Roman & Williams
Watching this wonderful video got me thinking- Why do I enjoy cherishing such a genre of documents? Well after a moment of deep breathing and thinking, I came up with some reasons – My family is somewhat from an artistic background. My great father was a musician & producer, my father is an architect engineer and my mother used to be a painter. I don’t know but I guess I was exposed to many of artistic environment at a young age without even knowing it.. which then lead me into a deep interests in classical music, impressionist artists, architects and photography. When I was a teenager, I never thought I would be someone who listens to 200 years old music and stares at an old building with an admirable eyes … well surely I was wrong .

travel smart : Booq mamba saddle
Since I will be traveling with my laptop in Europe, I think it is necessary to have a bag that works all around. My Filson is wonderful but practicality wise, Booq bag wins. I don’t know but I’ve been obsessed with bags lately … I will purchase this one as soon as I get my laptop .
Filson briefcase
Finally got my Filson briefcase. My first impression – this thing will last forever !
It can fit up to 17 inch laptop in the center pocket and 15 on the side. I was able to fit my 15 inch laptop and Canon 5D mounted on 24-70mm lens with no problem.
Might As Well Have the BEST !
Leica M9
I know I don’t need this new $7000 Leica M9. I can do everything that the M9 can pull with my current camera. However, the portability and the simplicity of the Leica is fatally irresistible.
Filson travel luggage
I’ve been searching for a perfect travelers camera/laptop bag, I think I have found one finally …
This particular handsome Filson has been traveling with a guy for 15 years, wonderfully broke in .
Fjällräven
“Fjällräven began 50 years ago in Sweden making a framed backpack design that carried loads comfortably. This innovation helped make the outdoors accessible to a whole new generation of people and launched a movement to protect wild places”
BillyKirk
“Brothers Chris and Kirk Bray have been producing leather goods for the last ten years. They launched Billykirk from Los Angeles in 1999, learning their craft from a third generation leather maker. A simple leather strap kick started the business, a decade later their collection has flourished into other offerings that consists of bags, belts, shoes, wallets, hats and other accessories. Since expanding and moving their operation to the East, they’ve employed a group of Amish leather makers to produce much of their line, while wrapping up production in their studio. We visited the brothers over the summer to observe their operation first hand and to discover the beauty behind the process.”

Billykirk NO.92
finally ordered my billykirk wallet
“Our hand-stitched card/cash cases are one of our most popular items and one of our most cherished designs. Top quality waxed cording and German Prym snaps. They only get better with age. Created in response to the lack of smaller wallets on the market and the fact that we both put our wallets in our front pockets. One interior slot and one outside slot. Hand-oiled. Dull nickel silver hardware. 3″ x 4.” Made in the USA.”
Stowa- Airman Original
“The watch houses a hand wound Unitas 6497 movement with blued screws, screw balance, a swan neck regulator (optional) and a Côte de Genève decorative pattern (“Geneva Stripes”) that can be seen through the sapphire crystal display back. The casing is offered in a matt finish and the black or brown leather strap is fitted with a stainless steel STOWA buckle.”
