Nike VNTG Dunk Red/Navy Retro

Just better pix

Pasta Pomodoro sucks, but Happy Birthday Boyzee!

This past weekend we celebrated Boyzee aka Mr. fOLDED's birthday at Pasta Pomodoro. I only ate here about 2-3 times, and never had a good dish. Linda and I shared some ravioli dish that had some type of weird sugar coating on it. Pretty gross.. Afterwards headed to the Liasos' house and watch Anderson Silva kick some ass! Then ended the night with some almond cake from Peter's bakery. Another great night with the homies!



FIGHT THE POWER!







Get off the POLE!!!!!

From the Bay to the Chi

This past month I was lucky enough to visit Chicago for work with one of my awesome students. We spent a week with our other chapters around the country staying at the University of Chicago, and learning what it takes to be a leader, public speaking skills, group dynamics, and the benefit of a higher education.

Paint restoration and future projects

Well thanks to Nike's ugly vintage look they added to the dunk retros, I've decided to jump back in the painting game. For the dunks I stripped off the Navy paint and repainted. After taking these pictures, I stripped the vintage paint off the midsoles,repainted the threads white on the midsoles and will take updated pix in the day time.

As for future projects I had these pair of Air Force 1's painted 3 years ago. I just painted 1 shoe. I actually have a design in mind and hope to finish these shoes in collaboration with fOLDED inc. I'll keep you updated on this new project in the future.

Another day

Wrapped up editing another newborn set! I think I'm getting better at this. I'm learning a lot more about light and how to use and adjust it. I think that just comes with time. Once I get approval I'll post the newborn set up, but for now here are some kicks to hold you over.

Kobe's having a great summer!

Check out Kobe dropping 45 points and hitting the game winner over James Harden at the Drew League.

My first newborn shoot

I had another great opportunity to shoot my newborn niece baby Gabby a couple of weeks ago. Shooting newborns are very difficult because they are really unpredictable, you need to work with their feeding schedule, and I am still learning how to work with light. This is the first set, and hoping to wrap up the second set this weekend. For more pix, check out my flickr
