Red Hook Really Speaks to Me

I don't know what it is about my friend Kristin, but every other time I am with her, I somehow spy cool graffiti that I just must capture on camera (case in point: she was with me when I took these photos just last month).

These latest pics are from a trip to the Brooklyn nabe of Red Hook over the long weekend. And, um, how awesome is the Hook's smarty-pants graffiti?

Preach it, Red Hook.

Carl Kleiner!

Confession #1: I am generally not a fan of blogs that just post and re-post content from other blogs. I like originality-ish! Creativity-ish! Something new-ish!

Confession #2: I totally discovered photographer Carl Kleiner this week on another site: Mirror Mirror. And as soon as I Googled his name, I realized that everyone from design*sponge to KRISATOMIC has covered him in the past few months.

But can you blame me for repurposing this inspiring work? It's so clean and cool. It feels new. And I always dig things that feel witty and weird and wonderful.

So, whatever. I'm That Blog today. But I have a feeling you'll like this stuff anyway. (-:
