    First things first: this is the 1000th post on the new blog. Thank you, thank you. Now, getting to brass tacks: please notice my squinty faced self portrait in the Rolls Royce grill, above. Hahahaha. It wasn’t on purpose. It was one of those bonus details that I noticed when I started editing. I spent…

    Over the weekend, I rescued this BIC turntable from the curb, when I was walking home from parking the car. It was before the monsoon started, so it hadn’t been exposed to the elements or anything. It just needed to have the dust wiped from it. It appears to be in working order. It isn’t…

    I love it when Reagan brings home fresh flowers. I know that it should probably be my job, not hers. But I generally only bring them home on Valentines, or if I did something really bad. Just joking about the second reason. When I did something really bad, I normally just have the flowers delivered…

    It is the 30th year anniversary edition Stussy “Acquaforce XXX” watch.  The triple X of course being Roman Numerals for 10, signifying 30. You can check the details on the Japanese Stussy site. According to Highsnobiety, these beauties will be available domestically around April 3rd. Stussy is also awesome, because they cite one of my…

    I know that Jake is a pretty big fan of hip hop, or at least a much bigger fan than I, so it kind of surprises me that I have managed to find a group that I endorse, and Jake hasn’t written about. I will just cover the nuts and bolts, and maybe if I’m…

    Sunday was grey and cold, all day long. We visited Piper early. Reagan had a long story reading session with her, before Piper decided that it was nap time. I was definitely feeling the nap vibe, too. So, I caught my own nap, later in the afternoon. I hope that spring comes back soon. I…

    Reagan was booked doing hair today. So, I had a kind of rare opportunity to hang out with Piper by myself and get some daddy-daughter one on one time. It was pretty fun. Piper (like most kids) loves phones. I had mine out to snap a shot of her for Reagan. She grabbed the phone…

    So then why is everything going so crappy? I missed my run this morning, because 1. it was raining 2. I was getting a haircut and 3. The temperature dropped like 20 degrees, overnight. To cap off a rough morning, the crowd was 4 deep on the train platform this morning (see above). Everyone had…

    Thursday night, I had the pleasure of shooting Justin Bua’s gallery opening at Pop International in SoHo. I was pretty stoked about it, being that I’m a huge fan of Bua’s. I actually did a piece on Bua and his work, in SoJones earlier this week. Be sure to check it, if you haven’t already.…
