Our West Coast Cut Crew Reps Emma Allison and Makenzie Lynd came all the way from Santa Barbara to donate some sun to the cold coast. Their first adventure in Brooklyn brought them to Williamsburg’s Nita Nita and the exclusive filming of British music maker Neil Halstead’s (of Slowdive and Mojave 3) music video “Elevenses.” A big thanks to Chris Piazza of Jigsaw Soul for hooking it up.

Cut Crew East: How’s New York treating you?

Emma Allison: There’s no beach around and that’s weird. But I love it. I like the city and change of pace. It’s refreshing. – culture shock is refreshing, anything new is refreshing. It’s a bit nipply but I like it here.

CCE: Rub it in. Brooklyn can be a scary place for new comers. How has it been treating you?

Makenzie Lynd: I feel like it’s more like we’re living here than visiting. We are doing every day sort of stuff. We’re living the Brooklyn life.

CCE: How do you feel about tattoos?

EA: I like them. They are hot.

CCE: So how was the video shoot today with Neil Halstead?

ML: Everyone was really welcoming and really nice. They wanted to get to know us.

EA: It was set in a cute garden, pretty windy. I like how it was supposed to be set in the summer and it was freezing out.

CCE: How was the music?

EA: I loved it. I know every word now.

ML: It was my first time hearing it and now I’m sick of it. But the music was relaxing.

Though the chalked up photo of US AIRWAYS Flight 1549 in a previous post seemed to be of a phony nature, I was able to get my hands on the real one.

Needless to say, it isn’t less of a brain buster. I present to you a head shot of the ordeal. Dubbed as “Miracle on the Hudson,” I now wonder if veteran-piolot “Sully” is really the one to thank. Are those men and women standing on water? I thought Jesus was the only one who knew how to do that.

It is quite clear after seeing both real and faux photos of the flight.

Don’t call it a come back – US AIRWAYS Flight 1549 attempts to overshadow Highlights for Children Magazine. We all remember the feature “What’s Wrong?” on each issue’s back cover.

We would like to give a big THANKS to our good friends at Uncle Magazine  for helping us get hammered the right way!

Friday night at Public Assembly, formally known as Galapagos, (we all remember Cut & Sewn’s epic Everyone Wants a Piece Party) brought good vibes, good people and excellent exclusive reading material.

Sponsored by New Rome, the night kicked off right with mix-masters Indian Giver. There wasn’t a single booty in the crowd that wasn’t shaking. Using a Girl-Talk minded mix, they spun their own original flavor with a very energetic guitarist, drummer and singer. Singing along with Bono takes cajones. Here’s a video quicky if you’re curious and feel free to download their sweet album, Taking It All Back: The Mixtape Album.

Closing the night was DJ Swaaan. He rocked the house, we danced until bedtime aka when our motor skills began to shut down.

So why were we there anyway? To celebrate Uncle Magazine’s launch of Issue II . To read it in full, click here.
In only a matter of days will you be able to get your hands on a hard copy. We assume you don’t want to have to look long for it, so here’s an answer to the savenger hunt.

If that’s not enough for you, put on Indian Giver’s Mixtape, load up the photo album of the night, and let the slideshow begin.
