Sharing some pictures of my Independence day weekend.

I had family from Colombia visiting, so we drove across the Everglades to Naples.

Funny how just driving two hours out of Miami, you feel like you're in a completely different country.

Hi,

Sharing a recent portrait of me.

I wear white all the time now. It's weird because when I was younger, I avoided wearing white (I used to be a heavy kid, so I thought that white made me seem even heavier).

Happy Thanksgiving,

Juan

Hello,

I'm not a giant Sofia Coppola fan, but I can definitely appreciate these she directed for Gap.
Really digging all this campaign from W+K.

Best,

Hi,

Sharing a painting that Sam made for me. I've been really into teal and pink together, reminds me of Miami.

Best,

Hi,

It's the end of October and usually around this time is when there's a calmness to the air, sort of like a giant sigh as the year ends.

That giant sigh starts now and ends sometime around mid-december (when I start getting nostalgic for all the memories from the year). Anyways, alongside this giant breath, I slow down as settle into some sort of fall vibes (as fall as Miami can get).

I've moved on from dancing 24/7 to Cut Copy, New Order, Duke Dumont... to just swaying to slower tunes.

Foxygen's newest (double) LP release is my main source of inspiration. It goes from good, to weird, to amazing. Sharing one of my favorite tracks so far. I hope you enjoy.

Best,

Juan Satizabal

Hi!

These are some pics I took for Gauche LA.

I invite you to like their Facebook page.

Also, you can see more pics on my website (which I recently re-designed for simplicity).

Until later,

Juan

Hi all,

In the past few months I've been running around crazy from job to job, place to place, class to class.

I just graduated, I'm in LA, and trying to find my place in the world.

Anyways, I'm sharing two pics that I've taken which I'm semi obsessed with.

The first, a still from a GIF set I'm working on.
The second, a fun shoot with Sam (who has become my muse).

Cheers,

Juan

Recap of 2013

2013-12-31T16:06:00.000-05:00

This past year has been absolutely insanely amazing. So many people I met, so many places I visited, so many new experiences and memories that I will seriously never forget. This blogpost is missing so much that I didn't photograph, things that I can't share and things that can't be put in a picture.

If you were part of my life this past year, I want to thank you because I can't say anything bad about 2013. What a year.

I started off the year by going to live in Paris for 6 months.

I spent countless days at Parc des Buttes Chaumont, from when it was covered in snow in January to when it was covered with people sun bathing in June.

Alongside my roommates and a friend, we traveled to Amsterdam with just backpacks.

Sam became a very important part of my life.

Cathiana's (right) laughter became addicting and I could not live without it for too long. On our way to Mont Saint Michelle.

I spent some time in London.

My best friends from Miami came to visit France. We explored Versailles.

The view of the Parisian sunset from the window of my apartment became irresistible.

Went to Santander in Spain, and was dropped off at the side of a highway with these two ladies, made for an interesting day.

Went to Barcelona to go to Primavera Sound.

Sam in Marseille.

Sam in Nyons.

After Nyons, we went to Nice, and traveled further along the French Riviera. This is me in Eze.

The Devil's Bridge, which had a funny story which is too long to mention right now.

When I got back home, I traveled to Puerto Rico with my family. Here's my dad at a high point in the Yunque.

I stayed over at Jennifer's apartment in Orlando for a weekend.

My favorite animal in the world. I love Willy.

I went to Los Angeles. This is during a hike.

My sister celebrated her 15th birthday.

I spent the best Christmas with my parents, my sister, and my dog.

There is SO much missing in this post it makes me sad. I wish I could share everything.

Happy New Year!

These are some pictures from Marseille, June 2013.

I went with Sam, we passed by a boulangerie and had breakfast at the Vieux Port.

We took a boat that brought us to Château d'If, and we could see Marseille from afar.

Wandered around the city.

The next day we decided to go hiking at the Calanques.

Probably one of (if not) the best view I have ever seen.

We swam with other hikers in the cold Mediterranean Sea.

Ultra-violets sentiments j'ai grandi comme un arbre
Ultra-violets quand tu mens j'ai empilé les armes
Éperdument, je me permets
Et pour longtemps, je ne serai pas plus grande
Ultra-violets formidables j'ai prié comme un diable
J'oublie mon rétroviseur et mes freins et ma peur
Éperdument, je me permets
Et pour longtemps, je ne serai pas plus grande

Here are some scans from a Bauhaus book I rented from my university.
Lately I've been more than inspired by architecture/furniture/interior design.

This is the kitchen of Haus am Horn, a model house produced by Georg Muche. 1923.

Tea Infuser MT 49, designed by Marianne Brandt in her first year of apprenticeship. 1924.

Of course, the Wassily Chair B 3 by Marcel Breuer. The final form of the chair was made in 1927/28.

The notes on this page were left by someone who previously rented this book. I chose to post this picture because I'm always intrigued by notes left behind, and can't help but wonder who it was that wrote it, how long ago they wrote, and their intentions.

Bauhaus building in Dessau. 1925/26.

Arrived in Santander Thursday night.

Friday, we explored a bit.

Ended up in a small town called Obregon.

There, I had one of the best meals I've ever had.

When we went back to the city, we were barefoot for a while.

We were intrigued by weird trees

+ the ocean.

Saturday can only be explained in one picture.
