Taking a Break

So, after only a few months of running Heavy Denim, I've decided to take a break.

What in God's name will I read now?! I hear all three of you cry - well, you'll be pleased to know I'll still be writing solidly on fashion and lifestyle, over on Buckets and Spades, as well as continuing my food writing on Foodepedia and

The truth is, for a blog to be half-decent, you need to commit to it. With my current writing, work, new projects, and general laziness, it's going to be hard to keep the content flowing.

Thanks to everyone who has had a read; thanks too to all those brands that supported us along the way. We'll be back soon - hopefully - but regardless, see you over on Buckets and Spades!

A blog to read | Our Ruins

Abandoned places are one of my favourite subjects. Not to visit, really - aside from an East German skate park and a VW camper van graveyard, I don't have the bottle for that.

Besides, other folks cover them far better - Worship Blues' post on Porto being one of the best examples I've ever seen.

Our Ruins is a blog that focus exclusively on abandoned places. And it's stunning. Truly stunning. Incredible places, with flawless photography. If you like abandoned places, this is one to bookmark, follow, read, and absorb.

The pictures are mostly (perhaps exclusively) locations in Texas. These guys clearly have an abundance of suitable places on their doorstep; however, we all do - I'm sure of it - and it takes real skill, commitment, and courage to go out and shoot them.

Take a look at their blog, gain some inspiration, and go and shoot!
