Los Angeles was a blast! We did so much in our short trip and I can’t wait to go back. Here’s a few photos from my phone… It’s funny, because the more I go down to California, the less I take photos… My first trip this year, I took hundreds of photos and this last trip I took a few riding shots and a few digi shots with my Leica… No film and I even drug my Canonet with me… Oh well… Next trip I should only shoot film.
Down in LA again! Jay and I drove down to Seattle so I could vote and I was so psyched to be in the States durrimg the election. So much energy!! We flew Virgin America, ha a nice flight, then as soon as I got in town, I headed over to the Ludwig office to chill with those guys. We have a bunch of stuff planned and we are heading to Oakley now. Should be a good trip!
Josh came up from Seattle last weekend. I hadn’t seen him for a while, so it was rad to get to hang out. Here are some photos.
It’s been a while with no updates. I’ve been working on a new portfolio site and I’m building it with Wordpress. I was toying the idea around of having my blog and all my work on the same blog, just separating it with different category styles. The whole design process was going really well, but I got caught up in creating a template to style individual posts differently. For example, when you clicked on a blog entry (say this one), I wanted it to look different than if you were to click on a specific project. I got really close, but just gave up and built a separate blog for my work… During all this, I change the directory of my blog and didn’t really want to do any posts till I got it figured out, because I’d have to manually change the url for all my images… It’s a bit dry and complicated, but I’ve learned a lot about Wordpress and I’m excited to use it as more than just a blog… I’m also using this as a learning experience for me, so I can start using it more as a light CMS for my client work.
I haven’t shot many photos lately, mainly because I haven’t gone on any trips and have pretty much just been working… I did take the time to whipe my whole G5 down, re-install the OS and all my apps, add 2 gigs of ram and a 500 gig internal HD! I’ve had my computer for over three years and it was definitely time for some upgrades. It’s been running great and I can’t wait to get a new Cinema Display to go along with my upgrades! I’m also on the fence weather or not I shuould get a new MacBook… I got my black one in March and It’s perfect… 2.4ghz w/ 4 gigs of ram… I don’t really need a new one, I’d just really like one… Hey, if anyone out there want’s to buy my black MacBook, hit me up!
Upgrades to my PowerPC G5.
I have a lot of cameras.
Mark Malligmat hooked me up with a few new pairs of DVS… Thanks Mark!!
Just got or second Eames LCW the other day. Michaela got me our first lcw for my brithday this past summer and we just added number two to our collection… This is now our sixth piece of Eames furnature… I think it’s time to mess with some new designers for a bit… All we need now is a bigger apartment. I wouldn’t mind a Kartell Louis Ghost Arm Chair next… A Tolomeo Mega lamp would be dope as well…
Oh, the Defgrip X Lotek Nightwolfs are out now. I’m psyched on how they turned out. I guess they were pretty much sold out before they even shipped… Pretty rad!
