“If future generations are to remember us with gratitude rather than contempt, we must leave them something more than the miracles of technology. We must leave them a glimpse of the world as it was in the beginning, not just after we got through with it.“ 

Happy 99th Year to the National Park Service!

Adventures in the Oceanic Life of @morganmaassen

To see more photos from Morgan Maassen’s adventures with the world’s best surfers, follow @morganmaassen on Instagram.

“Curiosity and the unknown are the driving forces of my life. I’m kept up at night by the places I have yet to visit,” says 24-year-old photographer and filmmaker Morgan Maassen (@morganmaassen). Growing up on the California coast in Santa Barbara, the other major influence on Morgan is his love for the ocean. He and his brother were raised on beaches and boats and learned to surf at an early age. “I’ll never forget the feeling of momentum, gliding across the water and feeling so free. Since then, it has become a lifelong passion, and is consistently the catalyst for so many endeavors and adventures.”

Although Morgan left home at age 19 to travel the world with his camera, he now photographs the biggest stars of the surfing industry, so he’s never far from his connections to the sea. “I am always learning from the ocean, and never feel confident in its midst — only curious and aware of it, and trying to move about it as freely as possible.”

A New Life for Nooks of Decay with @acommonname

To see more of Paige Smith’s crystalline-inspired works, follow @acommonname on Instagram.

Graphic designer-turned-multimedia artist Paige Smith (@acommonname) has lost count of her “urban geodes” that occupy the nooks and crannies of decay in places as far-flung as Bali, Madrid and Istanbul.

It all began three years ago in downtown Los Angeles, where Paige was living. “I started noticing the cracks and holes and decaying surfaces of our buildings, and that no one seemed to be paying attention to them,” she says. “The idea clicked to utilize these spaces and create something beautiful.”

Paige started by using a paper-cutting and folding technique called kirigami to create three-dimensional installations that look like geodesic formations. While she still prefers this method for her large-scale installations, her process has evolved to incorporate crystals of silicon-molded resin. The resulting works draw attention by juxtaposing inorganic formations that appear natural against the backdrop of a deteriorating man-made landscape.

Like the walls and buildings they inhabit, Paige’s works also decay over time. “I appreciate the mystery of their demise,” she says. “It’s a natural occurrence.”
