Dear Miley Cyrus,

Bruhhh. I got Endless Summer Vacation blazing in Brooklyn. She grown now. From Hannah Montana, twerking on Robin Thicke at the VMA’s, to “We Can’t Stop” at Shore Club Miami Beach. The twenties. You got it out of your system.

At last, you are in your thirties like Taylor and I. Welcome. Only a real life journey could have fueled an album such as this. “Jaded”. “Island”. I am bowing down to you, Korine, and Morando over “Handstand”. Psycho melodies.

“Naked in conversation, drown me in your delight.” Backyard Sessions and Happy Hippie are getting a lot of attention. You know I have to give props for your newest milestone. Your commitment is ill. Proud of you, young woman.

Sincerely,
Xynn Tii

Another round in Iceland. Color science. Curation. Layout design.

Skógar. Gullfoss. Kerið volcanic crater. More other-worldly beauty.

Trekking past the ice cap of Eyjafjallajökull. These are roadside views.

Farming at the base of Fimmvörðuháls. Black sheep has new meaning.

Witnessing this waterfall from underneath. Selajalandsfoss is deadly.

Finale daytime visuals in Skógar before resting for the night in Vík.

Thousand Miles

Story 88. This one really hit home. It is breathtaking how much dedication goes into designing each Story. Curation alone requires months and developing a color formula for the visual experience is always one of the finishing touches.

When my back is against the wall, it is easier to become flustered. Story helps maintain composure. Because a Story is never created out of impulse. Each month, every pixel and word are there for a reason. Story 100, I smell you.

“I‘m not always right but still I ain’t got time for what went wrong. Where I end up I don’t really care. I’m out of my mind but still I’m holding on like a Rolling Stone. A thousand miles from anywhere.” – Miley Cyrus
