Tech Sexy with Hasselblad and Filippa K
The Hasselblad X1D is the latest model from the esteemed camera maker but what makes this medium format picture taking device different is the fact it is mirrorless. Compact, powerful, and rugged but with impressive handling dynamics.
We tested the X1D by producing fashion shoot with Black and Paper Creative Colleague Dale Grant featuring looks from Swedish brand Filippa K.

Black and Paper Christmas List 2016 Travel
It was not easy choosing a destination this Christmas Season. There were so many factors regarding the decision, ranging from safety to geopolitics to experiencing the new and undiscovered or the adventure.
Tel Aviv, Israel and Colombia stood out because each one possesses so many unique qualities that reward a traveler. I know, one is a city in the Middle and the other is a country in South America. What they had in common is: Expectation. What would a traveler find in these locations? As a seasoned traveler when I think of these places I am not sure what to expect: A liberal oasis in the Middle East, the other a vast country in the process of healing after years of multiple destructive conflicts.
A metropolis that offers so much, Tel Aviv seems to go by the beat of its own music. Regardless of what happens around it, this is a city with vitality for life, I would describe it as vivacious. Beach life, cultural, LBGT, and music festivals are only some of myriad of options. An “enjoy today” confidence and attitude that radiates in all directions.
An exotic destination ready for those willing to be rewarded with an adventure of a lifetime, Colombia, after decades of civil war and the War on Drugs one would think this country is not ready to be explored; I think it is the opposite. With peace at hand, this South American country has a lot offer: cultural diversity, miles and miles of tranquil coastal beaches, islands, and mountain and jungle terrains all authentic not spoiled by mass tourism.

We are still in a state of shock of what happened in our home city at the Christmas Market, 12 dead and 48 injured, our heartfelt condolences to the all the victims. The details are still sketchy as to who and why performed this act of violence.
Given its 20th century history, Berlin became a city of tolerance, a place where everyone can come and be themselves, attracting people from all over world who wanted to experience the eccentric charm offered seven days a week, 24 hours a day. Berliners have prided themselves on their city’s openness.
While it has been confirmed the Christmas Market attack, was an act of terrorism there has been no solid evidence it was committed by refugees housed in the city. One man has been detained but there is growing doubt he is not the perpetrator. Whoever committed this crime, we have our fingers crossed he will be brought to justice quickly.
The Spirit of Berlin will continue to move forward after this tragic event.

Tech Q&A Review from Black and Paper
The AfterShockz Wireless Trekz Titanium Headphones are connected via Bluetooth to smartphones and other listening devices. They are good for running, and other exercise.
What did you like about the AfterShockz Wireless?
While I am riding my bike using the headsets I can hear everything around me, in traffic this is important for safety. I can use wear them with my helmet. Because the sound travels along the jawbone my ears are free. The headsets are easy to connect to different devices. I wore them around the house while doing other things they were very comfortable, the fit was snug.
When I was in the room I could listen to two different sources. I am the type of to have a conversation and listen to my audio book. I listened to football games while sitting on my terrace.

You Can Never Go Wrong with a Gift by Chanel
For Her
An out-and-out classic, Chanel No.5 is a cultural seedbed for woman’s fragrance. “What do I wear to bed? Why, Chanel No. 5 of course.” Chanel has always been associated with glamour and fabulousness, attributed to the women who wear it. So rear is a scent with qualities that inspire a wearer.
For Him
Allure Homme Sport from Chanel is a citrus based contemporary scent for men with touches of amber and cedar. What I like about this cologne is the fact it compliments without overpowering the wearer. Allure Homme Sport is a man’s fragrance for activity, a dash but no smelling like he is in rush, a winner.
Chanel is available in fine stores worldwide.
