MUSIC MORNING: FANG ISLAND

Brooklyn's Fang Island describe their aesthetic as "everyone high-fiving everyone." So it's appropriate that the band's website features a video of them jamming out with kindergartners. 'Fun' isn't just a word for them, it's embedded in the band's musical DNA.

FLICKR FRIDAY: MAIA AKIVA


This is a special Flickr Friday. Not only because we post it on thursday, but also because of the photographer that is featured. Meet Maia Akiva: 17 years old, from Michigan and most of the time she uses her Holga 135 to shoot her incredible pictures. She's special because we think that this young talent already has such a great eye for colours, vibes, forms and composition. In her pictures you will find youth, magic, nature and beauty.

FLICKR FRIDAY: EMMA ROSES

*updated* Friday the 13th: a not-so-lucky day for many of you, but for Emma it is! She has been chosen to shine for one week in our Flickr Friday section. She has a talent for communicating a certain vibe or feeling with her photo's. I was really impressed with her black and white series, so that's why I made a selection from those.

PHOTOGRAPHER JEN DAVIS

Jen Davis (born 1987 in Ohio) is that kind of photographer that isn't afraid of reality. Maybe she is, but she dares to confront herself with her own, literally. Especially with her series 'Self-portraits': as a viewer you sometimes could feel ashamed of what you see. Her photo's are to the point, full of emotion and sometimes harsh. Brilliant combination.

MUSIC MORNING: THE SMILES

This album is for those of you that are on the lookout for driving-, hanging in the park-, putting a way too tight surf suit on and getting ready to surf -music. The six-song Hermosa EP represents a major step forward for the young Southern California-based band The Smiles. The song titles and album cover point to sun, the beach, summer, and a good time.

PHOTOGRAPHER DANIEL RIBAR

This guy is about the radiant, bright images. He lives in Detroit; not really a radiant city, so he's really searching for his fresh pictures. Sometimes he finds an interesting color on a wall or a strong shadow that he can use. But for most of his pictures he makes sure to get at least one trip out of town every month to keep his photo's fresh.
