    A true work of art worthy of your trail adventures, art, and whatever else you want to jot down inside these pages. What did Graeme have to say about this newest product from BCX?

    “The BCX Journal is 100% handmade and hand stitched – even the paper is 100% made by hand. Why a journal? Good question! How often do we really take the time to put pen to paper and record our adventures… never for the majority. This is a journal of Legacy… a tribute to your accomplishments, a priceless heirloom that (if you so choose) will pass down through generations to follow. Immortalize yourself in print... this is a vessel, not only for your stories but for the effort and time required to record them – it’s good to take the time.” -Graeme Cameron

    Can’t say it better then that. NC

    The mayor of Detroit spoke via Twitter not long ago saying, “There are not any plans to erect a statue to Robocop. Thank you for the suggestion.” And while this may be his feeling on the subject, Kickstarter and the people have spoken otherwise, raising over $60,000 to build just such a statue, this is about 10k over the Kickstarter goal and they have over 30 days to spare.

    Plus you can still contribute, and each person who is a part of the fund raising will get a reward in the fashion of items from free beer to a T-Shirt. Take that crime… And Mayor Bing. LinkNC

    Meet a couple of white guys named Todd Banks and Spencer Harmon. These two gents happen to be talented hip hop artists, and the happen to have an album coming out soon. Very soon in fact. September 30th there will be a local CD release party, and their new 18 track album releases Friday, September 3rd on iTunes. Supporting local music is often a good thing, but it’s better when the group you’re supporting just so happens to rock. NC

Well I knew I didn’t have time to hunt down everyone, so I headed to the indy books and started shooting. Saw some great stuff there, and after the photo runs are complete we’ll be sharing some spotlights on some of these guys in the weeks to come.
