Painted Palms

Not writing much about music ever, but felt compelled to share new music from SFs Painted Palms. I checked up on Butterfly Bones, a band that I enjoyed around SF, and found out that they have evolved into Painted Palms. Looks like they recently got some love from Kevin Barnes and just released a new EP out on Polyvinyl records. Their song "Click", which I dig a ton, is streaming at consequence of sound. Side note, if you ever visted me when I lived in SF, the EP album cover is a photo of my old back yard. It's a crazy small world. –Tim

PANACEA book release at MUA–photos

Thanks to everyone that came out last Friday to MUA Oakland for our PANACEA book release and photo show. Such a fun night. Sold some books, some photos, and had a great night out with friends. Also, a big thank you to everyone that participated in the book and show! It really came out great. Our box of books is getting slim, If you'd still like to pick one up, head to the zines section. —Tim

Thanks to our host, MUA, for inviting us to show photos and sell our book.

Available for purchase online. —Over the last year, I’ve been working with Elias Carlson, who runs awesome blog, Ladder to the Stars. Early on, we found that exploring nature was a common thread in our photography. We discussed our need to get outside and take photos, and we decided to make a publication about it.

We knew that we wanted to publish a collaborative book featuring photographers that we both respected and that shared this common theme. We worked on the idea of the “need” to get outdoors and found a definition that we felt summed up this idea; “PANACEA” which is defined as “a solution or remedy for all difficulties or diseases.” The ring to it was nice, but the definition really hit home for us, as it summed up the feeling that we both had: Exploring nature as a cure.
