I have been going back and forth on my Brat since august. It took forever to get her registered and all the paperwork cleared up. As soon as that got worked out I was good to drive her on the road. She didnt work too well so I put her in the shop for a few months. As soon as she was tip-top I started the fun stuff. First I started by getting her new shoes. 15″ black 7 spoke rims seems to suffice. Then I put a new stereo and picked up the back seats (not installed yet). Most recently I got her back form the paint shop where she came home a brand new car. Matte black and looking pissed off. Take a look, more to come soon.
We just wrapped up a test shoot for a product shoot. One of my favorite people I met through working with Kawasaki is their “Handler” freddy. This guys job in life is to bring you vehicles to any part of the world, make sure they always work, and sometimes do some professional driving. We shared a bond pretty quick when i learned he was the camera-bike operator for one of my favorite movies “Air Borne.” He was the dude driving the motorcycle down “Devils Back Bone” following the bladers. Hes got blader-blood for life. Watch Freds moves on display in this dance jam I made out of some B-Roll.
I just finished up a commercial i did for my good friends at Fosted Cupcakery. enjoy!

I just got back from my first ever visit to Hawai’i. I learned how to say words I had always thought were fake, ate foods that grew in jungles, swam at beaches with different sands,saw a “moonbow”, hiked on mars, mudslides to waterfalls, and almost froze to death. The whole experience can be summed up by watching the movie “Romancing the Stone.” I play Michael Douglas and Kimberly is Danny Devito.
Fresh delivery to the studio yesterday was the first prototype of the DAN4TH™ Nike® Shox™ collaboration . Not really, but you can imagine what it would be like… Well I did and designed a shoe on NikeID.com some months back. This Color pallet is familiar with pretty much everything I do for myself. It has been referred to by scholars as “Pho Rasta.” Whatever the case I like the idea of a “one-of-a-kinda” shoe. It took about a Month and a half from design to doorstep and only ran about 30 bucks more then if I would have store bought some Shox.
So I came across this film made by Eames. It is a spot for polaroid about the sx-70 land camera. Takes you back to a simpler aesthetic. Plus i own one of these cameras and it made me jealous I cant use it anymore. They stopped making the 70 film a few years back. Some the photos that came out of that camera were amazing. Instantly look like they where shot in the 70’s. And the depth of field on that camera is pretty amazing. I might be able to find the film somewhere on The Net. fun.
For this entire summer I have been traveling around shooting Kawasaki’s new products for 2010. I haven’t been posting to much this summer because of how sensitive the client is about photos getting out before the product is available. We just launched all our hard work on kawasaki.com. So With that, i gathered up all the fun photos of the crew this whole summer. Thanks to Lisa and Doug for taking all these behind the scenes photos.
Until next time
