A rogue with an eye for salvage – and the ladies – Ray: A Life Underwater is an affectionate portrait of one man’s deep sea diving career, told through his extraordinary collection of marine artefacts.
Like a modern-day pirate, 75-year-old Ray Ives has been scouring the seabed for treasure
his whole life.
The former commercial diver has plundered the deep for over fifty years, bringing to the surface anything that glittered — even gold.
In a shipping container near the water, Ray tends his museum of cannon, bottles, bells, swords, portholes and diving gear.
He even still takes to the water in a 1900s diving suit.
A modern interpretation of the board tracking racing motorcycles of the 1920s, Derringer cycles capture the simple, pared-down, aggressiveness of early motorsport while delivering an intricate level of personalized customization. Like their owners, no two Derringer cycles are the same.
For the discerning rider, Derringer offers the opportunity to own a truly unique, one-of-a-kind motorbike that combines innovative engineering with a classic high-performance aesthetic.
Powered by a moto-hybrid drivetrain, Derringer cycles are built for our modern age. With superb fuel efficiency they have a range of 180 miles per gallon. The ultra-clean four-cycle powerplant also meets stringent CARB tier 3 emissions standards.
There are 250 different colours to choose from and every bike comes with hammered copper rivets and a hand-made leather saddle.
The estimated price is about $3500 but riding a Derringer cycle requires no motorcycle license.

Branding 10,000 Lakes is a project by Art Director & Designer Nicole Meyer.
Lake logos have a tendency to be, well, fairly ugly. This project was created to rethink what
they could be.

Shepard talks about the influence graffiti, skateboarding and punk rock had on his life and the ways it shaped his art career. Key moments such as a school trip to NY and the melding of styles by brands such as Shut Skateboards allowed him to develop his techniques. Look out for some classic 90′s skate footage as well.

Photographer and filmmaker Lyall Coburn captures a halcyon summer spent idling along the shimmering waters of Hawaii’s North Shore, a mecca for the surfing world and cult tropical getaway. Affectionately known as “The Country,” the bohemian outpost, located 30 miles north of Honolulu on Oahu Island, boasts a stretch of coast that plays home to some of the greatest waves on the planet, including the infamous Waimea Bay where in the winter they can climb to over 20 feet. “During the summer months local surfer kids hurl themselves off the rocks on the left hand side of the bay, attempting to recreate the sensation of that big winter drop,” says Coburn, a regular visitor to Oahu with his surfboard and camera. The film is an ode to the luxury of “Hawaiian time,” he explains. “No-one and nothing runs to a schedule on the North Shore. It’s a perfect summer idyll free of crowds and pretentious bikini beach strips.” Spotlighted by hit TV series Lost, the North Shore’s pristine beaches and world-class surf breaks feature an increasing number of luxurious vacation homes. While celebrities including Owen Wilson frequent the shore’s only plush resort hotel, Turtle Bay, the real Sunset Beach stars are surfers like John John Florence, the 18-year-old breakout talent from Hale’iwa, who has been touted by World Champion surfer Kelly Slater has as the next big thing. Here’s our list of the North Shore’s must-see spots.

Life on the Tracks: Central American Migration in Mexico
Thousands of undocumented Central American migrants journey across Mexico every year, risking their lives in the hope of reaching the United States. They come from countries such as Honduras, El Salvador and Guatemala, where free trade economic policies have devastated local economies forcing men and women to leave their homes in search of a better life in the United States and Canada.
The journey often begins by crossing into Mexican border states such as Chiapas and Tabasco, and continues by riding freight trains known as “the beast.” Train schedules are erratic, and migrants can spend anywhere from a couple of days to a couple of weeks waiting in train yards that have grown increasingly dangerous.
Many migrants are victims of robbery, kidnapping, rape and extortion along the train route. They are forced to pay off everyone from thieves and gang-members to immigration officials and police on a regular basis, facing dire consequences if they do not cooperate. Due to the Drug War and the importance of human trafficking in the narco-economy, brutal treatment of migrants is currently at an all time high.

This series is inspired partially by Todd McLellan’s Disassembly series.
Qi Wei says about this project:
“Exploded flowers which are images that show the radial symmetry of flowers, and also individual floral components.
The act of disassembly (I hesitate to use the term dissection because this series is not meant to be a scientific treatise) lays bare the various shapes and textures of the flowers, and what is interesting to me is how much more expanded some flowers can get when they are disassembled – the relative surface area to size of a rose is so much greater compared to a larger flower like the sunflower.”
