The other day Frank and I were lucky enough to head over to Clarks to do a photo shoot for our upcoming collaboration. Everyone over at Clarks was very helpful, showing us every location they could think of that might be beneficial for the look we were trying to achieve… we even stumbled upon a room full of old slot machines (strangely enough that room didn’t work out for us…)
Here are a few samples of the shoot.
Simple enough but not as easy as it sounds. My brain is constantly moving and it affects the level of relaxation I can achieve. While I’m laying in bed my mind is racing and it doesn’t let me turn off the engine. Design something, blog something, write something, meet someone, then come home and do all those things while juggling a family. Its like walking up 10 flights of stairs with the comfort of leg weights.
Friday I was in court for a bullshit suspended license charge that had me as nervous as customers leaving the check cashing spot in the hood on the 1st of the month. I got through it though. Thanks. Fortunately I had a trip to Gloucester MA for a wedding and some much needed R&R.
Beautiful weather (and childless) had my wife and I smiling like we stole something.
Great weekend– I need more of these.

Oh yeah—- this isn’t an act for the camera. This is how she normally feels.
I’ve always had a love/hate relationship with Nike iD. Sometimes the shoes I make come out great, sometimes they don’t end up as I intended. It tends to be hard to judge how the colors will look when all you’ve got is a computer screen. This year, Nike iD decided to give us some really good options for the Air Max 1, as far as materials go. Mesh as the base, soft suede, reflective 3M material, good color way options, even speckled midsoles. I’ve always loved the Air Max 1, so the options on iD now are right up my alley. I’ve gotten four pairs of them already and fighting off the urge to get a fifth. Safe to say, I’m obsessed. Check out the pictures below and grab a pair if you can, before they change the options.
~ Silver, Black, Neptune Blue, Blue Dusk.
~ Silver, Black, Electric Green.
~ White, Black, Silver, Electric Green.
~ Silver, Dusk, Obsidian, Speed Yellow, Black.
I don’t think there is a better photo hosting website out there that is even close to the quality and control you get through Flickr.
I am thoroughly sick of being woken up at 7am every single week day to the sound of pavement being ripped apart right outside my window. It has gotten to the point that I didn’t even need to set an alarm this morning. Just knowing that it’s going to happen, and that I’m going to be instantly in a terrible mood is enough to wake me up.
Seriously though, this is the 3rd week in a row that this has been happening. How much work do they need to do to the road located directly in-front of the house I live in. I feel as though they could/should have already fixed whatever problem it was that has been causing all this work to be done.
I never really played baseball growing up as a kid, nor did I even have the desire to watch it. Needless to say some things change, not all things, but some things do change. I still have no desire to play baseball, but the ability to actually go to a game with skilled players on a great day with friends certainly makes the day very memorable. Over the weekend I, along with two friends, made the drive down to Rhode Island to watch the Pawtucket Red Sox face the Rochester Red Wings. We arrived at the park extremely early (I think we got the best parking spot they even offer to the public) and made our way into the park. Weather was perfect for enjoying the game and a couple beers. The game started off rather slow but progressively picked up speed. I am definitely looking forward to the next time this happens.
***also please take notice of the lady sitting next to us who, throughout the entire game, copied pictures from her Lion King book.
April 11, 2010.
Baseball games, new puppies, quick trips to Maine, and seemingly short weekends. A very solid week that resulted in not having a single stretch long enough of free time to even do a full load of laundry. All in all, it was a great week minus the excessive noise from construction located directly in front of my apartment all week long, promptly starting at 7am every. single. day.
Week of April 4, 2010.
A relatively slow week that was stretched out even more by an awful head cold/sinus infection that put an end to any mid-week projects, adventure or any sort of fun. Summer is here in full force and I am going to take advantage of it fully.
