Gener8ion Continues
Nothing really to say other than I still really love the Gener8ion Tumblr, even though I know nothing about who is behind it. Love the aesthetic.
Making Koya Bound
Craig recently shared a new essay that talks about the process he went through in putting out Koya Bound — as with all of his essays, it’s as informative as it is entertaining to read. I’d also point you to the latest edition of his Roden Explorers newsletter, in which he describes in detail what he experienced during a meditation retreat he attended earlier this year.
Purple Skies
I unfortunately don’t know who took these shots — I spotted them via this tweet — but I’m in love with the purple atmosphere.
Green Fukushima
Tetsuro Takehana is a photographer for the Asahi Shimbun who has gone back to Fukushima to capture the area as it gets enveloped by nature. There’s more to see in this Spoon & Tamago post.

Rapha Rides Tokyo
The always amazing Lee Basford is behind the fantastic video produced for the Tokyo stop of the “Rapha Rides” project (taking place in 20 cities around the world). Not only is it a beautiful look at taking in Tokyo by bike, it also features one of my design heroes (Groovisions). On the negative side, this really made me miss Tokyo, and especially being able to bike through the city on a daily basis. Via Canvas.
L’appel du vide
“L’appel du vide” a beautiful photography project by Lukasz Palka that offers up a rooftop view of Tokyo.
