The Three Stripes crew stays on the road! They just dropped this tour edit through the homeland of Germany:

Man, Gustav Tonnesen can do it in front of, and behind the lens. You know he's a great photographer now too? Might have a photo in an upcoming TransWorld print project...

And French Fred, who's shot Hotel De Ville better than him? He started filming there in 1993. He may just have a photo of Shin Sanbongi, featured in the video here, at that famous plaza, in an upcoming TWS print thing. We shall see.

Speaking of VHS Mag and Japan, have you been? It's the best place ever. We went earlier this year. Episodes are rolling out now-ish. Peep the latest:

adidas did a collab with Lyon's local football team too! Olympique Lyonnais. French Fred's photos are amazing. He's found new angles to shoot the plaza after all these years. And the photos inside the football stadium are amazing too. VHS Mag really got everything.
