Urban Culture from Five ContinentsDecember 01, 2007 | 12:20PMwejetset staff

Street World, a book of full-color photos, uniquely captures the phenomenon of urban art & culture from five continents. Whether it’s New York, Los Angeles, a Brazilian mega-city or a South African township, authors Roger Gastman, Caleb Neelon and Anthony Smyrski have richly highlighted these cultural hotspots from around the world. 380 pages in length, this publication is a time capsule for a raw art-form that will be appreciated for many years to come.

A Challenge from Tyler BruleDecember 01, 2007 | 03:02AMtaj reid

tbmonocle

Monocle magazine terrifically covers international affairs, business, culture and design. With a careful eye for detail, the journalistic temperament is sophisticated and knowledgeable while still being inclusive and diverse. This is not a magazine. It’s a book that you get monthly. We have every issue at the office, and we refer to them as coffee table resources. Their design is inspiring and moving, and you can reference it for months and still find new and interesting information each time.

It was no surprise that we weren’t the only fans of Monocle. Arriving as one of the top selling debuts in magazine history, it definitely has its followers. Who could blame them. For example we came across an awesome photo collection by one of its readers. The photos were taken in response to a challenge posed by Tyler Brûlé, the editor.

dmintro

Writer and photographer Diana McClure took her first trip when she was 2, to Haiti. Since then she has touched down in multiple countries in North America, Central America, the Caribbean and Europe. Some of these trips were taken too far back to remember. Nevertheless, she’s traveled by foot, car, bus, train, courier flight, first class, on frequent flier miles, cash, credit, or whatever, in order to satisfy her wanderlust. When she’s not on the road you’ll find her on travel excursions in her home city.

Currently, Ms. McClure is Founder and Creative Director of Cultureserve, a global art & culture news website. She holds a BA from Columbia University, an MA from The New School for Social Research and is based in Brooklyn, New York. We’re excited to have Diana on the team. Her posts will surely inspire, so stay tuned.
