From Moliere to Manet to Dumas, there’s never been a shortage of inspiration among French artists. It’s as though there’s something in the air that naturally ignites creative fireworks. As we’re about to discover during our first-ever Exclusives only iStockalypse, just walking the streets of Marseilles is an exercise in inspiration.

Alt-country chanteuse Lucinda Williams dubbed it The Velvet Rut. That impossibly smooth sensation that overcomes you in a matter of hours in Austin, the hottest cool town in Texas. It’s not so much a destination as a state of mind, one filled with stellar music, skittish bats, and the hippest people around. There’s no point in getting all riled up, that just ain’t cool. Plus, the sultry heat makes it impossible to move faster than a crawl, y’all.

Smoke billows out of the hood. Pedestrians cough, wave their arms to try and clear the noxious, metallic smoke as they stroll through the Ramblas. Sirimo shrugs in the passenger seat. “Don’t look at me, I don’t even have a driver’s license.”
“Si, Si,” I say to the policeman. “On fire, yes. I know. Gracias”
I rev the Fiat’s engine and stall it again. It’s one o’clock in the afternoon on the first day of iStockalypse Barcelona.”

We’re in Ljubljana and we’ve found gremlin and poba.”

Hair-brained dot coms, million-dollar websites about nothing; they all dragged themselves to our doorstep at Evolvs.com. Then Gerry Hart turned up. All he wanted was to promote independent music in a market saturated with tween pop. For braddy and I, it struck a chord. After all, we’d just built this crazy photography website to promote independent talent. So that was the Plug awards then; an idea that needed a website. Six years later and they’ve booked Webster Hall in New York City, and need photographers. Meanwhile, we’ve been grooming some independent talent of our own. Here’s the story of our visual and audible efforts coming together.”

Before we get ready to pack our bags again, we thought we’d better sit down with our coffee and think back fondly of the mayhem.”

It’s hot, but people in the city make a point of getting out and enjoying themselves. We meet Jeffry Zeldman, his wife Carrie, and their adorable baby Ava, for brunch and a walk in Bryant Park. People mill around with dogs, babies, shopping bags, smiles on their faces and a cordial sentiment in their hearts. I had pegged it for an auspicious day, but the mood is even better than I imagined. Brianna and I spend the remainder taking photographs. We can’t wait for tomorrow, to meet everyone.”

The airport is packed with pseudo-cowboys heading back to Toronto, Texas and New York. It takes nearly 90 minutes to check our luggage and we almost miss our flight. Fortunately, Air Canada forgot to actually staff the flight we are on and the pilots don’t show up until 40 minutes after we’re comfortably buckled in our seats. We head to Toronto for a quick meeting with Peebert and Jaybert over Hakka Meat Pickles and stimulating conversation.”
