Our menu offers quality, freshness and affordability with an environmental and nutritional conscience (...) We use environmentally responsible products, and organic and/or local producers whenever possible. As avid surfers and ocean lovers, the seafood we choose is crucial. We always source our seafood in accordance with Ocean Wise and The David Suzuki Foundation recommendations (...) Our menu is inspired by our world travels, taking the Baja-style taco to another level.” said Tacofino’s offerings will include: Baja-style Fish Tacos, Burritos, Tortilla Soup, Tuna Ta-takos, and local seasonal specials such as Roasted Squash Tacos, Baja-style Trap-Caught Spot Prawn Tacos and Wild Mushroom Quesadillas.

Native Shoes. Vancouver.

... been seeing these guys on the streets of Toronto recently and enjoying them... might get me a pair.
"NATIVE was founded in Vancouver in 2009 to design, produce, and sell lightweight foam-injection molded-EVA shoes. This unique material the lightest and most comfortable available - molds to your feet, is antimicrobial and odor resistant. Inspired by classic, casual silhouettes and everything we’ve ever loved about shoe design, the NATIVE aesthetic results in shoes that are easy to wear and great to look at."

Las Cholitas.
High up in the Bolivian Andes Cholitas take part in Lucha Libre, a style of wrestling that began in Mexico. The Cholitas that participate in this wild sport are of Aymara decent and go toe to toe in their traditional clothing. The crowd goes absolutely wild as they enter the ring in their large colorful dresses and dark bowler hats. The fighting takes place in El Alto, which rests above La Paz at over 4,000 meters. Juan Mamami heads the wrestling group called “Los Titanes del Ring”, which includes men as well as the Cholitas. Mamami introduced the Cholitas about 7 years ago. Ever since they have been a big hit drawing hundreds of Bolivians every Sunday as well as a handful of tourists. It is truly amazing that these indigenous women have risen above the machista views of the Bolivian people to be super stars in freezing cold city of El Alto.

Training Session. Film by Christian Lalumière. Quebec.

“Through evocative gestures and movements, we discover five different athletes in training. What at first appears to be a simple training routine evolves into a ballet, where the athletes play the role of notes on a musical score. Together, they create a symphonic movement in which the notes interact — integrating rhythm, singular movements, and harmony in an intricate choreography." Produced by Emilie Heckmann and created in collaboration with choreographer Helene Blackburn & composer Nicolas Bernier, this project, written and directed by Christian Lalumière.

Kathy Halper's 'Facebook Embroidery'. Chicago.

Friend Me series.
"The images in this series began as Facebook photos of teens engaged in typical yet sometimes disturbing explorations of sex, alcohol, drugs and celebration. I then randomly paired them with comments found on various networking sites. Originally I was painting these images but once I began embroidering, a passion from my own adolescence, I felt the parental hand of concern and caring much more present. I chose a more traditional structure to acknowledge needlework platitudes such as “Bless This House” from the past while incorporating the iconic “thumbs up” and comment box from today’s Facebook page. It is this duality of the past and present, innocence and loss of innocence, privacy and the demise of privacy that fascinates me and drives me to continue exploring this subject."
