it's only natural



Have I told you about Backyard Bill before? Probably, my memory is shot to shit. It's the only 'streetstyle' blog I read apart from Garance Dore and Turned Out. I think I might be the only person in the world who doesn't read The Sartorialist. Is that wrong? He just seems a bit smug. Anyway, I digress. I love the shots of Dani Griffiths that he just posted. They make me miss my green army anorak which is languishing in a cardboard box in some container somewhere. I like the music she likes too, and how she explains how it sounds.

What is your personal soundtrack at the moment?
Caetano Veloso. Kurt Vile! He's the best, magic stardust, or that moment after you press the snooze button and start to fall back asleep. Pink Skull , Ariel Pink, The Gun Club, Shaggy (boombastic), Atlas Sound, Syd Barrett, Yura Yura Teikoku.

Thanks for remind me about his blog. I really like the fact that he spends time with his subject and posts several photos... it's more meaningful than the single "spontaneous" street style photo.

Well done on Blackyard Bill and well done for NOT reading The Sartorialist - you are not the only person!

I've wanted to work on a similar project as well for Sydney. Trying to really understand Australian elegance or lack of it. And I think it's even more difficult when those that you would like to photograph wouldn't be as a willing participant. I've seen the blog ages ago and it's nice. And I always thought the best 'street-style' website was Helsinki Looks.

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who doesn't dig The Sartorialist.
