RANDOM SNAPSHOTS | NYFW A/W 2012
Things here at thesigother have been a bit quiet lately for two reasons: first, I’ve been blogging over at wearethemarket.com for the past two weeks, and second, New York Fashion Week is in full swing, which means I’ve (gladly) been spending less time in front of the computer and more time in front of beautiful … Read more

PHOTOS | POP UP FLEA 2011
I’ll admit, I went to the Pop Up Flea this weekend with full intentions of doing an overly ambitious, grandiose photo essay. Instead I showed up post-Sierra Nevada and a slice (courtesy Artichoke pizza), and ended up shooting the shit with some of my favorite American craftsmen, bloggers and people. This of course meant photos took a … Read more
PHOTOS | TWO WEEKS OF DETAILS
Two weeks ago I bought my first real camera in about a decade. It’s a Pentax K20D, sold to me by one Mr. Liam Gaws. I am thrilled to have it. I had been feeling ill equipped for too long – every day seeing things I wanted to capture for this very space, and with … Read more

A friend of mine recently sent me a link to this absolutely spectacular set of photos compiled by the Denver Post. The collection is from an exhibit by the library of congress. “These Images”, they say, “are by photographers of the Farm Security Administration/Office of War Information, [and] are some of the only color photographs … Read more
BLOG | THINGS ORGANIZED NEATLY
The concept is simple: Photographs of things organized neatly. Although not particularly Man focused, it does conjure the beauty of deliberateness, structure, simplicity and variety which are, perhaps not so surprisingly, the most noble qualities of Menswear. - M Link: thingsorganizedneatly.tumblr.com Just a few more photos after the jump.
