Kelsey Brookes in a genius, there is really no doubt in that, his show was pretty amazing! The only thing that can really eclipse his genius is the sheer brilliance of Lion Cut the band that played at his opening. You have gotta check them out, pretty amazing.

So I just got back from Magic and now I am in Ventura taking care a a photoshoot for Neff Headware. I recently shot this for them in Salt Lake City for an ad featuring Justin Benee and Stevie Bell. That should be running in some snowboarding mags now. Now Magic is over, everyone is off taking care of things last minute for the ASR and Agenda shows in San Diego. I'm actually a little up set that I won't be able to make it down to that show, because Pony and BPM are going to be throwing a pretty insane party whats even cooler is that the flyer for the party has a photo that I shot on it of my sneakers!

Anyway the Neff shoot is going really really well, despite the fact that it is totally last minute. and I have to get this all ready a prepped to be printed tomorrow. I am really cutting it close on this one. But regardless of all this, I am really excited about this one. the stuff looks really good.



I also got to shoot with Terry Kennedy which was really cool. I had tons of ideas that he was really receptive with, which is really cool, because alot of times, I'll work with people that don't really care about what I am doing, they just want to get in and get out. Terry actually wanted to be involved with the process, and was actually early to the shoot which is a real rarity, especially with pro skaters.

Pony recently launch thier new website featuring a bunch of photos that I shot for them. Here is a screen grab that I got from their website showing off some photos of their collaboration they did with Neff Headwear. I was recently down at the offices in San Diego where I got to take a gander at some of the new stuff that they have going on. It's pretty exciting to be apart of the resurrection of a brand like this, being able to mix my ideas and my style with a brand that has alot of heritage and history is really interesting. I have really been interested in under takeing something like this, and everyone over there seems to really enjoy what I have been able to bring to the table. Most projects I have been apart of have been with companies that are relatively young Pony goes all they way back to 1972 so they got alot of years under themselves. I'm obviously not really into all the stuff that they have been apart of during the 90's, but under the new direction and with a new CEO Kevin Wulff, I couldn't resist. Kevin has been apart of some really great things in the athletic footwear industry, and he really seems to believe that I can offer the kind of images that it would take to help build this brand in the direction it needs to go.

So I was perusing the interweb today, and I stumbled upon this flyer for the upcoming Pony and Vapors party at ASR, with Flosstradamus, Stretch Armstrong, and DJ Fashen. I shot these pics for my buddy Colin at Pony a while back, so it was pretty cool to see that they are using them for this, But what is really funny about this, is that the red,white and blue kicks in the photos are the actual shoe that I am wearing right now.

So I'm out today with Skullcandy and LRG for LRG's annual photoshoot/party in NYC. It was pretty nuts. I was also excited today, because I got to pull out some new kicks I got from my pal Colin Bickley over at Pony .
They are pretty sweet, and pretty much one of my favorite pairs that I have gotten this year. Any way, I met up with Brad and Ben from Skullcandy over at some club down town where we met up Roxy Cottentail tell her about the LRG party. After a while of chilling at the club I had to get a bite to eat so I went over to the Ray's Pizza off of Broadway, to grab a slice and I happened to run into The Decemberists, which was pretty awesome as well as being random. Anyway, the next day, I first went over to LRG's NYC office to pick up some loot and then went to the location of where the shoot was, which was this pretty incredible 3 story penthouse with a pool on the top floor. I have no idea how many people were their, but all I know was that it was pretty packed, with about 200 people on the ground floor just trying to get in. Photographer Michael Greenberg shot this pretty funny pic of me that was on display on his wall of Polaroids. while I was there I got to hang out with some pretty rad guys like DJ Jazzy Jeff, Just Blaze, and Sirus radio dj, Lil' Shaun.
