Consider this a teaser (as in, you'll be seeing more of these guys here soon). A few shots from a new San Diego-based line, Favorite Pastime. The line is limited but concise, just what we simple folk like. Brainchild of Mat Crossan, the idea was to create a line inspired by the care-free days of skating and hopping curbs till the street lights came on, but updated for those of us who are old enough to not be called for dinner. Easy, simple and relaxed, but with enough details to keep us interested.

Across The Desk
I get a few things flung across my desk here in the 34th floor offices of ATG, most of which falls to the wayside (thanks to all you PR firms who pay no attention to your email lists and push women's bathing suit lines on me). BUT, every now and again, a few things come across that actually make sense. The two most recent of those being customizable bicycles from Milan by Cicli Maestro and hand made bags from Winter Session out of Chi-City. Keep up the good work, PR firms, and keep sending those emails with subject lines in ALL CAPS... I swear it works.

Shot To Def: Diz Gibran & Moonshine
A few images from a shoot I did last week with Diz and Moon, a couple of LA's finest. Not only do they make some of the freshest music this side of 1996, but they do it all with a smile and a middle finger -- like a backhanded compliment you end up saying "thank you" to. Check out their 2009 release here, google their new leaks from earlier in the month, and add them to your summertime playlist.

Well Endeavored
Did anyone else get on Vimeo today and see this? Pretty amazing. Props to NASA for getting a little trick and putting this together. And just think, one day, THE MOON!!!!

Behind The Curtain
My good friend and very talented photographer, Andy J. Scott came down and shot some behind the scenes photos and video of a shoot I had for Pacific Sunwear last week in Venice Beach. A few minor incidents aside, we had one hell of a day and very much look forward to the window displays in all of the PacSuns come July.
Although I despise seeing pictures of myself, let alone video, Andy did such a damn fine job I figured I'd put them up for all to see. Here I am not posting for over a week, and when I finally do, it's of pictures of myself... what has become of ATG?!?! YOU'VE CHANGED, MAN! Check out Andy's site for more of his portraits, he does some great stuff including his ongoing portraits series of local LA rappers.

Paper Cut
One of the most simple and most brilliant projects I've seen in a while. Artist, Olly Moss shows us pop-culture through the filter of an age old technique. I'm jealous that you all get to experience the site for the first time, there's enough there to keep you occupied, recalling 80's pop-films for a good 20 minutes.

Godspeed, My Friend. Godspeed
I had the absolute honor of shooting an edition of Godspeed magazine a few months back, and I can finally say the issue is now available for order. I've been a fan of Godspeed for a minute now, so when I was asked to shoot Jason Webber of ATR, I literally jumped at the chance. Exposed welds to penis pumps, Jason is one of the most colorful motorcycle builders I've had the pleasure of meeting. He's one of those guys you bring camping just so you won't have to worry about telling good stories around the fire... he'll take care of those.
Below are a few of my favorite shots, but the rest can be seen in issue #24. So... support me, support Jason Webber, and support Godspeed, an independent magazine printing editions one at a time.

Grocery Shopping
I was at one of my new favorite shopping spots, General Quarters, the other day when I felt pure, silky smooth butter. Yep. And by butter, I mean organic, domestically-grown cotton spun into perfectly washed and fitting tees by Groceries Apparel. I bought 4. Based in LA, Groceries is making some of the finest fitting, feeling, and most economically sensible tees on the market. You can lather yourself in your very own butter for around 35 bucks. Not bad for all the effort and R&D that has gone into making the company totally and completely "green." Made in Los Angeles. Made right.
