Urban Cycle Design

Castro M1 is a sleek little bike designed for urban cyclists. 
The minimalist bicycle is designed, manufactured, and assembled in Barcelona, it was imagined and built to meet the demanding lifestyle of urbanites, it is adaptable to a variety of people with different riding styles, and is quick and easy to store, the kind of bike you could just pick up and ride. 

Its slim stainless steel frame can be folded in no time to occupy only 23 cm (9 inches) of space, and can be stored anywhere. 

Into The Wild Expedition

We are completely in love with the Earthroamer XV go-anywhere, live anywhere vehicle.
Earthroamer are global leaders in Xpedition Vehicles, their spectacular XV-LT model line is currently the best-selling Xpedition Vehicle model in the world, and we can see why, they are in a class of their own. 

The company took a Ford F550 diesel and then overhaul it and transform it into a completely self sufficient expedition vehicle.
It features solar panels to generate electricity, hard wood cabinetry, leather seating, granite counters, convection microwave, forced air furnace, air-conditioning, king-size bed and a private bathroom with shower.

EarthRoamer XV-LTs are designed to accommodate from two to eight adventurers comfortably depending on the cab and camper body chosen.

Leica X-U

The new Leica X-U is simple unstoppable because it can go underwater, in pouring rain, tropical heat or a blizzard. 

The camera features a sturdy body that can withstand falls, sandstorms, and water (it can be submerged up to 49 feet for up to 60 minutes). This is the first underwater camera with an APS-C Sensor, and it features 16.5MP, a 23mm f1.7 ASPH lens, a 3-inch LCD screen, and is capable of shooting 1080p HD video at 30p.  

With these features it is pretty much unstoppable.

Unequal World

Photographers Capture the Gap Between the Rich and the Poor

The story of inequality is impossible to ignore these days. While we may think we understand wealth through television and tabloids, what we see represents only a drop in the bucket.

The book 1% Privilege in a Time of Global Inequality features 50 images from different photographers that show vast class disparities around the world.

 

Residents dig through a trash dump in Beaufort West, South Africa. The photo quietly suggests the contrast between the un-pictured people who created the waste and those who must survive by digging through it.

A man floats in a swimming pool atop Singapore's Marina Bay Sands Hotel, the city's financial district looming behind him. Little says that Singapore is a "tax haven"—a place "where it’s legal for major corporations to hide their money from the tax man."

A man collects scraps to sell in the dilapidated Packard Motor Car Company plant in Detroit, Michigan. Before the collapse of Detroit's manufacturing sector, a person like him might have been able to find work here as an employee, rather than as a scavenger.

This gated community in Henderson, Nevada, shows "the environmental effects of our consumption and of our privileged lifestyles," Little says. You can create an oasis in the desert "if you add a tremendous amount of money and chemicals and water."

The image of a Chrysler 300 being assembled "speaks to pressures on the middle class," Little says. "You're seeing sparks and a robot and a fancy new car, but what you're not seeing is humans."

A store advertises its going-out-of-business sale. "This is another image that, to me, speaks about the pressures of the middle class," Little says. "The sadness of being of a hardworking family who is playing by the rules but who still can't make it."
