New Passions

by Siobhan
Gift & Stationery / March 02, 2011

It's not quite the first day of Spring yet, but I'm tired of grey winter weather (and what's this about hurricanes predicted for BC today?!). I am ready for Springtime.

Spring is all about reawakening from our winter slumber, shaking off our grey-sky blues and reigniting our passions. So I was quite pleased to see that Moleskine has created a whole line of videos to showcase their new Passions Journals. Moleskine has added several new topics to their popular set of Passions Journals this season: Style, Travel, Gardening, Dog, Cat, and Baby.

Here are some videos that I hope will get you all fired up about your passion, whatever it may be.

Dan Eldon Project

by Dan
Art & Photography + Travel / August 09, 2010

Photojournalist Dan Eldon was only 22 when he lost his life on assignment in Somalia. 

An artist, an activist, and an adventurer, Eldon had led a relief mission across Africa, worked as a graphic designer in New York, studied (intermittently) at four colleges, travelled through Europe, Africa, Japan, and the United States, founded a charity for Mozambiquan refugees, directed a film, written a book and started up his own photography business all before his tragic death.  

The creative journals he left behind became the basis for the bestselling The Journey Is the Destination published by Chronicle Books, and his life inspired the founding of Creative Visions, which supports “Creative Activists” who use media and the arts to create positive change in the world.

The foundation have recently redesigned daneldon.org, their website dedicated to Eldon, and have launched The Dan Eldon Project, a collection of clothing inspired by Eldon's life to support their work.
