BLOG

The daily, and somewhat random, musings from Ben. From the journeys, to the vlogs, to the behind-the-scenes-into-the-world moments.

The Daily Favorites 1/14

Ben Ashby

I’ve learned something recently. Basically...we have the ability to set the course of our mood for the day. We truly have the ability to decide where and how we invest our energy for the day. It’s an intentional decision to be positive, today feels like one of those days that’s good for that. Today’s favorites are 1) @tom_juenemann 2) @tomkahler 3) @alexserns 4) @osemann 5) @ryanresatka 6) @jessolm

Sometimes we have to take a step back and say, what am I good at, what am I bad at, and most importantly what am I going to stop comparing myself to others on. When I scroll through these amazing images of landscapes and places without names I will occasionally find myself thinking my personal photography isn’t up to par, but I quickly remember that we all have our own strengths, we all have things were amazing at, and we all have our own journeys. These days I’m continuously inspired by the images by my daily favorites, never intimidated or jealous. That is such an amazing feeling to achieve. Today’s favorites are 1) @karl_shakur 2) @dpc_photography_ 3) @chrishenry 4) @ryanresatka 5) @adleyy 6) @davemaccy

My Favorite Slow Living Images of 2019

Ben Ashby

It is no secret that I love rural landscapes and slow living. 2019 was the year that allowed me to get back to that love. Over the twelve months I photographed so many beautiful moments The following are a few of my favorites. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

A HotelTonight Pool Party in Brooklyn

Ben Ashby

If you follow me you know I love using HotelTonight. A few weeks ago we were invited to attend their pool party in Brooklyn and the Williamsburg Hotel. The views of Manhattan across the East River were just perfect. The food and music was splendid. What a wonderful way to spend a Sunday in July. I thought I’d share a few of the images I took that day. If you’re hunting for hotels I highly recommend HotelTonight.

The American Made Box

Ben Ashby

Over the years we've worked with so many amazing makers and American made businesses...and have come to so deeply appreciate the craftsmanship that goes into each and every product. We were brain storming a way we could further support those makers beyond simply sharing their stories on our website and social...and the idea of doing a seasonal box was born. Each season we're creating a special designed box filled with maker made goods. We thought this would be a good way to help introduce you to why we love them so much. Each season the box will be totally different from the previous. The summer box ships July 7 and will be filled with five items that were all created by hand in the US. Pre-orders are available now. Each season will be limited to one hundred boxes. You can also test the waters with our more affordable mini box that features two products we know you'll love!

The combined retail value of the products included is over $75. You'll be saving over 30%.

What is in the box will remain a surprise until you receive it. The photos are just a sample of what could be included (several of the items in these photos will be included, but we're not saying which ones!)

Terrain & Table Dinner

Ben Ashby

Sometimes you encounter moments that seem like narratives out of story books or ideas from a distant land. The idea of having a dinner atop a hill in the Catskills with the Delaware River in the distance and Pennsylvania rising from its southern shore seems far fetched and impossible, but The Farmhouse Project brought that fantasy to life with their first Terrain and Table dinner this past weekend in Calicoon, New York.

The idea of the dinner is simple…a community coming together to share a meal. The event comes to life in the details. From a beautiful setting, to locally sourced foods the dinner left no detail perfected. A table for seventy fits perfectly to scale with the orchards that line the hillside around the gathering.

The table quickly felt like a cozy setting as friends were made and food was served. Locals and visitors mingled and made friends as they shared stories of the growing popularity of the western Catskills region, the revival of small towns, and a love of the nature and scenery that surrounded.

The Farmhouse Project will be hosting a series of these dinners this summer and autumn seasons in the western Catskills area. The next one takes place on the original Woodstock grounds.
