Part 3.
This photo is from Mallorca, an island in the Mediterranean off the coast of Spain..
The one green shutter on tilt-mode disturbs the basic color scheme and the strict, Tetris-grid-like architecture of the building.

Part 2.
Every corner of Spain has a real unique character and vibe, and I tried to hit up as many different towns and regions as I could while I was there. This photo is from the Plaza España in Sevilla…
Barricade Threads.
For me, this image is powerful because of the way the colors and patterns on the ground interact with the colors and patterns of the vendor’s set-up. This is especially striking because the vendor’s barricades cut across the plaza floor in a straight, but almost violent, line that disrupts the patterned tile-work underneath.

Storytellin..
As a lot of yall know the LIFESTYLE first went ~live~ out of Brooklyn back in late August. Since then, we’ve been holdin down the Reflection and Response across the Atlantic from Brooklyn to Madrid. P’s experiences in Spain that he’s expressed through raw word, song, and rhyme have got me reminiscin’ somethin mean about my time living in Barcelona in 2008!! This week I’ll be pulling together a series of photos in honor of the good ol’ days around Spain and as a shoutout to my brother P.
The first photos in this series are from the Gothic Quarter (Barrio Gótico) in Barcelona.. Mean architecture stylo. Buildings and streets that speak. Hasta pronto!!
I hope everyone has a dope Thanksgiving weekend!!

NASDI Ain’t It??
Roll call. This is an ill breakdown. An interesting moment of inactivity for something that’s usually in motion.
Stutter-step..

P.s. who caught the musical reference-tribute-salute? Tweet us your response @LIFESTYLE_RR or hit us up in the comments!!
From the GROUND Up shows another structure with deep character. Notice the multiple phases of lettering that have been put up, built in, worn in, and removed over time, whose ghosts are rusted over but still visible.

Yo! This week the Photography element of the LIFESTYLE comes alive!! Let’s finally take a look at the full-size version of our current banner photo, self-titled: the LIFESTYLE.
Took it this past summer while walking the High Line park in New York City. This section always looks so dope to me: barbed wire, chain link fence, metal pipes, hand wheels, and old/weathered paint. All these pieces weave together to create an interesting figure with mean character and stories for days…
