Mast on the Selby


The title of this post will probably make absolutely no sense to most of you.

The Mast Brothers are an ultra-hip sensation based in Brooklyn (natch, Williamsburg. Woot.) who have been cultivating a strong following within the rising artisanal movement of bringing back trade work in the food production industry. I mean things like small farm milk and butter, local pickling productions, the return of the art of butchering, and in this case, bean to bar chocolate production.

The Selby is an online photo journalist (is it all right to call him that?) who, in my opinion, takes photos with an eye reminiscent of a love child of The Cobra Snake and Annie Leibovitz. Mostly pulled from the homes and spaces of rocks stars, artists, stylists (basically party all night, rock all day type of people) and cool young businesses, Tom Selby has capitalized on the art of photojournalism by indulging in our developed social stalking tendencies. Awesome. I love his website, get a kick out of the written interviews at the end of each entries, and pretty much fall in love with all the Australians on the website.
