Pews, 1958, Columbia, SC
I started this Tumblr to accompany my main blog www.thetruthrenaissance.wordpress.com. It will basically consist of quotes, lyrics, links to my blog posts on wordpress, and random pictures of things I love (i.e. Ettiqute, Luxury Items, Quotes, Hip Hop, Women, Film, Music, African-American History, Fashion, etc). Basically, this site is full of what I like to call the "Aesthetics of my life".

Lancia Aurelia B24 Spider (1954)
I could watch pictures of this B24 all day. Pininfarina designed the body, and Lancia provided its own OHV V6 2.5 litre engine. Nothing screams “drive me across the green fields on a warm spring afternoon” more than this.
