It's time to start asking questions...
Let's start with Dominick Volini...
This talented guy has a lot going on...I came across his photographs a few months ago and wanted to learn more about what makes this man of many mediums click...tick...tock...
Let's get started...

What’s for breakfast?
raisin bran and vanilla soy w/sliced bananas or fruit smoothie with kale and bee pollen

What are you listening to right now?
Toro y Moi, Neon Indian, Beach House, Beach Fossils (basically whatever ty williams tells me is good and new - he is my music advisor)

What was the last thing that made your heart/stomach flip in a good way?
Seeing cute girls at the ACE hotel.

Was there an event/person that made you want to pick up a camera and start clicking?
I've always been shooting - documenting my early days skateboarding, surfing, snowboarding. from Polaroids to 35mm. now i shoot mostly digital but am working my way back to film.

What is the magical recipe for Baron Well's cufflinks? I'm pretty sure there are some superpowers packed into that glass vial...
Unique components are our trademark. we source corozo buttons from South America, Potato starch/horn composite buttons from Italy, hand-tied fly (fishing) links in Boise, ID. And finally - all are finished in the diamond district in NYC.

We should be keeping our eyes peeled for....?
New www.baron-wells.com website dropping in March. New shirts, unbelievably comfortable and tailored boardshorts, ties, links, etc. New collaboration with ACE hotel. We're curating an art show with a Director from Christies in April showing new works by Ty Williams and Rob Kulisek. Lastly, we're going to keep working with artists, musicians, industrial designers, architects, and other like-minded creative heads to release intriguing projects and products. I'm also gong to be shaping more alaia boards for Saturdays surf shop this spring. 

Thanks Dom!
