Why
I came across this post about the film that was made for the new Nikon D4.
I’m no Nikon savvy person, but I do know the wanderlusting element of curiosity.

The making-of video is here if you have 11 minutes here via vimeo, it is worth it. Film director Corey Rich explains the “gathering great content to tell a story” in it alongside with his staff. Also very interesting locations shot both at day+night time in Joshua Tree, California, Utah +Veracruz, Mexico.
The aerial and night vision over dusk of the Utah mt biker woman is beyond stunning.

“The only constant in my life, is that there is no constant” -Dane Jackson /Kayaker

Here is the short promo film, check it out:

/Nikon – WHY from Corey Rich on Vimeo.

This video(s) and the thick layer of the exploratory curiosity in all of us at different levels, reminds me to wonder and ask when was the last moment I made myself available to be positioned in a magical moment?

I believe that the path to happiness exists within us, but often we are the ones to get distracted, segwayed or hold ourselves from it. But deep down we do know it exists, it’s there and we are the ones that can control weather or not we find it.

Put the Bond between your legs.

Today, October 5th marks James Bond 007 50th anniversary:

“It has been announced that October 5th, 2012 will be Global James Bond Day, a day-long series of events for 007 fans around the world.” 

It all started with the debut of “Dr.No” starring the timeless handsome Sean Connery.

It took me a second, but that is a golden woman behind him.
If roles were to be reversed, it would probably be Madonna whipping some golden lads.
Interesting.
Daniel Craig is also hosting SNL tomorrow Saturday.

Meanwhile in Santa Monica, James Bond actor (1995-2004) Pierce Brosnan & Sons ride bikes. Hope they don’t run into Cher and have her call them absolute idiots, because you know PCH is a bitch to drive through with those cyclists…

The tumblr site is full of fun fotos and a peek into her personal life, most recently many pit stops throughout Texas with her girlfriends including this super cool one below in Marfa, Texas:
